Another day, another proposal, and two artists choosing forever together! 💍🔥
In a move straight out of a romance novel, former EXO member Tao has officially popped the question to Xu Yiyang, a former SM trainee—and yes, the vibes were as dreamy as you’d imagine!
These two artists, who started their journeys under the same company, are now writing their own love stories, proving that destiny sometimes works in the most magical ways.
From label mates to soulmates, they’ve taken the plunge, and the proposal itself was nothing short of a breathtaking spectacle, theygossip.com reports!!
Picture this: A vast field covered in pink flowers sways gently in the breeze, with a grand castle towering in the background.
In the middle of it all, Tao 31 and Xu Yiyang 26 stand on a beautifully decorated stage, surrounded by blooming petals.
As the soft golden light filters through, Tao suddenly drops to one knee, the castle behind him glistening like a fairytale backdrop.
With pure emotion in his eyes, he begins to pour his heart out, expressing his love and devotion, while the pink flowers flutter around them like a blessing from nature itself.

Tao’s Emotional Proposal
With pure sincerity in his voice, Tao says, “I think since we met till this moment, it’s already destined that you’ll be the one who will accompany me till the end of the future. In this world, in this life, for every day, every moment, every night—the person I want is you. I dare to marry you, do you dare to agree?”
And just like in every good love story, Xu Yiyang replies with a beaming smile, “Yes, I dare to.”
Oh and I almost forgot the proposal happened on national TV for everyone to see, it was during the ‘Dare or Not’ Variety show.

Their Social Media Posts About One Another
They don’t post much about one another.
I have gone through Zitao’s Instagram account and there is only one post of them together in one frame and that is about it.
As for Xu Yiyang’s Instagram account, there are only posts of here, no Tao to be seen anywhere.

The only time they posted together other than that one post on Zitao’s Instagram was when they went official with their relationship.
