In a surprising turn of events, Chinese singer and actor Huang Zitao, widely known as Tao and formerly a member of the popular group EXO, has made headlines for his ongoing romance with rumored partner Xu YiYang.

Tao, currently managing his entertainment company, "Long Tao Entertainment," has solidified his relationship by signing a contract with Xu YiYang.

Xu YiYang, a former trainee under SM Entertainment's rookie group SM Rookies, gained recognition through the Chinese variety show 'my SMT,' where she appeared alongside aespa's Ningning before departing from the company in 2018.

Speculation about their relationship began in 2020, and despite consistent denials, the duo was caught entering a house together and engaging in affectionate dates last year.

On the 12th October, according to reports from the Chinese media outlet 'China Express,' Tao and Xu YiYang embarked on a trip to Korea.

The revelation took a public turn when Tao, at a nightclub in Gangnam, publicly declared his love for Xu YiYang.

Displaying a grand gesture, Tao spared no expense to project the words 'Love u Yi YANG' on a large screen.

Although no photographic evidence of the couple together surfaced, eyewitness accounts of Tao's presence at a luxurious hotel in Gangnam have circulated widely, confirming his current stay in Korea.

Netizens have flooded social media platforms with diverse reactions, questioning Tao with comments like "How about saying 'I love you'?" and pointing out that he denied being in a relationship two years ago, raising speculation about their current status.

In the backdrop of this romantic revelation, it's worth noting that Tao made his debut with EXO-M in 2012. In 2015, he left the group and initiated a legal battle against SM Entertainment over an exclusive contract dispute.

Since then, Tao has successfully transitioned into an active career as both an actor and singer in China.

BLACKPINK’s Jennie recently shared a fun conversation with her mom, revealing her mother’s unexpected reaction to her becoming a Chanel ambassador!

On March 13, a video was uploaded to the YouTube channel "Study King Genius Hong Jin Kyung." In the video, Hong Jin Kyung visited Jennie’s office.

Since Jennie had previously mentioned that Hong Jin Kyung always makes her laugh, she greeted her warmly with a big hug.

During their chat, Hong Jin Kyung shared a personal story, saying, "My daughter Rael went all the way to the U.S. to watch BLACKPINK at Coachella, but she got scammed when buying tickets. So, she couldn’t see BLACKPINK and ended up crying her eyes out." Jennie reacted with surprise and sympathy.

As they got to know each other better, Jennie decided to call her mom to ask about her prenatal dream. However, her mom didn’t answer right away, so Jennie joked, "She’ll call back later."

Jennie also opened up about her childhood, saying, "I had a strong sense of style from a young age. I loved fashion. I was a really obedient child, but when it came to school, I insisted on wearing what I wanted."

She then talked about her experience studying alone in New Zealand for five years, starting at age nine. "I think it was a crucial experience that helped shape who I am today," she shared.

When the topic of her Chanel ambassadorship came up, Jennie said, "It’s a brand I work with, but since I’ve been with them for so long, they feel like family."

Later, Jennie’s mom finally returned her call. When Jennie asked, "What was my prenatal dream?" her mother replied, "A really big tiger… ah, it caught a carp." Jennie laughed and said, "I think Mom is confused too."

But the moment that caught everyone’s attention was when Jennie asked how her mom felt about her being a Chanel ambassador. Her mother simply said, "Ah, it’s over."

Hong Jin Kyung then joked, "Does that mean it's now my daughter's era? It’s over?"—causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Later, Hong Jin Kyung playfully suggested playing a traditional Korean game with Jennie and made a hilarious request: "Jennie, when you go to Paris, I want to carry your bag. With my own money. But I’ll just bring a tiny camera and follow you a little. I won’t go inside Chanel."

After Hong Jin Kyung won the game, Jennie kept her promise and said, "See you in Paris (in October)," leaving fans excited for what’s next!
