TAO (former EXO) announces marriage to former SM Entertainment trainee

TAO, a former member of the Korean boy group EXO, has announced his marriage to a former trainee member of SM Entertainment.
On the 2nd, TAO posted several photos on his personal Weibo with the caption "Goal achieved." In the published photos, TAO said,
She is posing sweetly with the bag draped over the shoulder of Chinese singer and actress Xu Yiyang, a former trainee member of SM Entertainment.
The couple also drew attention by holding their marriage certificates.
This document is issued by a notary public to prove that they are legally married, and through it the two announced that they were husband and wife.
On the same day, Xu Yiyang also posted on Weibo, "I want to date with the purpose of marriage."
In 2014, Xu Yiyang officially announced his marriage to TAO. TAO debuted as an EXO member in 2012, but after leaving the group in 2015, he continued his activities in China.
After joining SM Entertainment and experiencing trainee life with "aespa" member NINGNING, she left SM Entertainment in 2018 and began her own group "Li" in China in 2019.
In 2020, rumors of a love affair between TAO and Xu Yiyan surfaced. Since then, they have been spotted on dates together, and the rumors have continued to circulate about the love affair.
The two kept quiet for about four years before suddenly admitting to being in a relationship in July of this year. At the time, TAO posted a photo of him kissing Xu Yiyan with the caption, "I hope we'll be together forever."
In August, TAO became a hot topic when she proposed to Xu Yiyan on a Chinese TV show with tears in her eyes, saying, "Please allow me to marry you."
After admitting to their relationship, TAO quickly proposed marriage, leading some to speculate that she may have conceived before marriage.
However, without making any special mention of the matter, the announcement of the couple's marriage has come as a surprise to many.
