On February 20, MYM Entertainment, the agency representing actor Lee Min Ho, addressed and denied the dating rumors circling around former 2NE1 member Park Bom.
A spokesperson from MYM Entertainment informed Star News, "Lee Min Ho and Park Bom do not have any personal relationship. The speculations of them dating are completely baseless."
The dating rumors emerged after Park Bom referred to Lee Min Ho as "my husband" in multiple social media posts over the past year, sparking curiosity about a potential romantic involvement. Following the escalation of rumors, Park Bom removed the posts but later reiterated her feelings of a special bond with the actor.
In two recent social media updates on February 12 and 15, Park Bom boldly stated, "He is my husband," and "I love you all," affirming her position as Lee Min Ho’s wife. In response to this, Park Bom’s representatives explained, "She was engrossed in watching the drama 'The Heirs' and felt a connection to Lee Min Ho’s character. The posts were impromptu and not motivated by any specific reason—it was an unexpected turn of events."
Nevertheless, on February 19, Park Bom created a separate online account and proclaimed, "I shared my true feelings. I will continue dedicating myself to 2NE1 activities. Thank you for your attention."
In the midst of the ongoing speculations, Park Bom revisited her social media platform on February 20 to clarify, "I am currently single," thus debunking any romantic affiliations with Lee Min Ho. Additionally, she disclosed, "The messages were posted at Lee Min Ho's request. I affirm that I am unattached."
The unfolding scenario has sparked intense conversations among fans, with MYM Entertainment adamantly dismissing all assertions of a relationship between the two stars.
Concurrently, concerned netizens have expressed support and empathy, sharing comments like:
"Immediate intervention is necessary."
