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.

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.

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.
