Singer Park Bom has once again sparked controversy by creating a 'self-dating rumor' with actor Lee Min-ho. On the 15th, Park Bom posted a photo on her social media along with the caption, "He is my husband❤️." The photo included an edited image that appeared to place Lee Min-ho and Park Bom side by side, capturing the attention of netizens.
As soon as the post was released, netizens recalled the recent self-made dating rumor involving Lee Min-ho and reacted in various ways. Just a few days earlier, on the 12th, Park Bom had also uploaded an edited image of herself and Lee Min-ho with captions such as "My husband #bompark #박봄 #parkbom #2ne1bom #이민호 #minholee" and "Again, my husband." However, that post was soon deleted.
Following the incident, a representative from Park Bom's side stated, "This is just a simple misunderstanding." However, fans criticized the repeated incidents, with comments like, "It's happening too often to be just a misunderstanding," and "Isn't this a nuisance for Lee Min-ho?"
This is not the first time Park Bom has sparked such a rumor. Back in September last year, she posted a similar message, referring to Lee Min-ho as "Truly my husband♥." At that time, her agency explained, "Park Bom was just expressing her admiration as a fan after watching the drama The Heirs and getting immersed in Lee Min-ho's character."
Reactions among netizens remain divided. Some fans see it as a harmless joke, saying, "It can just be taken lightly." However, others argue, "Lee Min-ho has nothing to do with this, and it's uncomfortable to see him mentioned like this," and "At this point, an official apology seems necessary."
