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.
