Chinese singer, rapper, and actor Huang Zitao, also known as Tao, recently made headlines with the release of his new album, '30's Club,' and the announcement of two concerts in Guangzhou, China. Unfortunately, Tao had to cancel one of the concerts due to alleged deteriorating health.

Reports suggest that insufficient ticket sales made it impossible to proceed with both shows. Even the remaining concert, which went on as planned, faced difficulties.

Despite significantly reducing ticket prices from 368 yuan to 47.84 yuan, tickets remained unsold until the day prior to the event.

There are speculations within certain circles that Tao's recent dating rumors might have played a significant role in the departure of fans.

Tao has been linked to Xu Yiyang, a former SM Entertainment trainee, in various dating rumors since 2020.

They were frequently spotted together and sparked attention. In a nightclub in Gangnam, rumors spread that Tao publicly confessed his love for Xu Yiyang by displaying the message 'Love u Xu Yiyang' on a large screen.

Pictures of the screen circulated online, and eyewitness accounts supported the validity of the confession.

K-netizens expressed their thoughts on the situation, saying, "This is so sad," "Why did he make that choice?" "Xi Yiyang?" "Wow, he lowered his price to 8,300 KRW," "He's in Korea?" "He lives an enjoyable life," "8,300 KRW is legendary," "His news is just funny now," "Wow, his tickets are cheaper than a YouTube Premium subscription," "Why is he in Korea?" "8,300 KRW is the price of two Tanghulus," "I like Yiyang but why is she dating him?" and "My time is worth more than 8,300 KRW."

Former EXO member Tao was born on May 2, 1993, in Qingdao, Shandong, China. He became a prominent member of the South Korean-Chinese boy band EXO and its sub-unit EXO-M when he joined the group in 2011.

However, in 2015, he decided to leave EXO and pursue a solo career in China.

Dex recently had a fun and lighthearted chat with IVE's Jang Wonyoung, who is nine years younger than him, during an episode of Dex's Fridge Interview.

On January 16, the YouTube channel 117 uploaded the episode titled "Everything About Wonyoung From the Stars," featuring Jang Wonyoung as the special guest. The two shared laughs and talked openly in a cheerful atmosphere.

As soon as Jang Wonyoung entered the studio, Dex couldn’t hide his excitement, saying, "It felt like a strawberry was walking toward me."

He continued with sweet compliments, adding, "Even though it's winter, the energy Wonyoung brings feels like spring."

Dex went on to reveal, "Someone I know told me, ‘Jang Wonyoung is different,’ and now I understand. You’re truly extraordinary.”

The two guests, born in different generations (Dex in 1995 and Jang Wonyoung in 2002), joked about their age gap. When Dex mentioned the generational differences, Wonyoung reassured him, saying, “I actually like making friends with older people, like older sisters or people older than me.”

Taking a bold turn, Dex jokingly asked, “What’s the age limit for dating up?” Wonyoung, staying composed, laughed and said, “That’s such a funny question.” Dex, clearly amused, admitted, “I was hoping you’d be flustered, but you’re not fazed at all!”

Dex also revealed that he put extra effort into his appearance for the episode. “I tried to look as young as possible today, so I wore glasses,” he confessed.

Wonyoung playfully complimented him, saying, “They suit you well.” Blushing, Dex replied with a big smile, “Really?”

Meanwhile, IVE is gearing up for their official comeback. On January 13, they pre-released "Rebel Heart," the title track from their third EP, IVE EMPATHY. Fans can look forward to the full album release on February 3!
