Former EXO Member Tao to Wed Ex-SM Rookie Xu Yiyang in Lavish October Ceremony

Former EXO member Tao (Huang Zitao) and former SM Rookies trainee-turned-actress Xu Yiyang have registered their marriage and will celebrate with a lavish wedding in October.

According to local media outlets such as Sina Entertainment on the 11th, Tao personally revealed during a recent variety show recording, “Xu Yiyang and I will be holding our wedding ceremony this October.”

The couple is reportedly planning a glamorous celebration, with attention turning to their potential guest list. Fans are especially curious whether Tao’s former EXO bandmates will attend the celebration. In particular, Tao is known to maintain a close friendship with former EXO member Luhan, making his attendance highly anticipated.

Tao and Xu Yiyang have been surrounded by dating rumors since 2020. In July last year, after four years of speculation, Tao publicly acknowledged their relationship, making headlines with the announcement.

In December last year, the couple shared news of their marriage registration. Tao surprised fans by posting on his official account, writing “Goal achieved” and revealing that he and Xu Yiyang had become husband and wife, sharing a photo of them holding their marriage certificate.




On New Year’s Day in January, Tao also posted several photos on his personal account with the message “Happy new year.” The images showed Tao and Xu Yiyang sitting together in a car and singing on stage side by side, capturing their close bond.

Tao debuted as a member of EXO in 2012, but left the group in April 2015 and has since focused his career in the Greater China region.

In April, Tao made headlines in China after watching a consumer exposé program that revealed a company was reselling sanitary pads meant for disposal at low prices. Outraged by the scandal, Tao launched his own sanitary pad brand, Duowei, stepping into the business world and drawing significant attention.

Following the launch, Tao hosted a live broadcast and sold 450,000 boxes in just 30 minutes, generating 22.5 million yuan (approx. KRW 3.5 billion).

Xu Yiyang first gained public attention in 2016 as a trainee with SM Entertainment’s ‘SM Rookies.’ She has since built a career as a singer and actress in China.
