NEWBEAT’s Taeyang Draws Attention Over Alleged Public Date Photos

NEWBEAT member Taeyang has become a topic of discussion after photos allegedly showing him on a public date with a woman appeared online. The images were reported to show the pair at Hyundai Department Store Pangyo and in other street locations. Their relationship has not been confirmed in the source material.

In the photos, Taeyang was reportedly seen with his arm around the woman’s shoulders and touching her hair. He was also said to be without a mask, leaving his face visible. Some online commenters expressed surprise at how openly he appeared to spend time with the woman, while others said he should be able to date as long as he avoids causing harm or serious controversy.

The discussion also focused on Taeyang’s relatively recent debut with NEWBEAT under Beat Interactive in March 2025. He was introduced as a member of the group previously known as HinLOVE in August 2023. Taeyang is described as handling both vocal and rap roles, with a mid-range vocal tone. He and fellow member Choi Seo Hyun attended Mudoctor Academy.
