On February 5th, captivating images of 2PM's Taecyeon down on one knee, presenting a Tiffany & Co. ring box to his girlfriend in front of the iconic Eiffel Tower background, took the internet by storm.

The stunning photos ignited speculations that the singer had secretly tied the knot with his girlfriend the previous year. However, Taecyeon's agency swiftly refuted these rumors by stating, "The marriage rumors are unfounded." Emphasizing, "It was merely a photo taken to celebrate his girlfriend’s birthday.
