On February 19, Park Bom shared a new post on her Instagram, saying, "Hi, everyone. I'm working hard as always, and I just wanted to let you know that I posted everything because it's all true. Anyway, I'll keep doing my best as a member of 2NE1. Thanks for all the love. I also have a third account, so please check it out!"
The "everything" she referred to was her claim that Lee Minho is her husband.
At the time, her agency quickly shut down the rumors, explaining, "Park Bom is just a fan of Lee Minho. She posted that after watching his drama 'The Heirs.'"
But earlier this month, on the 13th, Park Bom stirred things up again by posting another photo of Lee Minho on her Instagram, writing, "My husband."
When a fan asked, "Is it for real?" she simply replied, "Yes," and went on to vent that her agency had been deleting her posts about it.
In response, her agency once again dismissed the rumors, saying, "Like we said before, Park Bom is a huge fan of Lee Minho. She shared the posts out of love as a fan. It's nothing more than that."
Her repeated, odd claim made many uncomfortable, and she faced significant criticism, particularly for putting Lee Minho in an awkward position.
And soon after, the post was deleted, whether by Park Bom trying to avoid the backlash or her agency removing it.
But just three days later, on the 15th, she caused a stir again by uploading another photo of Lee Minho and calling him "my husband" once again.
The statement even called for her removal from the group, saying, "We've reached a point where we can't just sit back and watch anymore."
As of now, Park Bom's second and third Instagram accounts—where she once again claimed the rumors were true—have either been deactivated or deleted.
