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.
