Taemin of SHINee was spotted dating dancer Noze, who paused activities in the entertainment industry due to an abuse controversy, while his agency is currently verifying this.
On the 16th, the agency One Hundred said to OSEN, "We have not yet verified the details. We will inform you if we have a position after reviewing the content."
Recently, photos of what appeared to be Taemin and Noze dating circulated through online communities and social media. In the released photos, the two are seen walking while hugging each other or with their arms around each other.
While the face of the woman believed to be Noze is clearly visible, the face of the man presumed to be Taemin is obscured by a hat and scarf. However, some netizens speculate that the individual is Taemin based on photos that Taemin had posted on social media in the past.
The date and location where the photo was taken have not been disclosed, but fans speculate it to be before December 2023, when SHINee's Key posted a photo of Taemin on social media.
Meanwhile, rumors of a romantic relationship between Taemin and Noze have consistently arisen among fans. Some fans noted that Taemin's voice was heard in a video Noze sent to fans through a fan communication platform, and there are claims that Taemin's ring performance at a concert was for Noze, who had been invited as an audience member.
However, the two have not disclosed any particular stance regarding these dating rumors.
