Taemin, a member of the popular K-pop group SHINee, has recently found himself at the center of dating rumors following viral photos showing him backhugging dancer Noze. The images quickly caught the attention of fans and sparked widespread speculation about their relationship. In response to the growing buzz, Taemin‘s agency, Big Planet Made, officially commented on the situation for the first time on April 16, according to an OSEN report.
However, the situation became more complex when an anonymous post surfaced on Instiz, a popular celebrity gossip platform. The post claimed that Taemin and Noze had recently ended their relationship, suggesting that the agencies involved might try to suppress details about the breakup. The insider behind the post implied that Taemin and Noze’s agencies would likely deny the dating rumors, as the two had already separated, and there was no need to delve into the specifics of their breakup.
The anonymous source added that the couple’s relationship had not lasted a year, disputing the notion that the backhugging photos were taken in December 2023, as some fans initially believed. This theory was based on a photo of Taemin shared by fellow SHINee member Key, which appeared to feature similar clothing and matching stature to the person in the viral image.
In addition to the backhugging photos, the pair had previously fueled rumors with subtle clues. Fans speculated they heard Taemin’s voice in a video posted by Noze on a fan platform, and there were other suspicions of them sharing intimate moments, such as posting similar photos of windows and plants from their respective homes.
As the rumors continue to swirl, both Taemin and Noze’s agencies have yet to confirm or deny the full details of their relationship, leaving fans to speculate on the nature of the two dancers’ connection.
