Park Bom of the group 2NE1 has once again stirred up dating rumors by expressing her affection for actor Lee Min-ho on social media, marking her second ‘self-dating rumor’. As the controversy continued, Park Bom deleted the post.
On the 12th, Park Bom opened a secondary account and posted photos with the captions “My husband #LeeMinHo” and “Again, my husband♥ #LeeMinHo”. The photos shared were a selfie of Park Bom alongside a picture of Lee Min-ho.
Last year, Park Bom also referred to Lee Min-ho as her ‘true husband’, leading to similar dating rumors. At that time, Park Bom's side dismissed the rumors, stating it was “simply a display of fan affection,” but she has reignited the dating speculation with another similar post.
In response to the situation, Park Bom's agency cautiously stated to a media outlet, “In the case of personal accounts, it is difficult to confirm details as it is a private space,” but added, “However, based on the previous incident, we understand it to be a situation stemming from her fan affection for Lee Min-ho.”
As the controversy persisted, Park Bom deleted the post mentioning Lee Min-ho. However, following last year's incident, she has once again ignited dating rumors, prompting netizens to react with comments such as “She’s causing trouble for Lee Min-ho,” “She must really like him,” “It seems like she brings it up whenever we forget,” and “Lee Min-ho must be baffled.”
Meanwhile, the group 2NE1, to which Park Bom belongs, is currently on a 15th-anniversary Asia tour, which started with the ‘2024 2NE1 Concert Welcome Back’ held in Seoul last October, covering a total of 12 cities and 25 performances. An encore performance is scheduled to take place at the KSPO Dome in Olympic Park, Seoul, in April.
