Included in the show’s line-up was Taichi, an idol trainee who appeared on Boys II Planet. 

Taichi was previously a JYP Entertainment trainee and competed in Nizi Project Season 2, but ultimately failed to debut through the show. He later joined Boy’s II Planet, but was eliminated in overall 95th place.

During the show, Taichi was not among the final couples, leaving some curiosity about his romantic life.

The star recently answered this question in a Q&A video posted to his new YouTube channel.

During the video, Taichi discussed a number of topics asked in questions, including clearly stating that he was gay, not bisexual and that even his parents knew before he was even able to understand.

The next question he answered was one he said was often asked about if he had a partner or not. Taichi answered honestly, saying that he did have a boyfriend and very sweetly described him. He added that if he had the chance to film a video with him he would.

That likely explains who is taking all the cute photos of Taichi on his Instagram account!
