BTS‘s Jimin has been under fire after private videos allegedly shared by actress Song Da Eun’s account sparked dating rumors. In the absence of any official statement from his agency, HYBE, or the artist himself, speculation over their relationship continues to grow. Recently, some Korean media outlets demanded that HYBE to clarify the rumors.
In an article published by a prominent media outlet, the writer called on HYPE Entertainment to immediately issue a statement addressing the leaked videos, noting that this issue goes beyond simple dating rumors and affects the artist’s privacy.
The article reads: “Ignoring dating rumors is a common tactic in the industry. However, this incident is different in that it involves the leaking of private information, not just a dating rumor. The agency’s silence could be seen as avoiding responsibility. Silence breeds misunderstanding, and misunderstanding breeds rumors. Only a quick response from the agency can prevent dating rumors from turning into gossip.”
In another article, a media outlet shared details of the controversial life of actress Song Da Eun, who herself fueled dating rumors with BTS member Jimin through hints and video clips. In one of the clips, the actress is seen greeting Jimin at the elevator, sparking speculation about whether they were dating or even living together.
The article also revealed that the actress had a real boyfriend. The photos she used to hint at a relationship with Jimin actually showed someone who lived in her building years before Jimin moved to the Nine One Hanam complex.
The article added: “Song Da Eun has been steadfastly flaunting her alleged relationship with Jimin for many years. Her actions included exposing what she claimed were parts of Jimin’s body in his videos, taking photos wearing clothes believed to be Jimin’s. He also posted a video with a male voice that appeared to be Jimin’s.”
The article also discussed the actress’s violations of BTS member Jimin’s private life by sharing clips without his consent, stating, “Even if her relationship with Jimin were true, the main criticism is that the her actions were one-sided and inconsiderate. In particular, the fact that she continued to cause conflicts with ARMYs through multiple posts has also led to her being labeled as a ‘troublemaker.'”
The article also revealed the actress’s career had stalled for years due to what some experts described as her controversial behavior. A broadcast industry insider, who requested anonymity, said, “I know there was already a backlash from ARMYs on the broadcast in which Song Da Eun appeared,” and “What production company would use her at such a risk?”
Her last appearance was in the MBC drama “Gold Spoon” in 2022, around the time when rumors of her relationship with Jimin began. Since then, Song Da Eun has often kept herself in the spotlight through her social media activities and conflicts with her fans, rather than through her work.
The article concluded, “This ‘self-revelation’ of this relationship is the end of her career, followed by criticism that she has put an end to her life in the entertainment industry.”
