Fans of EXO and Girls’ Generation may have known that Baekhyun and Taeyeon have been dating for months, according to local news reports. 

Some fans claim that it is no surprise that the idols are an item, eagerly posting photos of the two wearing the same bracelets, headphones and sunglasses.

There have also been numerous firsthand accounts online about the alleged couple being sighted together on dates. 

Earlier in the day, the rumor surfaced that Taeyeon and Baekhyun have been dating for four months.

The news broke after the Korean online entertainment news outlet Dispatch unveiled photos of the two in a car, supposedly on a date, that were taken around dawn near EXO’s accommodations in Seoul. 

According to the news reports, Taeyeon headed to Baekhyun’s dormitory, located in eastern Seoul, at 2 a.m. to pick him up. They parked the car on a side road, where the alleged couple enjoyed time together. 

“Baekhyun has said that Taeyeon was his ideal type, and Taeyeon found him cute. At the end of last year, they confessed their feelings to each other and started a romantic relationship in February this year,” a source familiar with the two was quoted as saying. 

The two idol stars have yet to confirm the rumor.
