A Chinese netizen recently alleged that dancer NOZE and SHINee‘s Taemin are dating. The netizen gathered alleged evidence to prove their claim, translating it into broken Korean to spread it to Korean fans.
Firstly, they claimed that in a photo NOZE sent of her in her pajamas, the background was familiar to the wallpaper in Taemin’s home. NOZE herself claimed that those were her pajamas as well through Dear U. Bubble.

They also often posted on social media at similar timings. Fans were suspicious as Taemin was not one to use social media often, but seemed to post whenever NOZE did. They claimed he was reminded of his fans when he was with her. The following stories were posted two minutes within each other.

They noted that a picture of the sunset posted by NOZE was similar to the view from Taemin’s house. They especially noted the curves of the mountain range, and the leaves of the tree in the corner.
