EXO's Baekhyun & Girls' Generation's Taeyeon reported to be dating + SM confirms it's true

Media outlet 'Dispatch' has dropped quite the news today as they have unleashed their exclusive report pertaining to an alleged relationship between SM Entertainment artists EXO's Baekhyun and Girls' Generation's Taeyeon!

'Dispatch' says that the two have been dating for 4 months now in the utmost secrecy. It's said the reporters from the media outlet first spotted them while EXO was practicing for their first concert. Taeyeon provided moral support for the exhausted Baekhyun, who had to spend nights practicing due to the group's redoing of their choreography and recording with Kris's lawsuit.


Taeyeon headed towards Baekhyun's dorm and picked him up at a discreet location and enjoyed a date in the car. 'Dispatch' says they also spotted the two on several dates including before the concert as well as after the concert on the 26th and on the 28th before Girls' Generation's leave for Japan. Baekhyun would also meet Taeyeon near her dorm as well.


An insider apparently revealed, "Baekhyun picked Taeyeon as his ideal type as he was debuting, and Taeyeon found it cute... The two showed their interest in each other towards the latter half of last year, and started to date officially this February."

[Update] - After a few hours, SM Entertainment has released a statement to confirm that the two are in fact dating! A rep from the agency responded to media outlets, "Having started off as close sunbae-hoobae, the two recently developed feelings for each other and are in the beginning stages."

EXO-M Speak out in Response to Kris's Lawsuit

EXO-M reportedly expressed their shock and sadness in response to Kris's lawsuit and their united front as 11 members to prepare for their upcoming first solo concert in a recent interview with a Chinese media outlet.

According to Chinese media outlet QQ (Tencent) and also picked up by Korean media outlets, EXO-M confirmed the earlier reports that they did not expect Kris's lawsuit as they shared their thoughts:


Lay: "Our EXO members are carrying out our activities and have no issues with our agency."


Chen: "All of the members are having a difficult time and were hurt by this. It is sad that this happened right before our concert which we've been dreaming about for a long time."


Tao: "Pulling this kind of action without consulting any of us as we await our world tour which is important to all of us is unacceptable and it is a bad act of betrayal [can also be understood as 'it is an act of bad faith']."


Xiumin: "It's very bewildering that such a thing has happened. But even during a time like this, our 11 members will unite and put our all into preparing for our concert to keep our promise with fans. We are One!"


Luhan: "Our 11 members all think the same way and will focus on preparing for our concert. We hope that there will be no more malicious public sentiment."


With Kris' status as a member of EXO currently uncertain, the other 11 members will have to make up for the missing spot in the midst of all of this turmoil.
