Former EXO member Tao has officially proposed to Xu Yiyang.

According to Chinese media outlet Sohu Entertainment, on August 26th, Tao publicly proposed to Xu Yiyang during a broadcast. He asked, "Please allow me the honor of marrying you," which brought Xu Yiyang to tears.

Just last month, on July 14th, Tao and Xu Yiyang shared romantic photos of themselves holding hands and kissing on a beach, saying, "We want to be together forever."

Tao, who debuted with EXO in 2012, left the group in 2015. Since 2020, there have been rumors about him dating Xu Yiyang, a former SM Rookies trainee who is four years younger.

However, Tao previously mentioned, "Dating is a personal matter. If someone acknowledges their relationship, they should be blessed, and if they don't, it's not necessarily wrong."

Now that Tao has publicly acknowledged their relationship and proposed, many are wondering if their wedding will happen soon.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
