Singer Huang Zitao (also known as Z. Tao) has finally ended doubts about a comeback after a two-month absence. Tao, who was with boy band EXO, unveiled the cover of his coming solo mini album, “Z. Tao Comeback,” on his Twitter page Monday.
Although S.M. Entertainment still denies that Tao has officially left EXO, Tao and his father announced in early May the singer’s move to Los Angeles to pursue his studies. Tao’s father had already expressed concern about Tao’s participation in EXO in mid-April due to an ankle injury that prevented him from performing in promotions for the band’s album “Exodus.” On May 29, the company released a statement about Tao’s standing in EXO, saying “negotiations were still being made.”
Despite S.M.’s denial, representatives from Tao’s recently created one-man agency said on the day of the Twitter post: “Huang Z. Tao will officially be making a comeback as a solo artist with his first mini album. Please look forward to it.”
