The dating rumors between SHINee member Taemin and dancer Noze have resurfaced after a year. This time, the situation is escalating as photos suggesting that Taemin and Noze are engaging in skinship have been released. Amid fans' concerns, Taemin's side has not provided a direct response.
Recently, on online communities and social media, photos showing two individuals, speculated to be Taemin and Noze, hugging have circulated, drawing attention. In the photos, the two appear close, with one giving a back hug and interlocking arms.
The assumption that Taemin and Noze are the subjects of the photos has reignited their dating rumors. The woman in the photo is clearly visible, and internet users have identified her as Noze. Although the man in the photo is covering his face with a hat and scarf, there is speculation that he is Taemin based on a photo previously posted by SHINee member Key.
In response, Taemin's agency, Big Planet Made Entertainment, stated to OSEN on the morning of the 16th, "We have not confirmed the details yet. We will share our position if there is any." Their cautious stance reflects the private nature of dating.
The agency remains firm on its position of "under review" for the seventh hour, without providing a clear answer. While dating rumors have surfaced, neither confirmation nor denial has been issued, and it remains unverified whether the person in the photo is indeed Taemin, leading fans to express frustration, stating it is "frustrating."
Particularly, since the dating suspicions between Taemin and Noze have consistently emerged among fans, the impact of official reports is even greater. Previously, fans raised suspicions that Taemin's voice was captured in a video Noze sent to fans on a fan communication platform, and dating rumors also arose from a social media post last February.
Given the ongoing dating rumors between Taemin and Noze, there has been significant interest in the photos suggesting skinship, while fans are only left frustrated by the agency's prolonged "under review" stance. Attention is now focusing on whether Taemin and Noze will acknowledge the reignited dating rumors after a long deliberation, or if they will continue to uphold their officially stated policy of "private life unavailability."
