Korean netizens and fans are growing concerned for Park Bom.
Earlier last year, Park Bom sparked dating rumors with actor Lee Min Ho after posting various photos of him on her Instagram with the caption, "Husband ♥." Following the first dating rumor, Park Bom's agency clarified that the singer was simply expressing her admiration for Lee Min Ho as a fan.
Things were quiet for a while, but then, on February 12, Park Bom posted more social media posts on her secondary account with Lee Min Ho's photos, continuing to refer to him as her "husband." Once again, Park Bom's agency clarified a second time that she is not dating Lee Min Ho and is just a fan.
However, Korean netizens began becoming deeply worried as Park Bom continued on, such as creating a third account claiming, "I wrote everything because it was true. I will continue working hard on 2NE1 activities. Thank you for your attention."
This prompted Lee Min Ho's agency to release an official statement denying the actor having any personal ties with Park Bom.
With growing concerns and heightening controversy, Park Bom took to her social media account again on February 20, stating, "I am actually alone," effectively denying any romantic relationship with Lee Min Ho. However, she further claimed, "Lee Min Ho asked me to post those messages. I now confirm that I am single."
Korean netizens are concerned Park Bom might be suffering from a mental health issue. They commented:
"Wow... what? They’re not acquaintances???"
"I honestly feel so bad for Park Bom. She should issue an apology and take responsibility."
"This is going to be so burdensome on Lee Min Ho."
"People say we should be understanding toward Park Bom, but being sick doesn’t excuse everything. And everyone is already being lenient with her because she’s unwell."
"I really think Park Bom needs medical treatment. Those around her must also feel something is off. I hope action is taken before things get worse—for her own sake. Lee Min Ho must be shocked too, but I hope this gets resolved without harm."
"Sigh... I just feel so bad for Park Bom. Back then, she was called a drug addict for taking medication, and now people are mocking her, telling her to take meds..."
"What did Lee Min Ho do to deserve this? He keeps getting dragged into these delusions. How can someone like that be in the same industry as him?"
"Does being sick mean we have to excuse everything? Do all sick people act like this? The real victim here is the one suffering unfairly."
"Honestly, imagine if the genders were reversed. Telling the victim to stay quiet makes no sense. Insisting this won’t affect him much is ridiculous."
"Seriously… if you're sick, go to the hospital."
"I hope her mental health is ok."
"Even her explanation post says she’s posting it because Lee Min Ho asked her to. Sigh…Lee Min Ho, stay strong!"
"Poor Lee Min Ho, he’s the only victim here."
"Even her clarification post didn’t make sense. The fact that he even has to clarify this is ridiculous."
"This is textbook delusional disorder… she needs to be hospitalized."
"What exactly is wrong with Park Bom? Why does she keep doing this?"
