Park Bo Gum publicly confesses to K-pop idol Minnie: ‘I fell in love with your voice two years ago'
Park Bo Gum made the most surprising confession in the latest episode of the Seasons when he publicly revealed falling in love with the voice of a Thai-K-pop idol two years back. When Life Gives You Tangerines star has been rumoured to be dating quite a few industry colleagues over the years, but back in 2023, while performing at Music Bank in Mexico, i-dle's (formerly known as (G)I-DLE) Minnie made his heart flutter. Now, months later, the K-pop group arrived for the latest episode of the musical show, currently hosted by Bo Gum, where the actor admitted he's still thinking about that moment. Also read: Park Bo Gum reveals he got ghosted by IU's on-screen lover after Tangerines wrap-up: 'I texted… but no reply' The five-member K-pop group consisting of Miyeon, Minnie, Soyeon, Yuqi, and Shuhua recently graced the stage of The Seasons: Cantabile. The KBS2 musical TV show kicked off its seventh season back in March with Bo Gum as the first actor host and has since welcomed an impressive lineup of A-listers. (G)I-DLE appeared to promote their latest comeback and spoke about their music, projects, tours, and more. While discussing, Bo Gum suddenly recalled a moment when he headlined a special performance at Music Bank Mexico alongside Minnie and left the studio and fans shocked by confessing, 'I fell in love.' According to Koreaboo, one Korean media article teasing the episode wrote, 'Park Bo Gum, reminiscing about his stage performance with Minnie two years ago, stirred up the studio by confessing, 'I fell in love with Minnie that day.'' However, it was later revealed that he said he fell for her voice. The Good Boy actor, who is also a musician, performed the original soundtrack Remember Me with Minnie and Hanni (from New Jeans), back in 2023. As expected, his confession made waves online, and fans couldn't hold their excitement while sharing their views. One person commented, 'So are we just not gonna talk about the fact that Park Bo Gum just said he's in love with Minnie and he fell in love with her two years ago, that too at first sight? And he said this in front of Minnie, i-dle, and FANS—this guy is crazyyy!!!' A second chimed in, 'GUYS, he said he fell in love with her voice two years ago—maybe the first article made a mistake,' clearing up the confusion. But for many, the duo would make the perfect couple, given their visual appeal, standing in the industry, and shared love for music. Also read: 'Park Bo Gum took the blame for me': Staff reveals how Tangerines star saved the day, IU calls him a real-life Gwan Sik Many noted how Bo Gum kept admiring Minnie's visuals throughout the show, with the duo stealing some glances. 'Trust me, after seeing this, I directly went back to check Minnie and Park Bogum's performance. Why isn't this post getting hype? Like, he actually confessed to falling at first sight,' one person wrote. Another said, 'Park Bogum saying he fell for Minnie at first sight during this performance—I don't blame him, she looked otherworldly.' Park Bo Gum has largely kept his personal life out of the spotlight in his over 15-year-long career in the industry. However, being the K-industry A-lister he is, he has been linked to a few celebrities from time to time, including Love in the Moonlight co-star Kim Yoo Jung. The duo were even spotted in the Philippines back in 2020, and the rumours floated around for months, but the relationship never got a confirmation. Apart from that, Park was also linked with actor Jang Na Ra, and the buzz raged to the point where the media started speculating about a potential marriage. At the time, Jang Na Ra directly addressed the rumour and said, 'I haven't even met him on the street while walking past. I don't know where Cheongdam Wedding Street is, and I spend most of my time at home or in my neighbourhood.' Park, in his early days, was said to be controversially dating Song Hye Kyo, and the rumour gained traction after Song's marriage with Song Joong Ki fell apart. For now, the actor is not dating anyone publicly.

Another K-pop scandal? SM Entertainment accused of tampering with local broadcaster
Xiumin's management company claims the entertainment powerhouse exerted influence to block the singer's appearance on 'Music Bank' EXO member Xiumin's new agency INB100, on Tuesday, accused SM Entertainment of tampering with local broadcaster KBS to prevent the singer from appearing on a music show. The following day, MC Mong, co-founder of One Hundred, further criticized SM Entertainment for allegedly exerting influence over the broadcaster. One Hundred, the parent company of Xiumin's agency INB100, revealed Tuesday that KBS had been unresponsive to their attempts to schedule the singer for an appearance on 'Music Bank,' despite repeated inquiries. The company alleged that KBS had informally communicated that 'Xiumin would not be allowed to appear on the program alongside SM Entertainment artists.' MC Mong further went on to post on his social media: "Do you guys remember coming to my house to apologize? Now, you're isolating yourselves, acting barbaric and violent. It's disgraceful. Someone who's never made music is leading A&R, while an ignorant manager plays CEO, recklessly running things. Your greed and ignorance will leave you all alone — I promise you that." The post has since been deleted. However, KBS denied the claims, stating that discussions regarding Xiumin's appearance were ongoing and that there was no intentional exclusion. Xiumin left SM Entertainment in 2023 to join INB100, the agency founded by fellow EXO members Baekhyun and Chen. The broadcasting dispute follows a legal battle last year involving Baekhyun, Chen and Xiumin — often referred to as EXO-CBX. The three members challenged their contracts with SM Entertainment, citing unfair terms and a lack of financial transparency. The conflict was settled in August, with the three members agreeing to continue EXO group activities under SM while pursuing individual careers elsewhere. SM Entertainment previously accused MC Mong and Big Planet Made of attempting to poach EXO members, an allegation both MC Mong and BPM denied. MC Mong was an internal director of BPM then. Music critic Lim Hee-yun noted that if One Hundred's claims are true, the issue extends beyond SM Entertainment. 'Although more media platforms exist today, major broadcasting channels and top agencies still dominate K-pop's promotional landscape. With a limited number of production companies and influential broadcasters, cases like this become possible,' Lim said Wednesday. He added that broadcasting stations naturally want high viewership and must consider the influence of powerful agencies when selecting artists for their programs. 'If a company controls a majority of the industry's top artists, it can leverage that power to limit exposure for artists associated with rival agencies.' Stephanie Choi, a postdoctoral researcher at the State University of New York at Buffalo, pointed out that K-pop companies have increasingly relied on fans to advocate for their artists in industry conflicts. 'In the past, television producers had more control over K-pop, as TV appearances were essential for idol promotion. But with the rise of social media, companies now depend heavily on grassroots fan engagement to promote their artists,' Choi said. 'This is why Korean fans, who play a significant role in physical promotional activities, often reject public accusations like this. Essentially, companies are asking fans to intervene in their disputes, but fans worry that such controversies could harm the artist's public image — especially ahead of a major album release,' she added.

Xiumin's camp accuses KBS of bias towards SM Entertainment's artistes
6 Mar - Xiumin's agency has now accused KBS of denying the singer his place to promote his music on KBS2's "Music Bank" due to its good relationship with SM Entertainment. In a recent statement released by ONE HUNDRED Label, the company stated that their team has made continuous effort to arrange meetings with various broadcasting stations to promote the former EXO member's solo album, "Interview X", but that KBS has remained unresponsive. The company also alleged that they received unofficial information from the broadcaster that it would be difficult for the singer to appear on KBS programmes that feature SM Entertainment's artistes. "We believe this situation reflects a case where a public broadcasting station is blocking an artiste's meeting with fans, not due to musical or any other factors, but based on its dealings with a specific entertainment company. If this kind of unfair treatment continues, our artistes will be placed in a situation where they cannot promote on music shows whenever SM Entertainment artistes have ongoing album promotions," the company stated. ONE HUNDRED also stated that the company will continue to work hard to ensure that artistes are treated fairly and strive to prevent many artistes from being harmed by such unfair behaviour. In response to the allegation, a KBS rep stated that the claim made was untrue and that the "Music Bank" team has been in continuous communication with Xiumin's agency. (Photo Source: Xiumin IG)
