Korean actor Lee Min-ho, who is currently starring in the Netflix drama When the Stars Gossip, has denied rumors that he is dating Park Bom, a member of the K-pop group 2NE1. The rumors began after Park Bom shared photos of Lee on her social media last September, calling him “my husband,” which drew attention from the public. In February, Park continued to refer to him as her husband on a secondary account, posting messages such as “He really is my husband.” Despite the posts being deleted, she stood by her claims, leading to further speculation.
Park Bom later addressed the situation by writing, “I posted it because it’s true. Thank you for your interest, and I’ll continue to do my best with 2NE1.” However, her agency clarified that she was merely expressing her admiration for Lee’s performance in The Heirs (2013), and her repeated statements confused many fans and followers. On February 18, Park Bom said, “I’m actually alone. Lee Min-ho asked me to post it, but I’m single,” adding another twist to the ongoing saga.
In response to the growing rumors, Lee Min-ho’s agency, MYM Entertainment, issued a statement on February 21 to clarify the situation. The agency firmly stated, “Lee Min-ho has no personal connection with Park Bom, so the rumors are groundless.” The statement was meant to put an end to the speculation and confirm that there was no romantic relationship between the two.
Park Bom is currently touring with the other members of 2NE1—Sandara Park, CL, and Gong Minzy—on their “2024-25 2NE1 Concert: Welcome Back” tour. The tour began in Seoul last October and has since taken the group to various cities across Asia, where they have continued to receive enthusiastic support from their fans. Despite the rumors surrounding her, Park Bom remains focused on her career and her work with 2NE1.
