2NE1 member Park Bom is making headlines again for sparking dating rumors with actor Lee Min Ho—for the third time!

On February 15, Park Bom took to social media and shocked fans by posting, “Yes, he’s my husband♥” along with a collage featuring her selfie and Lee Min Ho’s photo.

This isn’t the first time she’s done this. Last September, she posted a similar photo with the caption, “My husband for real♥”, even tagging both their names. Fans were left confused—was she joking, fangirling, or had her account been hacked?

Park Bom has openly expressed her admiration for Lee Min Ho multiple times, even calling him her ideal type in past interviews. But with her making these posts again and again, fans are wondering—why does she keep doing this?

A source close to Park Bom told OSEN, “She uploaded it purely as a fan. There’s no romantic relationship between them.” As for concerns about hacking, the insider added, “We are checking directly with her.”

However, the situation got even messier. Last month, Park Bom created a second Instagram account, claiming, “This is the new Park Bom. My second real account.”

Since then, she has been actively posting, and just a few days ago, she once again uploaded a picture of Lee Min Ho, calling him “My husband♥”—reigniting the rumors all over again!

She didn’t stop there. Park Bom posted yet another picture, doubling down on her claim with, “Again, my husband♥.” Given that this isn’t the first time, some netizens defended her as simply being a passionate fan, while others criticized her for dragging Lee Min Ho into unnecessary rumors.

Park Bom’s agency cautiously responded, stating, “Social media is a personal space, so we can’t confirm everything. But based on past cases, it seems to be just admiration for Lee Min Ho. We are still checking on the situation regarding her second account.”

Despite deleting her previous posts, Park Bom reignited the buzz by re-uploading the collage on the 15th and boldly writing, “Yes, he’s my husband♥.”

As if that wasn’t enough, she even responded to an international fan’s question, “Is it for real?” with a direct “Yes.”

Now, the speculation is stronger than ever. While most fans see it as just playful admiration, others are taking it seriously, leaving comments like “We’re cheering for you!”

What do you think—is Park Bom just fangirling, or is there more to the story?

Director Kim Hyung Joo of The Match has finally shared his thoughts on Yoo Ah In’s involvement in a drug scandal, calling it a major disappointment, especially considering the actor’s role as the lead in the film.

On March 19th, the director attended a press screening and briefing for The Match at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul. Alongside Kim, actors Lee Byung Hun, Ko Chang Seok, Hyun Bong Sik, Moon Jung Hee, and Jo Woo Jin were present to discuss the film.

The Match revolves around the legendary Go player Cho Hun Hyun (played by Lee Byung Hun), who, after a loss to his disciple, decides to challenge the top players again, driven by his competitive spirit. The movie is directed by Kim Hyung Joo.

Lee Byung Hun plays the iconic Go champion Cho Hun Hyun, while Yoo Ah In portrays his disciple, Lee Chang Ho.

During the event, Kim recalled the casting process, saying, "When we were casting, Lee Byung Hun was cast first. Just having him felt like we had the world, and then, getting Yoo Ah In as a bonus made me even happier."

Although filming wrapped up in 2021, Yoo Ah In's drug scandal led to the indefinite postponement of the film’s release. Now, nearly four years later, The Match is finally set to hit theaters on March 26th.

Reflecting on Yoo Ah In's scandal, Director Kim openly shared his frustration, calling it "irresponsible and disappointing" for the actor to make such a mistake as the lead.

He added, “Before being an actor, he made a mistake as a member of society and was punished, so I don’t think there’s much more to say.” Kim smiled bitterly as he spoke.

Describing the challenges he faced due to the scandal, Kim compared the experience to being trapped in "a hellish tunnel."

He said, "There was nothing I could do inside, so it was overwhelming. But now that we have the light of release, it feels like I can breathe. I’m deeply moved."

The director also shared that because Yoo Ah In was the lead actor, the film had to be released as it was, without editing. This has led some people to feel uneasy about watching the film, given the actor’s scandal.

When asked about this, Director Kim said, "Choosing and judging is up to the audience, so I can't force anything. But I hope they watch the movie as it is. I unintentionally got hurt before the release, so I hope people watch the movie warmly, as if applying ointment to a wound."

The Match will officially be released on March 26th.
