Former 2NE1 member Park Bom has once again drawn public attention by tagging actor Lee Min-ho in a social media post, reigniting concerns among fans about her well-being. The singer, who is currently on a health-related hiatus from group activities, shared photos on September 14, 2025, with a caption that included Lee Min-hoโs name, leading to renewed discussions about her past behavior toward the actor. This incident echoes similar occurrences from late 2024 and early 2025, during which Park Bom repeatedly referred to Lee Min-ho as her “husband,” despite firm denials from both his agency and her own.
The post, which features Park Bom on a casual stroll, was accompanied by the text: “Park Bom โฅ On the streetโฆ #ParkBom #bompark #LeeMinHo #bomparkelizabeth.” While the images themselves show the singer looking calm and smiling, the inclusion of Lee Min-hoโs hashtag quickly shifted focus from her appearance to her well-publicized history of expressing admiration for the actor. This has left many fans worried about her current state, especially given her recent step back from the spotlight due to health issues.
Background of the Park Bom and Lee Min-ho Rumors
The ongoing situation between Park Bom and Lee Min-ho began in September 2024, when the singer first posted a photo of the actor on her social media account with the caption, “Truly, my husband.” This initial post sparked dating rumors, but her agency was quick to dismiss it as nothing more than an expression of fandom. However, Park Bom continued to make similar claims over the following months, even creating a secondary account at one point to share more photos of herself alongside Lee Min-ho with the same “husband” label.
In February 2025, matters came to a head when Lee Min-hoโs agency issued an official statement denying any personal relationship with Park Bom. The statement clarified that the actor had “no personal connection” with her and that the rumors were entirely groundless. Around the same time, Park Bom made contradictory remarks, at one point stating she was single but also suggesting that Lee Min-ho had asked her to post the claims. This back-and-forth only added to the confusion and concern among observers.
Lee Min-hoโs agency stated: “He has no personal acquaintance with Park Bom, and the dating rumors are groundless.”
Despite the denials, Park Bom occasionally continued to mention Lee Min-ho in interactions with fans, keeping the rumors alive in the public eye. Her recent post marks the first time in seven months that she has directly tagged the actor, bringing the issue back into the entertainment headlines.
Park Bom’s Current Hiatus and Health Concerns
Park Bomโs recent social media activity comes amid a temporary hiatus from her activities with 2NE1. In August 2025, her agency, D-Nation, announced that she would be stepping away from the groupโs promotions due to health reasons. The agency cited medical advice indicating that Park Bom needed “sufficient rest and stability,” leading to the decision to pause her professional commitments. As a result, 2NE1 has been continuing their activities as a trio, consisting of CL, Dara, and Minzy.
The singerโs health challenges have been a point of concern for some time. Earlier this year, her behavior on social media had already prompted questions from fans about her well-being. The recent post tagging Lee Min-ho has only amplified these concerns, with many followers leaving comments such as, “Is her health really okay?” and “This looks worrying.”
Fan Reactions and Industry Response
The response from fans has been mixed but largely dominated by worry. While some supporters have expressed understanding, noting that Park Bomโs actions may stem from extreme admiration rather than malice, others have been more critical. In fact, earlier this year, the 2NE1 Gallery Fan Union released an official statement calling for Park Bomโs exclusion from the groupโs activities, citing her “continuous social media controversies” and “unprofessional attitude.”
The unionโs statement emphasized that her actions not only betrayed the trust of the groupโs members and long-time fans but also damaged 2NE1โs reputation. Additionally, the statement included an apology to Lee Min-ho and his fans for the unintended consequences of Park Bomโs posts.
On the industry side, Lee Min-hoโs representatives have maintained a consistent stance, reiterating that the actor remains focused on his acting projects and is unaffected by the rumors. Park Bomโs agency, meanwhile, has repeatedly attributed her posts to fandom, though the singer herself has occasionally contradicted this explanation.
The Bigger Picture: When Fandom Becomes Controversy
This situation highlights the fine line between enthusiastic fandom and problematic behavior in the age of social media. Park Bomโs actions, while dismissed by her agency as harmless fan devotion, have had real-world consequences, including public denials from Lee Min-hoโs team and concern from her own fanbase. It also underscores the challenges faced by public figures in managing their personal and professional lives under intense scrutiny.
For Park Bom, who has been open about her health struggles in the past, the pressure of public life appears to have taken a toll. Her decision to take a hiatus suggests a need for space and recovery, making her recent social media activity all the more puzzling to observers.
As of now, there has been no new statement from either Park Bomโs agency or Lee Min-hoโs team regarding the latest post. However, given the history of this situation, it is likely that the public and media will continue to monitor any further developments closely.
