Thought I'd drop this little tibit, simply to document something that ironically sucked me back into the Taeun vortex against my will xD

 

Recently Taemin got swept up in a dating rumour with Noze, one of his and Kai's backup dancers. A Chinese netizen compiled their findings and used Google Translate to spread this on Korean forums, though Shawols have thoroughly debunked almost all of the "evidence", and it's speculated the netizen is doing this as a smear campaign against Taemin. Considering they're (apparently) accusing Taemin of "not treating his fans well" and "he gives more autographs to international fans", which - doesn't correlate to him dating Noze at all imo, I wouldn't be surprised if that was their true intention. It's reminding me of when Naeun suddenly got that old dating rumour with Lee Soohyuk revived right before one of her dramas aired. Taemin hasn't immediately debunked this himself like the other times but whether or not he's dating Noze*, the situation's ridiculous in of itself so I don't think he felt the need to clarify this one lol

*If he is dating her then I hope they treat each other well and are happy ^^ The netizen posted a video of Minho, Key and Noze attending Taemin's concert, and Minho seemingly looked at Noze when Taemin proposed to us Shawols(?) (where's our dating rumour with Taemin, he's been flirting with us since 2018 asdfghjkl). If Minho was looking at Noze then that has to be one of the cutest things I've ever seen

 

Anyways, one of the pieces of "evidence" was a "Lovestagram" where Noze used a black heart emoji as a caption for one of her Instagram posts, and Taemin used a black heart for one of his posts. Both posts featured the two in all-black clothing as well. The Chinese netizen made it seem like they posted within the same time period, but fans quickly pointed out they cropped out the date the photos were uploaded, which showed these posts were made months apart. So - what Lovestagram? Then a day or two after this dating rumour, Naeun posted on her Instagram, with a majority of the photos featuring her in black clothes, and the caption she chose? A black heart. It's most likely a coincidence but the timing really took me out haha

Actually when Naeun updated her IG last night, idk bit it’s kinda funny 😆 like Naeunnie~ is this how you define reassurance? 🔥She’s bragging the black heart emoji though 🖤

Finally someone said it! I’ve been checking this forum right after Allkpop dropped the Taemin Noz* rumors thingy, and no one is talking about it, not until forevernampyeon_ dropped this 😄 TaEun has a lot of common couple things and lovestagram posts, but have never been rumors that the two of them have something, they are more obvious than this Noz* girl. Anyway, Naeun IG post last night is so hilarious, she's so funny though. I never knew that Naeun can do this thing, she’s mocking the black heart emoji 😂 And now, she and Taemin have the same post (latest post) wearing black and same emoji caption on IG 😎 She's the Queen indeed 🤭

It's been a minute since I've been around here, but honestly, I've been looking forward to diving into this chat, especially after scrolling through Naeun's latest IG post. So, here's the thing—I've got this theory, and remember, it's just a theory, guys. I was thinking that maybe Naeun and Taemin had a bit of a rough patch or maybe even took a break, which had us fans worried anyway. But with Minho and Naeun teaming up for a drama lately, I couldn't help but think that there's no way Taemin and Naeun didn't end up reconnecting (if they ever had a rough patch- that is). And then, with all these rumors floating around about Noze and Taemin, I was just sitting here waiting for some sort of sign from Taeun. And bam, Naeun drops this IG post all in black with a black heart for a caption and that too a few days after valentine's day, which is hilarious because the Noze rumor sprung up since fans were connecting her post to Taemin's post since it apparently had the same asethetic lol- Noze and Taemin's post is like four months apart guys (FYI).

 

Naeun's post totally blew my mind and cracked me up at the same time. Thought it was like a sign, pulling me back down the Taeun rabbit hole yet again. Can't help but get sucked back in. It's just too good ha ha.

@forevernampyeon It definitely had me giggling xD Naeun is witty when she wants to be ~

 

@Mango Pie
Taemin: *visits the exact same obscure L.A. store Naeun went to during her one of many trips to America in 2020 and posted about it*
That netizen:
Noze: *posts a picture of the sunset*
That netizen: It had silhouettes of the mountains and Taemin's house has a view of a mountainside, which must mean they're dating!

 

(While I won't disregard Taemin and Noze as a possibility, they're gonna have to build a stronger case if they want to convince me lol)

 

@thetaeunship It's like whenever we start to try and really move on that Taeun drop something on us, eh? I was somewhere between wondering if we'd get anything again given the circumstances (no more idol!Naeun, Taemin's fresh of military, etc.), thinking they're at a stage of life where maybe they're quietly reassured in their relationships and don't need to show it as much as before, or just trying to move on. Then the black heart fiasco happened - and close to Valentine's Day! Pretty sure something similar happened last year too. You're right, Taeun is too good to let go haha

Naeun, having spent years post-WGM avoiding public interaction with Taemin, retired from idol life which technically dwindles their potential public interactions to zero, and is now sitting through an entire dinner with Taemin's beloved hyung as her castmate (again) and SHINee music playing in every corner of the room: 🧍‍♀️

(Jokes aside, it looks like she had a good time (even if it must've felt a little awkward) and I'm super happy for her ^-^)

 

The entertainment world's smaller than we think but it's kinda funny how where Naeun goes, Taemin goes 😂

It’s nice to also see this thread kind of active after a long while

Hiii everyone, it's been such a long time 🥹I'm happy to be back ! If I'm not wrong naeun finished shooting Melo House with Minho today? In one of the pictures she posted today I saw a diary, and I was just curious as to what was written on it! Does anyone know? Because when I see it with my delulu eyes I see 태민 (taemin). Also the whole car event they did reminds me of what taemin did on the superm show, besides I also wonder why she put the song "something between us" and the LOVE behind 😆 it could maybe just be her way of thanking her friends and crew, though I feel like it's been a long since I saw Naeun cry especially for an event? I feel like she got close to the team very quick~ and I'm so proud of it and the woman she has become.

im so sorry to brust the bubble, i want to clarify some things that have been mentioned
• the owner of that journal is naeun's staff, lee taerin.
• i guess the trunk car suprise is common in korea
• the song can be used for farewell because the lyrics  "on the way home after saying i like you, your face keeps popping up, i secretly fluttered, i’m working harder for you than anyone else" and also her staff sing that song in the video

Thank you for your clarifications! I was just too delulu this time haha. The black heart from Naeun made me so happy but then again I'm starting to think what if he's with the girl he is rumoured to be dating because of all the little details I've seen with them. And I guess the black heart Naeun put on her insta post is the last thing I can hold on to for now 😭Well I'll be happy for them either way but I just want to hold on that last little hope. Also I find it strange how Naeun can be this professional in her career to act with Minho again knowing he is almost family to Taemin, whom she probably dated at one point, without feeling awkward. And that on both side, like even Minho was very pro. So I'm wondering if anyone would do that. Like if you had to act with your ex's bro would you take on the offer?

Bro when you said that it reminded me of a tarot reading i heard , take it with a grain of salt . I believe it was a reading around december , i was wondering if the lady was talking about naeun or someone working with both of them in the drama  or outside work. Aside from that yea it must be awkward, but since its work they probably are fine.

Hello everyone. I just registered my account although I've been a reader since 2015 and loved all those clues you guys posted.

I was reading the news and noticed that Taemin (and Onew) had not renewed his contract. Which reminded me that in a WGM episode where they went to the bank, Taemin stated that he would retire at 30.

I adore his music and am confident he might not completely leave the industry, but since he has not yet signed with a new agency, I am concerned.😓

Also, SM is a bit controlling when it comes to Idols' personal lives (and pretty bad in resolving controversies), so do you guys think this might also be his chance to also announce his relation?

Hi! I did feel that too but Taemin recently said that he didn't plan on retiring at 30 like what he said during WGM or on other shows. I think he didn't sign the contract because SM is just so bad at managing his career, same for Onew. So I feel like both of them will probably sign with another company. There already was rumours that Taemin was signing with Kany's agency, l don't know if that's true or not. But I'm pretty sure they are not retiring yet. 

 

If they were retiring I think they would have prepared us for that, and Taemin and Onew are still on SM group contract so they are still part of SHINee group activity. I think the only reason why Key and Minho renewed their contract is because they had to do so in order for the group to keep existing as SHINee. Otherwise they might not be able to sign their own songs neither keep their group name. 

 

But what you said might be true, we will have to wait and see for now. I want to believe that there still is hope for Taemin and Naeun. But with all the rumours around them and their "current bf and gf" I'm trying to stay neutral whatever happens. In the end their happiness is what matters the most!❤️

congratulations to our taeminie for the awards he received, im happy to see taemin and onew with their solo activities which make both of them shine even more.
i really miss naeun, i hope she has lots of other projects because her drama with minho "melo house" will air in oct, and it looks like naeun will have a cameo in the drama story of lady ok whose main character is lim jiyeon, but i don't know what she's up to now :"(
