Fact-Checking Post Malone’s Ex: Is Hee Sung Actually Jamie Park? the True Relationship Story
By Maya Lin-Takahashi
The name "Hee Sung" entered the Post Malone cultural lexicon in August 2020. Bae Hee-sung, an acclaimed Seoul-born visual artist, model, and rapper known professionally as MLMA ("Me Love Me A Lot"), uploaded a series of intimate photos alongside Post Malone to her public Instagram profile. The images featured the pair cuddling in a recording studio, posing in custom anime-embroidered jackets, and sharing a brief cheek kiss. One photo captured Post Malone with MLMA's name drawn across his face in green ink, accompanied by a caption that sent the music sphere into overdrive: "I did makeup on cutest face."
The viral upload prompted immediate speculation that the two were an official couple. MLMA added fuel to the fire by posting an illustrated collage showing an embrace with a figure bearing Post's unmistakable face tattoos, alongside images of matching gothic-style rings. Mainstream outlets picked up the posts as a potential new chapter following Post's high-profile 2018 split from longtime partner Ashlen Diaz.
Neither Post Malone nor his management team ever confirmed a romantic commitment to MLMA. Industry insiders observed that the interaction bore all the hallmarks of an edgy artistic collaboration between two creative eccentrics rather than a conventional domestic partnership. Within months, the public interactions ceased entirely, leaving behind an archived search trail that permanently paired the legal name Bae Hee-sung with Post Malone's dating history.
