Lee Min-ho’s agency clarified that he is not romantically involved with K-pop star Park Bom of 2NE1, who has been claiming in several social media posts that the actor is supposedly her “husband.”
Park first shared a photo of Lee on her Instagram page back in September, adding the caption “Truly, my husband.” At the time, Park’s talent agency, D-Nation Entertainment, explained that she was just a fan who expressed her admiration for Lee.
However, Park made two separate social media posts this February insisting that Lee is “really [her] husband.” One of her posts even included a stitched photo of her and Lee. Park’s posts have already been removed from her page.

Responding to the speculations involving its artist, MYM Entertainment said, “[Lee Min-ho] is not personally acquainted with Park Bom, so these [rumors] are baseless.”
Park’s claims also drew criticisms from 2NE1 fans, particularly from the 2NE1 Gallery Fan Union, who demanded her exclusion from the girl group’s activities.
“Park Bom’s continuous social media controversies, along with her repeated unprofessional attitude during tours cannot be justified by health reasons alone,” the group said in a statement, as reported by The Korea Herald.
“While one mistake can be forgiven, her recurring unpredictable actions not only betray the 2NE1 members and fans who have supported her for over a decade but also significantly damage the group’s reputation,” it further added.
Park has yet to make a statement on the matter as of this writing.
