Former EXO Member Tao Addresses Rumored Engagement to Xu Yiyang

News has surfaced that former EXO member Tao has reportedly proposed to his rumored girlfriend, Xu Yiyang. The idol has since briefly addressed the matter.

For the past four years, there have been persistent rumors that Tao is in a romantic relationship with Xu Yiyang, an actress and singer under the same agency, L.TAO Entertainment. Despite his previous denials, viral images and footage of the two holding each other and going out together have solidified the fact that they have a strong bond.

Recent reports have stated that the two have plans to get married. However, can this information be trusted? Continue reading for further details.

Towards the end of April, it was announced that Tao, a former member of EXO, had proposed to Xu Yiyang after almost four years of dating. This news sparked various reactions on Chinese social media. Despite the intense scrutiny, Tao and Xu Yiyang chose to keep their lips sealed regarding the matter.

Later on, the Sina newspaper was informed by acquaintances of Tao and Xu Yiyang that their supposed marriage proposal was actually a hoax. Contrary to what was believed, the photo of the couple was not a genuine proposal but rather a behind-the-scenes shot from a reality TV show that Tao had produced.

A few days after initial reports surfaced about the alleged proposal, Tao’s agency unexpectedly addressed the issue. In his statement to the media, the male singer neither confirmed nor denied the rumors. Instead, his agency stated, “As this is a personal matter for our artist, we are unable to disclose any information.”

Despite being discredited, searches related to Tao and Xu Yiyang’s relationship continue to dominate the top results on Weibo. These searches include keywords such as:

  • “Did Huang Zitao propose to Xu Yiyang?”
  • “Does it count as a proposal if colleagues are around?”
  • “Huang Zitao caressing Xu Yiyang’s cheek”
  • “Huang Zitao and Xu Yiyang make their first public appearance together following proposal rumors.”
  • “Huang Zitao tells Xu Yiyang not to point fingers.”

Their names often appear at the top of Weibo searches, causing many internet users to criticize them for manufacturing drama and obsessively seeking fame.

A number of internet users expressed their disappointment at the couple’s exploitation of their relationship for publicity on social media. Numerous individuals have requested that they cease their “performance,”with loyal followers of Tao even choosing to no longer support the celebrity.

Since 2020, there have been persistent rumors that Tao and Xu Yiyang are in a romantic relationship. Xu Yiyang, who is under Tao’s L.TAO Entertainment, seems to hold a special place in his heart. During her participation on “Chuang 2020,”Tao showed his support for her by promoting her to his followers and urging them to vote for her. Additionally, he exclusively followed Xu Yiyang on social media for a period of time.

In the past year, the couple has been openly posting pictures of their shared experiences. It has also been reported that Tao has introduced Xu Yiyang to his family. During their recent trip to Yunnan Province, China, Tao’s behavior towards Xu Yiyang displayed his protectiveness and slight possessiveness, especially when a male fan showed admiration for her.

It has been reported that this is not the first instance of Chinese celebrity couples utilizing publicity stunts to enhance their reputations. For instance, Anita Yuen and Julian Cheung were accused of orchestrating three televised weddings.

It has been noted that Christy Chung and Shawn Zhang often use social media as a platform to express their marital problems, resulting in a repetitive cycle of conflicts, breakups, and reconciliations. This trend appears to be prevalent among certain celebrity couples in China.
