Lee Min-ho Denies Dating Rumors with 2NE1’s Park Bom
In recent days, the South Korean entertainment industry has been loud with rumors suggesting a romantic relationship between actor Lee Min-ho and Park Bom, a member of the K-pop group 2NE1. These speculations started after Park Bom shared multiple social media posts referring to Lee Min-ho as her “husband.”
The rumors began in September 2024, when Park Bom posted photos of Lee Min-ho on her social media accounts, captioning them with phrases like “my husband.” These posts naturally led fans and the media to speculate about a possible relationship between the two celebrities.
The situation escalated in February 2025, when Park Bom, through a secondary account, reiterated her claims by stating, “He really is my husband.” Although these posts were subsequently deleted, the noise they generated continued to grow.
In response to the mounting speculation, Lee Min-ho’s agency, MYM Entertainment, issued an official statement on February 20, 2025, to address the rumors. The agency clarified, “He is not personally acquainted with Park Bom, so these [rumors] are baseless.”
Adding another layer to the narrative, Park Bom made a subsequent post stating, “I’m actually alone. Lee Min-ho asked me to post it, but I’m single.” This statement further fueled the controversy and left fans puzzled about the true nature of their relationship.
