Are Song Min Ho and Park Ju Hyun the Next K-Pop Couple? Truth Behind the Dating Rumors

Dating rumors have emerged surrounding Song Min Ho, the WINNER, and South Korean actress Park Ju Hyun. On Wednesday, SBS Entertainment News reported that multiple sources confirmed the two had been dating. The pair reportedly grew close after working together on the 2022 Netflix film Seoul Vibe and have been in a relationship ever since.

According to reports, Song Min Ho and Park Ju Hyun were recently spotted together at a fitness center in Gangnam, Seoul, and Yangyang, a popular area in Gangwon Province.

Instead of keeping their relationship private, sources suggest that Park Ju Hyun has been openly socializing with Song Min Ho’s music industry friends. This suggests a relaxed and friendly dynamic between the couple.

Both agencies declined to confirm specifics when approached for comment, stating, “This matter pertains to the artists’ private lives.”

There are also reports that Song Min Ho has publicly expressed affection for Park Ju Hyun. Notably, in 2021, he sent a coffee truck to her filming set for the drama Love All Play with a message that read, “Congratulations to Ju Hyun, who can receive a coffee truck from Min Ho.”

In October 2022, Park Ju Hyun attended the launch event for Song Min Ho’s new brand, sharing a photo of the occasion with the caption, “Congratulations. I support you.”

Responding to the ongoing rumors, both agencies reiterated, “It is difficult to confirm details as it pertains to the artist’s private life.”

Park Ju Hyun gained widespread attention for her role in the 2020 Netflix drama Extracurricular, which brought her recognition for her acting skills. Later, in June 2023, she won the Best New Actress award at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards for her performance in the movie Drive.

Song Min Ho first debuted in 2011 with the group BoM and later re-debuted as a member of WINNER in 2014. He made a big splash on television by finishing as a runner-up in the 2015 season of Mnet’s rap competition show Show Me the Money 4. Since then, he has continued his variety show appearances on popular programs like New Journey to the West and Sing Again.

In March 2023, Song Min Ho enlisted in the military and has been serving in an alternative service role. He will be discharged on December 23. However, he has recently been accused of poor service performance.

YG Entertainment, his agency, responded to the allegations by saying, “It is difficult to confirm specific details regarding the artist’s military service. However, the reason for his medical leave is an extension of the treatment he had been receiving before his service. As for other leaves, all were used by regulations.”
