The news of Tao's own studio or workshop has been stirring up much attention, so naturally, SM Entertainment was contacted for any information or updates they may have. 

The agency remained vague, stating, "We heard the news about his workshop, we're currently continuing to negotiate towards a progressive direction."

As mentioned before, the workshop called 'Huang Z. TAO Studio' set up an official Weibo and indicated that news about Tao will be updated through the account. Tao's father and Tao's accounts were affiliated with this new Weibo account, which seemed to indicate that this studio is for the management of Tao's individual activities in China.
