The captivating world of K-pop never fails to arouse intrigue, particularly when it involves fans' favorite stars' personal lives.

The current talk of the town revolves around Lee Taeyong, a prominent member of the popular South Korean boy band NCT, who recently faced an interesting inquiry that left fans and followers both amused and bemused.

The question of the hour is: Is Taeyong secretly dating his bandmate Jaehyun?

Unexpected Revelations during an Instagram Live Session

Following the announcement on May 14 that NCT's Taeyong would release his first solo mini-album, anticipation among fans has been palpable.

In the candid session, Taeyong confessed his feelings about his album release, revealing, "I'm thrilled, though a tad nervous. But overall, I'm confident about my album; it's my best work to date."

Despite being a bit anxious, his confidence shines through, testament to his dedication and hard work.

A Curveball from the Comment Section

During the interactive Instagram live, the atmosphere took a curious turn when Taeyong stumbled upon an unexpected comment. In a sudden twist, a fan requested Taeyong to touch his nose, a puzzling directive that was left unfinished.

Confused, Taeyong reacted with an incredulous "What? No?"

The fan culture often involves playful requests during live streams, intended to coax stars into revealing something more personal or confirming an unspoken truth.

The unexpected request for Taeyong to touch his nose was later revealed to be a code of sorts. The decoded message implied, "Touch your nose if you date Jaehyun."

The Controversial Debate

Jaehyun, another beloved member of NCT, was the crux of this eyebrow-raising question that took fans by surprise and invoked mixed feelings among them.

While some found the query amusing, others deemed it unnecessary, wishing the focus had stayed on Taeyong's personal journey and his highly anticipated album.
