Recently, SHINee's Taemin and dancer NO:ZE have been at the center of attention in various online communities after one fan alleged they were dating.

On February 14, one fan claimed that Taemin was dating NO:ZE and posted various photos supporting their claims.

According to the fan, Taemin allegedly stopped giving out signatures to Korean fans but continued to give signatures to overseas fans. Not only that, but other subtle changes in his actions disappointed fans. The fan who initiated the speculation alleged that Taemin was not as committed to fans as before and continued to express anger.

The fan who began speculating that Taemin and NO:ZE were involved romantically also posted various photos as evidence.

In one photo, the netizen included NO:ZE's selfie photo that she shared with fans through Bubble chat. She explained she was in her pajamas at the time. However, the netizen noticed that her background wall had the same texture as the wall seen in Taemin's selfie.

The fan claimed that Taemin had significantly reduced his social media presence and seldom used the Bubble chat app. Furthermore, the netizen alleged that Taemin's rare posts or logins coincided with the times he was with NO:ZE, often posting simultaneously with her.

Additionally, the netizen claimed that NO:ZE had taken the sunrise photo she shared on New Year's at Taemin's home.

The netizen cited the shape of the leaves seen in NO:ZE's photo was identical to the leaves on the tree in Taemin's house. They also highlighted that the mountain in the background was the same one Taemin frequently shared in his photos with fans.

The netizen also kept a log of the times when Taemin sent messages on Bubble and claimed that he had logged on when he was with NO:ZE, celebrating her birthday. The fan continued to express disappointment as Taemin would not log onto Bubble for many days after that.

The netizen also claimed that NO:ZE and Taemin were seen wearing the same Sherpa hoodie hat.

They also claimed that Taemin began using the black heart emoticon that NO:ZE often uses.

Lastly, the fan alleged that Taemin was seen staring at NO:ZE with loving eyes.

However, other Korean netizens and fans are divided regarding this dating rumor.

While some netizens believe that Taemin and NO:ZE might very well be dating, others are not buying the evidence presented. They claim the evidence provided is insufficient to support that they are dating.

They commented, "He's been active for 17 years and he's old enough to date. But I think the evidence too weak?" "Who cares if he's dating or not? They like each other so they're dating," "I think they look great together. Leave them be," "I'm sorry, but they look good together. And I'm Taemin's fan too. To be honest, NO:ZE is pretty and she's a good dancer. So I think it's good," "I think this is too far-fetched," and "This fan is delusional."
