Huang, 31, is a former member of the K-pop boy band Exo and its Chinese sub-unit Exo-M.

The sub-unit’s former members include Kris Wu, who is currently serving a 13-year jail sentence for rape, and Lu Han.

Exo, one of SM Entertainment’s most successful groups, is known for hits such as Mama, Growl, History, Love Shot and many more.

Xu, 27, is a former trainee under South Korea’s SM Entertainment, which represents K-pop groups such as NCT, Shinee, Girls’ Generation, Red Velvet and Aespa, among others.

She joined Huang’s agency, L.Tao Entertainment, in 2018 and participated in the Chinese idol survival show Produce Camp 2020, where Huang served as one of the mentors.

While rumours of their relationship surfaced after the show, they did not confirm their status until July this year, when they went public on social media.

In August, Huang proposed to Xu during an episode of the Chinese reality travel show Dare Or Not.
