Winner's member Song Min-ho has been embroiled in dating rumors with actress Park Ju-hyun.
On the 18th, a representative from Song Min-ho's agency, YG Entertainment, commented on the rumors of his relationship with actress Park Ju-hyun, stating, "It's difficult to confirm due to the artist's private life." The same position was conveyed by a representative from Park Ju-hyun's agency, 935 Entertainment.
According to the media outlet that reported the rumors, the two stars reportedly became acquainted while filming the Netflix movie Seoul Vibe in 2022, and their relationship developed into a romantic one, continuing until recently. They were seen together at a fitness facility in Gangnam, Seoul, and also spotted together in Yangyang, Gangwon-do.

Park Ju-hyun had previously posted a photo from the brand launch event of Song Min-ho's brand in October 2022.
Meanwhile, amidst the romance rumors, Song Min-ho faced allegations of inadequate service just six days before his alternative military service duty began on the 17th. In response, YG Entertainment stated, "It is difficult to confirm detailed information regarding the artist's military service, but the medical leave is an extension of treatment he had received before his service. Any other leave taken was in accordance with regulations."
Song Min-ho debuted with Winner on August 17, 2014, with their first full album. He later gained fame after becoming the runner-up on the Mnet survival program Show Me the Money 4. He also continued his variety show activities with appearances on New Journey to the West, Sing Again, and others.
