EXO Tao held a family gathering this time with a dating rumor.

Local news outlets in China, like Sina Entertainment News, reported on November 1 that Tao had recently seen his mother with singer Xu Yiyang.

In the picture that was shared, Tao gives Ms. Xu some of her soup while she smiles and talks.

After dinner, Tao and Ms. Xu went home together and moved some furniture, which made people think they were dating again.

Before, it was said twice that they were dating. When Tao and Xu Yiyang were seen on the beach together in February, the first dating rumors began to spread.

At the time, Tao said, "All of our artists are family."

Then, in April, it was said that the two had gone to Hangzhou, China, and spent two days on set there.

Tao, on the other hand, joined the group EXO in 2012 and left in 2015 because of problems with SM Entertainment. He is busy in China right now.

Xu Yiyang used to be a trainee at SM Entertainment. In 2016, she was a member of the group SM Rookies, and in 2018, she signed an exclusive contract with Long Tao Entertainment, which was started by Tao.

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
