On September 27, fans were left bewildered as 2NE1 member Park Bom shared a shocking Instagram post (which is now deleted as of writing) featuring the popular South Korean actor Lee Minho. The uploaded photo with Bom alongside Lee Minho looks like a screenshot from a video call, which immediately sparked dating rumors about the two. Seeing the actor in Bom's post is random enough, and to top it off, she captioned it with the intriguing words "Husband for real.".
The photo was posted randomly and without any context, and later on, Bom added the hashtags #LeeMinHo #ParkBom, seemingly confirming that the guy in the picture is indeed the actor. Bom's post immediately piqued the interest of the netizens, with talks about whether the two were dating or it was simply a fan-idol admiration, or if her account had been hacked.
Fans also discovered previous interviews of Park Bom where she mentioned her ideal type, "..someone tall and handsome like Lee Minho and Kim Woobin.". These caused more talks about the possible relationship between the two.
- Whattt...
- I wonder what's her intention behind this? Is it just a playful comment or more like a sarcastic remark? Did she really post this herself?
- It'd be better to remove that post...
- Lee Minho is dating. What is she gonna do?
- So there's no possibility that she was hacked? She usually leaves hashtags though
- Is there nobody looking after her.......
- Is that really Park Bom...? Her facial features look way too artificial, maybe that's whyㅠㅠ
- If you remember Park Bom's old aesthetics, you'll understand
- I think that she just posted as a fan. I don't think it's weird
- Park Bom has always had that 4D image though.
If my queen Park Bom says that Lee Minho is her husband, then Lee Minho is her husband😌

Park Bom really don't give a fuss about other people's opinions cuz instead of actually posting her official HD pictures from her recent fan-meet in Vietnam, she decided to post her unhinged collaged pic with Lee Minho. 🤣

Later on, Park Bom's agency addressed the dating rumors which immediately gave fans their dose of reality. They explained that it was indeed posted in admiration for the actor; Bom and Lee Minho are not in any relationship and that she is just a long-time fan of the actor. The post was a reference to Lee Minho's character in the drama 'The Heirs', which Park Bom has been watching recently.
Meanwhile, Park Bom's group 2NE1 will officially kick off their 15th-anniversary activities with a 3-day concert in Seoul - '2NE1 [WELCOME BACK] IN SEOUL' from October 4-6, 2024. The group will continue their world tour with stops in Japan, Manila, Jakarta, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taipei, and Bangkok.
Lee Minho, on the other hand, is currently starring in the Apple TV+ series 'Pachinko'. He is also preparing for his next projects— a drama entitled 'Ask The Stars' and a movie called 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint'.
