Huang Zitao, known better as Tao, debuted as a member of EXO in 2012. In 2015, he sued SM Entertainment, claiming that the agency mistreated him. The lawsuit continued for 3 years, and in 2018, he finally left the K-pop group, followed by his fellow Chinese members Luhan and Kris Wu. Then he launched his own company in China. He debuted as a soloist and an actor under his new stage name, Z.Tao.

On the other hand, his wife Xu Yi Yang was a SM Entertainment trainee from 2016 to 2018. She was also part of the pre-debut ensemble SMROOKIES. After leaving the company, she joined Tao's agency in China. The next year, she debuted with the Chinese group Legal High. But after it disbanded in 2020, she kickstarted her career as a soloist and actress.
