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.

TWICE’s Jihyo has made headlines after purchasing a building worth a staggering 4 billion won in her 20s.

On May 2, Herald Economy reported that Jihyo bought a building in Seongdong-gu, Seongsu-dong 2-ga, Seoul, in early March of last year.

By the end of that month, she had completed the full payment and transferred ownership, with no mortgage attached, suggesting that the property was purchased entirely with cash.

Just a month after the purchase, Jihyo registered as a housing rental business operator and completed the registration for private rental housing.

As a housing rental business operator, she is eligible for tax benefits, such as reduced acquisition tax. However, she is also subject to certain regulations, including a 5% cap on rent increases, compliance with rental periods, and mandatory insurance for tenant deposits.

The building, which was built in 1986, has a land area of 152㎡ (45.98 pyeong) and a total floor area of 330.21㎡ (99.89 pyeong). It includes one basement level and three floors above ground.

The property is situated in Seongsu Strategic Redevelopment Zone 2, an area currently undergoing redevelopment.

Given the area's future potential, it is believed that Jihyo's investment is more focused on the property's long-term value rather than immediate rental income.
