EXO Lay's Dating Rumor with Chinese Actress Yang Zi
Back in January 2021, the internet went into a state of confusion after rumors of Lay reportedly dating one of China's most popular actresses, Yang Zi, also known as Andy Yang, surfaced online and quickly spread to other social media platforms.
The rumors were sparked on January 22 when a netizen on China's largest social media platform, Weibo, had suggested that the internet would go into a total frenzy if a popular Chinese female celebrity with a two-character name, and an equally popular male celebrity with a three-character name, were to date or reveal their relationship publicly.

Although the netizen did not explicitly say who these two popular celebrities could be, numerous netizens who caught up on the rumor began making their own speculations. Later, one netizen who was doing research regarding the rumor claimed that the two Chinese stars are Lay and Yang Zi.
The dating rumor of the two then got caught in the radar of Korean and international K-Pop fans, who were equally confused with the rumor as other than invitations to official events, Lay and Yang Zi have never worked on a project together or have any public interactions that could spark a dating rumor between them.
