Amid first public dating allegations involving Taemin of the boy group SHINee, Taemin denied the rumors, putting an end to the dating speculation. However, the alleged partner, Noze, has remained silent.
Recently, photos of two individuals speculated to be Taemin and Noze embracing surfaced and garnered attention on online communities and social media. The photos showed the two appearing close, such as performing back hugs and linking arms, leading everyone to believe they were in a romantic relationship.
Consequently, the individuals in the photos were speculated to be Taemin and Noze, and the pictures spread quickly. In this regard, Taemin's agency, Big Planet Made Entertainment, maintained a position of 'checking' for seven hours, only concluding 'no' after an entire day had passed. Taemin's side stated, 'The two are close colleagues who have been working together' and clarified that they are not in a romantic relationship.
Then, on the 18th, Taemin also communicated his feelings through the fan interaction platform Bubble. Taemin stated, 'I was very upset due to many misunderstandings and thought a lot about how to convey the truth,' reflecting on the difficult situation he faced, and added, 'What's certain is that I hope you will continue to trust me like now, and as much as you believe in me, I will be a person who pays back the misunderstandings and the love and consideration you have given me,' thus wrapping things up.
However, the alleged partner, Noze, remains silent. His recent post on social media is filled with clips of Taemin, but Noze has not conveyed any stance, which has drawn even more attention.
