SHINee’s Taemin has addressed the dating rumors involving dancer Noze:
Did you sleep well?
Have you been going through a tough time lately? I’m so sorry and apologetic that fans love me so much despite everything…
The love I receive from fans, from my family, from pets—there are so many different forms of love. I think all those experiences have shaped who I am today as Taemin. That’s why I draw so much inspiration from dancing and music, and I’m able to pass that inspiration on to someone else again. That’s how this chain of connection flows naturally.
But at times, I’ve been deeply hurt by misunderstandings caused by short, blunt words. I’ve thought a lot about how to convey the truth, but even a single word can trigger new misunderstandings and lead to yet another explanation…
It’s not always the case, but often people want to hear the answer they wish for rather than the truth. So, from a young age, I’ve been through a lot, and I’ve learned to be careful with my words.
One thing I know for sure is that I hope you’ll continue to believe in me as you do now, and I’m always grateful and loving toward my fans who trust me.
I’ll do my best to repay the love and support you’ve given me, despite any misunderstandings.
What does it mean? Is he denying it or confirming it?
Comments on Pann:
- It sounds like he’s not outright denying it, but is still saying “come to the concert.”
- Can’t make sense of it at all. What is he even saying?
- Is he avoiding the question??
- I think he’s saying something like: “The various forms of love I’ve experienced have shaped who I am now, so even if I’m dating, it won’t affect my career or my love for fans. Please keep trusting and staying with me.”
- Is the part about “inspiring someone else” referring to Noze…? There’s a time to be vague, and this isn’t it. This kind of roundabout statement is even more frustrating. What are we supposed to believe in here? He should’ve just said “Yes, I’m dating. Please support us.”
- That’s not a clarification—it’s begging. He’s basically saying, “No matter what I do, keep being my fan.” How pathetic. So is he admitting it or not? He’s just dodging the point and rambling around it.
