EXO's Tao confirms relationship with former SM Rookies trainee Xu Yiyang after 4 years
Former EXO member Tao and former SM Rookies trainee Xu Yiyang have confirmed their relationship after years of speculation.
On July 14th, Tao posted a message saying, "I hope we will be together forever," alongside a photo. Xu Yiyang also acknowledged their relationship, sharing, "I make a wish at the seaside at sunset."
Tao debuted with EXO-M in 2012 but left the group in 2015 after requesting to terminate his contract with SM Entertainment.
Since then, he has been active in China. Xu Yiyang was part of SM Entertainment's pre-debut team, SM Rookies.
Dating rumors about the couple have been circulating since 2020, and last year, fans spotted them on dates, adding to the speculation.
Earlier this year, Chinese media reported that the couple visited Korea together and publicly declared their love at a nightclub in Gangnam, sparking further interest and even marriage rumors.
Park Bo Gum and Go Youn Jung’s throwback chemistry is driving fans wild all over again thanks to their hit shows
Park Bo Gum and Go Youn Jung’s unexpected meeting from five years ago is making waves again online!
As Netflix’s When Life Gives You Tangerines and tvN’s Resident Playbook continue to rise in popularity, fans are rediscovering a hidden gem from the past — a music video where Park Bo Gum and a rookie Go Youn Jung played a couple.
On the April 18 episode of KBS 2TV’s The Seasons – Park Bo Gum’s Cantabile, legendary singer Lee Seung Chul appeared and showed his close bond with Bo Gum, warmly introducing himself as “Bo Gum’s hyung, Seung Chul.”
While chatting with Bo Gum, Lee Seung Chul shared, “I’ve been pulling all-nighters watching When Life Gives You Tangerines. I even copied Gwan Sik’s hairstyle!”
He went on to praise Bo Gum, saying, “Bo Gum once appeared in my music video. I was so thankful I promised him a meal. I’ve met many people over the past 40 years, but Bo Gum is truly different. He’s a blessing.”
The song he was referring to was “I Will Give You All”, which was part of his single album and also an OST for the webtoon The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor.
In the music video, Park Bo Gum starred as the male lead — and the female lead was none other than a then-rookie Go Youn Jung.
After the episode aired, fans quickly rushed to find the music video, and it started gaining attention again.
Viewers were shocked to realize the actress beside Bo Gum was Go Youn Jung, now widely recognized for her role as Oh Eun Young in Resident Playbook.
Comments began flooding the video on platforms like 1theK and Kakao Page, with people saying:
“I came back after watching Bo Gum sing — wait, that’s Go Youn Jung?!”
“I saw this after watching his talk show!”
“Didn’t know who the female lead was before, but she’s a total star now.”
“Their visuals together? Unreal.”
“Why am I only seeing this now?”
“Please let them reunite in a drama!”
“This duo was ahead of its time.”
With fans begging for a future drama project featuring the two, many are now hoping that this newly resurfaced video could lead to a real on-screen reunion.
