Youngbae has a bae: Taeyang is dating Min Hyorin

[babyonions.livejournal.com]

K-pop singer Taeyang, from the wildly successful boy group Big Bang, is in a relationship with actress Min Hyo-rin, both of their agencies confirmed Tuesday.

Taeyang is believed to have started dating Min, who is two years older than him, in 2013.

Taeyang, 27, is signed on to talent agency YG Entertainment, while Min is signed on to JYP Entertainment -- two of the most powerful record labels in K-pop.

"Their relationship is already a well-known fact among K-pop idol singers," an unnamed friend of both stars told Yonhap News Agency on Tuesday.

"They are in quite a serious relationship," another singer close to Taeyang said, who declined to be named. "As far as I know, they’ve been together for the past two years. They suit each other in terms of their personality and appearance."

[torontok.livejournal.com]

Crying at that last sentence.But congrats to Tae for getting the pretty noona, she's brerathtaking. (which would explain his lives /s>)
How are VIPs taking it? I mean, I assume it's obvious by now that most of BB are dating

[babyonions.livejournal.com]

Everyone knew already, so good lol

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

This is actually a surprise

[kaninasan.livejournal.com]

Awwww cute

I'm glad he finally got a girl

It's amazing though if they've been together for 2 years and no one's caught them until now

yasssss

[djeedjes.livejournal.com]

isn't it a long time story?
I think they're cute together, and I'm happy if this gets confirmed.
So it will be 1st BB's relationship that acknowledged?

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

Wait, OP, if he has babies with her, what about my plans about having him and dae raise our WavesOfOnions babies?

[babyonions.livejournal.com]

Considering Dae is probably still with that Japanese gf, our plan was fucked from the start
Well, Seunghyuns will have to raise our kids, poor children

[audiograms.livejournal.com]

Finally confirmation! It was getting tiring his 'i've never had a girlfriend' schtick that he had going on

[dragondie.livejournal.com]

Aw, congrats to them, they look cute together.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Wasn't this confirmed long ago?

[psharp10.livejournal.com]

i think it was brought up last year when the 1am and ENL mvs came out but then those "rumors" had been denied, but tbh ever since then it had been sort of like an open secret (at least imo)

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

#everybodyknows

YG basically said we still ain't confirming it...until JYP gave them up lol

Their non answers remain the best

Hmm...should we believe the Dara/Kim Soo Hyun rumor too since she cameoed in his last two dramas?

[kaninasan.livejournal.com]

omg no Dara needs to stay away from that creep please

[velvetpocket.livejournal.com]

lol YG's statement cracks me up, they're always the best

[treaclyena.livejournal.com]

"It′s something to celebrate if he has a girlfriend because he′s never had one."

YG... we get it... just, stop...

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

srsly, it's embarrassing

[yakuniku-8.livejournal.com]

Aw I'm happy for them

[xoshio.livejournal.com]

people are saying it's to cover up the mers virus outbreak in korea?

[psharp10.livejournal.com]

hmm could be now that i think about it, there were some people recently quarantined here in china because they had been in contact with a korean who had mers and had come to china - it seems pretty possible now

[adlyeith.livejournal.com]

Awww, this is so cute! Congrats to the both of them, they look adorable together. I'm glad everyone seems to be taking this announcement well and are pretty calm about it (on LJ at least).

[0ddie13.livejournal.com]

No more forever alone comments for Bae! I'm happy someone is getting to enjoy Tae's body lol
But wow two years, must be serious. Congrats!

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

Well congrats to them! She's 2 years older than him? Wow she looks super young.

[merylsteep.livejournal.com]

They make a cute couple! I know they don't owe the public anything but it's quite a thrill to be revealing this.

[elementree.livejournal.com]

congrats! they look cute together~

ngl i had to google her because even though i heard their dating rumors before i had no idea who she was.

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

YESSSSS the title of this post and the get it gif in the comments give me lifeeeeeeee

now i can happily go to work

[5h0rtyy.livejournal.com]

I'm happy for them! They look cute together. Get it Bae <3

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Didn't everyone know about these two already? Anyhow I bet YG wouldn't have confirmed if JYP hadn't admitted the truth. Anyhow I love YG's non answers for dating rumours.

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

actually i think the time stamp goes that yg says oh it's nice if he has a gf, jyp says it's their private lives, then ceo yg is like they're dating yay!!! and jyp is like um i guess they're dating yay

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

I remember ENL was supposedly about breaking up with his ex-gf, does that mean they broke up at least once and got back together again or did the current gf star in a mv for a song about his ex-gf?

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

i doubt that, i remember him saying on sketchbook that he dated her for ~4 years and as far as i remember, wasn't min hyorin dating ftts hwanhee around that time?
not to mention it is awkward every way round :p
and wait, wasn't it assumed in that one rumour post on omona that they started dating after filming 1am?

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

If you guys actually believe he hasn't had a girlfriend or dated until now, that is some Bopper, Big Bopper, Teen Beat, Teen Heat, Tiger Beat delusion

This comment with Dean face has me keeled over...lmao.
