[theqoo] 2NE1 PARK BOM, CLARIFIES DATING RUMORS WITH LEE MINHO "NOT SELF-PROCLAIMED... LEE MINHO SAID WE WERE DATING"
Girl group 2NE1’s Park Bom has once again spoken out regarding her self-made dating rumor involving actor Lee Minho.
On the 21st, Park Bom posted on her personal SNS, saying, “Someone keeps deleting it. I’m alone. There’s nothing going on.” However, she added, “It wasn’t self-made. Lee Minho told me to write it. I’ll just focus on my work,” leaving fans even more confused with her contradictory statements.
Park Bom’s strange behavior regarding Lee Min-ho has been ongoing since last year. In September, she fueled the dating rumor by posting a screenshot from Lee Min-ho’s live broadcast along with the caption, “Seriously, my husband.” On the 12th and 15th of this month, she continued to post photos of Lee Minho with captions like “My husband” and “Again, my husband.”
During this time, when asked by fans if she was serious, she replied, “Yes.” She also claimed that her company was deleting her posts and warned that she would block anyone who commented to criticize her.
On the 19th, she wrote on SNS, “I’m working hard. (The dating rumor with Lee Minho) is true, that’s why I wrote it. I’ll do my best with 2NE1. Thank you for your interest.” Then, on the 20th, she posted, “Actually, I’m alone. Lee Minho asked me to post it, but I’m clarifying that I’m single.”
After nearly six months of silence, Lee Minho’s side has finally responded. On the 20th, his agency MYM Entertainment told Ilgan Sports, “Lee Minho has no personal connection with Park Bom, and the dating rumor is completely false.”
Meanwhile, Park Bom’s agency has essentially stepped away from the issue. When the controversy first arose, a representative stated, “SNS is a private space, so we cannot verify anything.” Additionally, on the 16th, a fan union from the 2NE1 gallery released a statement, saying, “We can no longer tolerate Park Bom’s reckless behavior. We demand her exclusion from official activities.”
Despite the controversy, Park Bom departed for Macau on the 21st for her 15th-anniversary Asia tour.

1. Put her in a hospital
2. Is she a mythomaniac?
3. If I was Lee Minho, I would've already sued, f*ck. This hasn't happened just once or twice. What kind of nuisance is this?
4. Would people react this way if she was a male idol?
5. No but I don't think that she can go on tour in this condition though.... What the agency should be doing is persuading her to get medical treatment. How does it make sense for her to go abroad when everyone sees this as a mental health issue? Aside from a few international fans, even her own fans are all worried.
6. What is her company doing? She needs some counselling
7. The people around her need to take care of her
8. If she's going on tour, this will follow her around. Does she not feel bad?
9. No but this is severe...? She seems mentally ill...
10. What is her family doing...
