Lee Min Ho's agency has firmly denied any connection between the actor and singer Park Bom following a series of social media posts by the former 2NE1 member, in which she repeatedly referred to him as her "husband." On February 20, MYM Entertainment released a statement refuting the claims, stating, "He is not personally acquainted with Park Bom, so these [rumors] are baseless."
The speculation began in September when Park Bom posted a photo of Lee Min Ho on her Instagram with the caption, "true husband." While her agency quickly clarified at the time that it was merely an expression of admiration as a fan, the controversy reignited in February after she made similar claims on additional Instagram accounts. In new posts, Park Bom asserted, "He is my husband" and even shared a photoshopped image of herself next to the actor.
Adding to the confusion, Park Bom later posted a statement saying, "Actually, I'm single. I posted this because Lee Min Ho asked me to. Just wanted to clarify that I'm single." The cryptic message prompted Lee Min Ho's agency to issue an official response to put an end to the rumors.
Park Bom's repeated social media activity has led to divided reactions among fans. While some have dismissed it as harmless fan behavior, others have expressed concern over her well-being and have called for better management of the singer. Some fans have even urged her to take a break from the ongoing 2NE1 tour rather than engaging in such public interactions.
Her agency has defended her actions, stating that she had recently been watching The Heirs, a drama in which Lee Min Ho plays the lead role, and that her posts were simply a reflection of her admiration for his character. However, the singer's persistence in making such claims, even after her agency deleted her posts, has kept speculation alive.
Lee Min Ho, widely recognized for his roles in Boys Over Flowers, The Heirs, and Pachinko, has largely remained silent on the matter until now. His latest project, When the Stars Gossip, a space romance drama co-starring Gong Hyo Jin, continues to attract attention, further solidifying his global popularity.
