After weeks of silence, actor Lee Min-ho has officially addressed the self-proclaimed dating rumors initiated by 2NE1's Park Bom, firmly denying any personal connection with her.

On February 20, Lee Min-ho's agency released a brief but definitive statement to SPOTV News, stating, "There is no personal relationship between Lee Min-ho and Park Bom, and the rumors are completely false."

Park Bom has repeatedly fueled speculation over a supposed relationship with Lee Min-ho by posting edited images of the actor alongside herself on social media, frequently referring to him as "my husband."

The controversy first began in September last year when Park Bom shared a photo of Lee Min-ho, captioning it "My true husband." At the time, her agency dismissed the claims as nothing more than admiration from a fan. However, on February 12, Park Bom reignited the rumors by once again uploading an edited photo of herself with Lee Min-ho on a secondary account, captioned with "My husband ♥"

Though she briefly deleted the post, she repeated the act on February 15, writing, "He really is my husband." Most recently, on February 19, she insisted, "I wrote it because it's all true."

Her erratic posts took another turn on February 20 when she launched yet another secondary account and wrote, "Hello, my dear fans. I am Park Bom. I am actually alone. Lee Min-ho asked me to post it, but I am clarifying that I am single. Have a great day." This contradictory statement further confused fans, fueling more speculation.

Park Bom's agency has continued to distance itself from the situation, stating, "We cannot verify personal social media activity, as it is a private space for the artist." However, they reiterated, "From what we understood regarding previous incidents, this appears to be nothing more than fan admiration."

Lee Min-ho's firm denial has now put an official end to the speculation, making it clear that no relationship exists between the two.
