Amid renewed romance rumors between SHINee member Taemin and dancer Noze, it has been over a day since the stance of "under confirmation" was shared.
Rumors of Taemin and Noze's romance have been consistently discussed among fans. Some fans claimed that a video Noze sent to fans through a fan communication platform featured Taemin's voice, and they have argued that Taemin's ring performance at a concert was for Noze, who was invited as an audience member at the time.
However, neither Taemin nor Noze's representatives have provided any clear stance regarding the romance allegations that arose among fans. Without any statements from either side, the romance rumors have remained as mere suspicions among fans.
In the meantime, the romance rumors between Taemin and Noze resurfaced. Recently, photos surfaced on online communities and social media that appeared to show Taemin and someone resembling Noze on a date.
The individuals in the photos, presumed to be Taemin and Noze, displayed affection by hugging each other or walking with their arms linked. Those who saw the photos noted that the face of the woman resembling Noze was clearly visible, while the man presumed to be Taemin had his face obscured by a hat and scarf, yet some speculated he was Taemin based on past photos of SHINee's Key.
The date and location of the photos taken have not been disclosed. However, fans speculated that it was around December 2023 when SHINee's Key posted a photo of Taemin on his social media account. If the fans' speculation is correct, it would mean the two have been dating for about two years.
However, Taemin's side has shown a cautious response to the romance rumors. Taemin's agency, Big Planet Made, stated on the 16th, "We have not yet confirmed the details. We will provide a response if we have one."
Yet, even after a day has passed since the allegations resurfaced, both Taemin's side and Noze's side have not made any substantial statements. In a situation where it is difficult to ascertain whether the romance is true or not, or if it is private, suspicions are growing.
Meanwhile, Taemin will host "2024-25 TAEMIN WORLD TOUR Ephemeral Gaze" at KSPO DOME on the 26th and 27th. Noze is scheduled to appear on Mnet's "World of Street Woman Fighter" set to air on May 27.
