SHINee’s Taemin has finally spoken up after getting caught in dating rumors with popular dancer Noze — and he shared how hurt he felt about it.
On April 18, Taemin talked to fans through Bubble and opened his heart. He said, “It must have been hard for you with everything going on lately, right? I feel so sorry and thankful because fans love me so much.”
He continued, “I was really upset because of all the misunderstandings and words that sounded convincing but weren’t true. I thought a lot about how I could share the truth. But as you probably know, even one word can lead to more misunderstandings and more explanations.”
Taemin also said, “Not always, but sometimes people want to hear the answer they hope for, not the truth. Maybe that’s why, after going through many things since I was young, I’ve learned to hold back on what I say.”
He ended his message by telling fans, “One thing I’m sure about is that I hope you’ll keep believing in me like you do now. I’ll do my best to be someone who can return the love and trust you’ve given me. Thank you always, and I love you.”
Just days earlier, on April 16, dating rumors between Taemin and Noze started spreading after photos surfaced online. In the pictures, two people — believed to be Taemin and Noze — were seen walking closely, linking arms, and even hugging.
Though the photos didn’t have a confirmed date or location, it wasn’t the first time the two had been linked together, so the rumors quickly gained attention.
The next day, on April 17, Taemin’s agency Big Planet Made Entertainment firmly shut down the rumors. They said, “They are just close colleagues who have worked together. Please refrain from making groundless guesses.”
Fans are now showing support for Taemin, praising him for being honest and staying strong during the situation.
