Song Min-ho and Park Ju-hyun Spark Romance Rumors, Agencies Respond
WINNER’s Song Min-ho and actress Park Ju-hyun are at the center of swirling romance rumors, drawing intense attention from fans and media alike.
On December 18, reports surfaced claiming that Song Min-ho and Park Ju-hyun are romantically involved, with sources suggesting their on-screen chemistry in the 2022 Netflix film Seoul Vibe may have extended into real life. Alleged sightings of the two—spending time together at a gym in Gangnam, Seoul, and being seen in Yangyang, Gangwon Province—only added fuel to the speculation.
Adding to the buzz, past interactions between the two are now being revisited. During the filming of The Forbidden Marriage, Song Min-ho reportedly sent a coffee truck to Park Ju-hyun, complete with a banner that read, “Congratulations, Ju-hyun, for getting a coffee truck from Mino!” Later that year, Park Ju-hyun attended the launch event for Song Min-ho’s fashion brand, posting photos with the caption, “Congratulations and support!”

When approached for confirmation, both stars’ agencies chose to tread cautiously. Song Min-ho’s agency, YG Entertainment, told Sports Korea:
“We cannot confirm matters related to the artist’s private life.”
Similarly, Park Ju-hyun’s agency stated:
“It’s a personal matter, and we ask for your understanding.”
