SHINee's Taemin and Noje are rumored to be dating again!

Hi, I'm a K-pop fan living in Korea. I'll give you the latest K-pop news that's trending in Korea.

Rumors of a possible romantic relationship between SHINee's Taemin and dancer Noze have surfaced again on online communities after a photo of them walking affectionately was uploaded.

The two people in the photo were linking arms and hugging each other from behind on the street, exchanging natural skinship like a couple.

This isn't the first time Taemin and Noje are dating again!

In fact, this is not the first time that Taemin and Noje have been rumored to be dating. Last year, suspicions were heightened when a photo was released that was believed to have been taken in the same space.

There was also analysis that the wallpaper patterns were similar in the photos taken in the same place and even the plants in the house were similar. In addition, with the hoodies that appeared to be couple items overlapping, fans began to question the relationship between the two.

Photos and videos, this time so affectionate

The sight of them laughing and talking while walking down the street and hugging each other naturally makes anyone feel like they have a relationship that goes beyond just affection.

However, the filming time and location have not yet been clearly revealed.

Agency's position: "Confirming the facts"

Currently, Taemin's agency Big Planet Made Entertainment has stated, "We are currently checking the facts." Although no clear statement has been made, fans are already reacting that the atmosphere is not good.

Both Taemin and Noje have consistently collaborated with SM artists in the past, and in particular, Noje joined Taemin on stage as a backup dancer in 2023.

Noje gained huge popularity through 'Street Woman Fighter' in 2021, but she stopped working for a while due to controversies such as failure to fulfill advertisements.

After that, she went on a long hiatus due to a settlement dispute with her agency, but now that these dating rumors have surfaced again as she is set to return to broadcasting on May 27 with Mnet's 'World of Street Woman Fighters,' she is garnering even more attention.

I don't know if Taemin and Noje's relationship is friendship or love, but in the nature of Korean K-pop culture, fans really hate it when male idols are in relationships. They think of them as their boyfriends. Idols also use this to market and sell albums, so the industry structure itself is similar to a pseudo-relationship.
