On February 20, Lee Min-ho’s agency MYM Entertainment stated to MyDaily, “Lee Min-ho has no personal connection with Park Bom. The rumors are completely unfounded.”
2NE1’s Park Bom officially put an end to the “self-dating rumors” involving actor Lee Min-ho.
On the same day, Park Bom addressed the controversy through her secondary SNS account, writing, “Dear beloved fans, hello. This is Park Bom. The truth is, I am alone.” She continued “I posted it because Lee Min-ho asked me to. I’m clarifying that I am single. Have a great day“, putting an end to the speculation.
Since last September, Park Bom had been referring to Lee Min-ho as “my husband” on SNS, fueling self-created dating rumors.
Regarding this, her agency explained, “Park Bom became infatuated with Lee Min-ho after watching SBS’ drama ‘The Heirs’ and posted about it. It holds no special meaning beyond being a display of fan admiration.” They attempted to dismiss it as a minor incident, but Park Bom continued to post edited photos of herself with Lee Min-ho, reigniting the controversy.
On February 19, she stirred further buzz by creating a third backup account, where she wrote, “I posted it because it’s all true. I will work hard on 2NE1’s activities.” This led to growing concerns among some fans, with a few even releasing statements calling for her removal from group promotions.
Meanwhile, Lee Min-ho is currently starring in tvN’s drama “When the Stars Gossip”. 2NE1 is set to hold an encore concert at KSPO Dome in Seoul this April.
