As dating rumors between Lee Min Ho and 2NE1’s Park Bom continue to spread, the actor’s side has officially denied the claims, making it clear that there is no truth to them.

On February 20, Park Bom took to her secondary social media account and wrote, “Honestly, I’m alone. I posted it because Lee Min Ho asked me to, but I want to clarify that I’m single.”

This comes after months of self-initiated dating rumors. Since September last year, Park Bom has repeatedly posted photos of Lee Min Ho on social media, calling him “my husband” and suggesting they were in a relationship.

However, after her recent post claiming that “Lee Min Ho asked me to post it,” a representative from Lee Min Ho’s side finally responded, saying, “He has no personal connection with Park Bom, so the rumors are completely false”.

According to insiders, Lee Min Ho had initially chosen to stay silent, but Park Bom’s continuous claims reportedly crossed the line, leading to his official response.

Back in September, when Park Bom first posted about Lee Min Ho, her agency dismissed it as “just fan admiration.”

However, starting February 12, she repeatedly shared photos of the actor with captions like “My husband”. When a fan asked, “Is it for real?” she responded with “yes.”

She also expressed frustration, saying her agency kept deleting her posts, which only added fuel to the controversy.

Now, with Lee Min Ho officially shutting down the rumors, fans are watching closely to see how Park Bom will respond next.

Sunmi is caught up in controversy after the NFT project she promoted made billions of KRW—only to lose most of its value, leaving investors frustrated.

According to Kyunghyang Shinmun on February 21, Sunmi, her agency, and a KOSDAQ-listed company launched the NFT collection Sunmiya Club in February 2022.

The project used blockchain technology to verify ownership of digital assets, turning illustrations inspired by Sunmi’s career into NFTs. Buyers were promised exclusive services to increase their investment value.

Thanks to Sunmi’s strong promotion, the NFTs were a huge success at first, selling out and making billions of KRW.

However, things took a turn when the NFT market crashed due to the Terra-Luna crisis and the bankruptcy of the U.S. crypto exchange FTX in late 2022.

By 2023, Sunmiya Club had stalled, and the once high-value NFTs dropped to just tens of thousands of KRW.

As investors faced major losses, some turned their frustration toward Sunmi. In response, the company behind the project stated, “We have fully followed the roadmap announced at the beginning and have continued operations.

The funds raised from the NFTs were used for operational costs and investments in a new platform launched last year.”

Despite the company’s defense, many are still questioning what went wrong and whether Sunmi will address the backlash.
