2PM member Taecyeon has shut down rumors of marriage swirling around him. His agency, 51K, firmly stated, "The marriage rumors are baseless," and clarified that the recent photo of Taecyeon with his girlfriend was simply taken to celebrate her birthday. Notably, his girlfriend is not a public figure, and the unplanned leak of the photo caught them off guard.

Earlier on the same day, speculations arose on an online community alleging Taecyeon had married in secret last year. This was fueled by photos supposedly taken in Paris, depicting a romantic scene where Taecyeon appeared to be proposing to his girlfriend. However, the validity of these claims was thrown into doubt when the photographer who posted the images in April 2023 later removed them.

Taecyeon had publicly acknowledged his relationship with his non-celebrity girlfriend back in 2020, assuring fans through a heartfelt social media post. The couple has since been open about their relationship, frequently seen together and receiving immense support from their fans.

On the professional front, Taecyeon's recent role as pastry chef Rick Yuan in the Japanese film 'Grand Maison Paris' has been a major hit, drawing over 2.16 million viewers in its fourth week. Additionally, he is gearing up to connect with his Korean fans at the upcoming Valentine's Day fan event, 'SweeTY OKCAT's Happy Valentine's Day', scheduled on February 15th and 16th at Ilchi Art Hall in Seoul.
