Giselle’s post was a sponsored one by the brand Loewe, for which Taeyong is also an ambassador for. Some fans dismissed it as a show of support for his fellow brand ambassador. After all, he has not liked any of her other posts thus far.

They’re both ambassadors, so it’s totally possible for him to like the post, you dummy.

I think he liked it because it’s Loewe.

On the other hand, Taeyong also liked a couple of other posts from female idols, namely Red Velvet.

Many defended him, claiming that it was an acceptable show of support as he is his hoobae from SM Entertainment.

It’s his company hoobae. What’s wrong about this?

Others dismissed any possibility of them dating, given that he used his public account.

This is not the first time that Instagram has sparked a debate amongst K-Pop fans. Previously, EXO‘s Suho admitted that he wanted to like BLACKPINK Jisoo‘s post, but was embarrassed to.
