Please don't stop shipping Taohun though, everyone :( We all know that their interactions are real (as I've complicatedly explained and described in my previous post). Perhaps there will be media outlets of them to promote the pair...that's just to give us some more to spazz about or to put as our desktop wallpaper (if an official picture, etc), not to make Taohun fake. Keep in mind that fancams/fan-noticed interactions are probably real genuine interactions!

You guys are making me depressed as to I hate fanservice pairing. I know Taohun, from the beginning, has never done it for fanservice. I honestly feel like whatever interaction that came from them was from the bottom of their hearts. Because if you think about it, not many notice Taohun until the Idol Olympic day when they were all over each other. But then, even before that, they have always been that close. It's just because of separation that didn't allow them the opportunities. They are the close pairing of M & K. Also, the whole hunhan thing probably got them overshadowed for a long time. You're right, SM is probably thinking of pushing them to the front line now without them even knowing about it. Because if they know about it, they would start feeling conscious and their interactions will feel less genuine. I think he is targeting them to make them the "it" couple like how he does it to Taeny. Like both Taeny and Taohun are close from the beginning but with SM promotion, they will be noticed even more. Please, SM leave them alone! Don't ruin Taohun for me. I love them the way they are and just let us spot their moments instead of sharing them to everyone.
I don't think they are exactly promoted. They seems to be genuine…since the manager doesn't ship Taohun anyway:

I kind of doubt that SM is promoting them and they are just doing fan service….if SM is promoting them, why would Sehun say that Tao is not attractive without makeup(in a playful way though) or why would Sehun say that Tao's crying is ugly/Tao cries the most (something along those lines) in Episode 4 (er, the Christmas one)? I don't think SM would allow that if Taohun was promoted. Tao looked embarrassed, meaning that their interaction is real and they are truly close, teasing and being playful. I've never really seen Sehun and Luhan ever talk to each other or mock each other, etc, on stage, so it's obvious HunHan is not close…and are so unreal SM cannot promote them anymore.
Why would SM promote Taohun, anyway? Tao is not popular in Korea nor in OneHallyu, so where's SM's purpose? SM promoted HunHan in the first place because Sehun is Exo K's visual (remember that time when Kai was considered the face and Sehun the visual) and Luhan the M's visual. Even during Exo's first ISAC, which was near the MAMA era when HunHan was still largely promoted, Taohun had had interactions already. Unless SM is promoting them because they are friends. So, case closed: Taohun is real, promoted or not promoted. :D
Taohun is not the only popular ship of Tao…Tao ships in general are getting popular, for example, BaekTao and Sutao. If Taohun is being promoted, then isn't Sutao promoted too? There are more Sutao and Baektao interactions in Showtime than Taohun, so is SM's new bias Tao now? Is SM actually shipping Tao with everyone? Not to mention the extreme Taoris in Episode 7. I personally think the trip to Qingdao was not a fan service thing…I don't think Tao's dad (he was there) would've approved when Sehun came to interrupt an important festival meant to be spent with the family, for solely fan service. SM wouldn't pull it that far by forcing Tao to take Sehun to his family…companies are not allowed to mess with families, I'm sure. The only thing I'm doubting about Taohun are their shopping trips and hang outs during the week. Wait, sorry, I don't doubt that either,on second thought. SM idols' free time is limited…very limited, actually. Why would SM force them to spend the whole week out together? Idols should have fun during their free time, and hang out with their closest friends. I searched every Exo otp '*otp* went shopping' and I couldn't find much from other otps…There was only one significant shopping trip of Hunhan, but with their manager. So, Taohun is not really promoted. Yet. Maybe SM sighed and finally gave up, because there are too much real Taohun interactions interrupting his Hunhan, and threw his Hunhan project away. Taohun might even be acting against SM's wishes. They are just not stopped,unlike before, now that Hunhan is abandoned. (Not bashing on Hunhan, btw.)
Getting off topic again. Anyway, maybe Taohun is just so real it looks like they are being promoted.

cr: cheolyans
they're so cute! the 2nd gif is too cute for words!! lol
Another version of that:

Yea, but most of the other pics of the other members were of them individually whereas Taohun had alot of pictures together as a pairing...I think they may have even had the most pictures of the bunch.
Anyways, in their case I think they're being pushed moreso because of their natural friendship and chemistry. I think they've picked up on the fact that that people like the pairing so they're probably just using it to their advantage. Like giving people what they wanna see kind of thing. And considering every SM group has the one main OTP people go cray over, I have a feeling that they're trying to make Taohun that pairing for EXO since the whole Hunhan thing was a bust and they have more to work with here.
Well, the thing with Taohun is that regardless of whether they're being promoted or not, they'd be attached to the hip anyways. So with them there isn't any kind of force because they both naturally like clinging on to each other. Plus I feel like given the fact that Tao is involved, it's safer to assume that anything they do isn't for fanservice bc it's Tao and he doesn't really ever do anything that he doesn't want to do. Everything is more genuine from him, and Sehun too actually. So the way I see it, I think it's more they're bringing Taohun's natural chemistry/relationship to the forefront and giving it attention without actually telling them to change their ways...know what I mean? Like they're probably just letting Taohun do as they've always done and not change a thing, but just put a spotlight on it so more people notice instead of just a few.
I have to say, it's working. I feel like everyday there's an explosion of new Taohun shippers because everyday there's something new ya know?
I have to agree. Taohun, although promoted, is more natural than Hunhan. Even before they're promoted, in the Wolf era for example, they'd had natural interactions. Luhan and Sehun aren't really the closest, hence the Hunhan ship did not work out. Xiuhan, however, seems real. I don't think SM supports Exo-M & Exo-M pairings, because they probably want interactions between K and M to join them together and gain more fans from both sides. Luhan has always been Xiumin's 'translater' during M's MAMA promotions in China, and they continued being good friends even though SM doesn't promote them (Luhan continued his promoted interactions with Sehun while still being really friendly to Xiumin). I don't think a lot of people accepted Xiuhan until recently, due to their previous obsession with Hunhan. Xiuhan, to me, seems real.Getting off topic. Anyway, Taohun seems real to me too. If Taohun really IS being fully promoted by SM, then that means SM is promoting Tao is almost every member in Exo + some in SHINee too. Like you mentioned, Tao is a really friendly person and likes to cling on to someone. He befriends and is comfortable with everyone (eg. Gongchan from B1A4, Vixx members, Minho...etc.) Tao and Sehun might really be good friends, since they are both the maknaes and might share the same interests. Tao, as we all know too, is very easy to read and expresses delight and distaste openly. I don't think he can bare hanging out with Sehun for a whole week if he doesn't like Sehun.-

Kids with kids
That's why they are interacting well and having fun. Tao and Sehun are so precious! -
A fan gave Tao a panda plushie with Sehun's face attached


The fans are so creative :D But it should've been a handsomer, non-derp pic of Sehun.

okay so i have to agree with those who are saying that their level of intimacy can pass off as romance and despite the culture in asia where I know guys are much much more normal about skinship than say, America. But I don't know, it's still too much. I ship them as Brotp but I can't deny that sometimes I get the vibe that they are ghei you know. But then you have those moments where Sehun and Tao would also do the same skinships like back hugging and stuffs to another member so it's realy confusing.
True...the culture is pretty different. But even if I do ship them romantically, I won't consider them gheii. I know it's not the correct way of shipping, but maybe I just don't want them to be ghei and want them for myself, shipping them romantically at the same time. Doesn't really make sense, does it?

Taohun is such a mystery to me. Somehow I don't think their status is as simple as "yes, they are dating" or "no, they are just best friends". It's hard to tell because they live in a completely different culture from mine, have a completely different life from an ordinary person and have to deal with experiences most people don't go through. If they have something going on, I don't think it's official because I seriously doubt SM would be posting pictures of them together or that everybody in the group would accept it. Also I think Tao must be extremely paranoid of people finding out anything too personal about him after fans recorded him singing in the shower so if he does have feelings for Sehun, maybe he never acted upon them beyond what we've seen in public.
Anyway, IMO if there's any ship on EXO that could be real in the romantic sense it's them but I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out they are just really good friends.
Exactly! I think their 'hang outs' are a bit too suspicious...they are always spending time together outside, mostly just the two of them. Maybe the culture is different there, but here, dates are just like what Tao and Sehun did (shopping and watching movies and all that...for a whole week now). If they are girls, it's understandable, but guys...yep, it's a mystery to me as well.
But do you want them to be a romantic ship or a brotp? Brotp is cool too, and if they turn out to just be BFFs, I'll still ship them, because it's cute. It could've been a playdate their mom Suho planned.

When/how did you guys start shipping TaoHun? For me it was September last year when I started listening to exo, I remember watching fancams from the idol olympics with Tao and Sehun and from that moment on I've been shipping them.
I've always kind of 'shipped' them since they're both maknaes. I'm not sure why, but I just think two maknaes together would be really cute. That happened within the month I started to like Exo, after I watched some interviews and variety shows. Later, since I like both Tao and Sehun, I didn't mind watching a fancam with both of them in it. So I watched this fancam...exactly this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSAzYHuGgWk
It is where Tao back-hugged Sehun in isac. Exactly this--

And then, bam, I started shipping Taohun.

There's also a lot of Taobaek moments :D -
Read this post about Huang Zitao if you want to understand and appreciate who he is and what he has accomplished. It gave me massive feels. I tried posting it here but the number of images was too high.
Ohhhhh it's such a good read thanks for sharing it!! It's kinda cheesy in some parts of it, but everything is so true :D Are there more posts like that?

Do you think Tao's wushu is underrated? I mean, of course there are many other members and it's not fair to give him too much spotlight, but it's just that wushu is so much more and I'm pretty sure he can do much more (since he trained for more than 10 years and had wushu awards).
Look at the video…it's more complicated than Tao's choreography, but I've seen Tao do most of those techniques. Tao probably can do that as well; it's just not shown yet.
