Because BTS are global K-pop superstars, both the group as a whole and Jimin individually cannot avoid being dragged into sensational and baseless rumors such as dating speculation. This topic becomes even more heated in the media because ARMYs are such a mαѕѕive fandom, and BTS have never revealed any relationships despite being active for over a decade.

In the past, RM and Jungkook have also been accused multiple times of dating celebrities. RM himself was even falsely reported to have married a chaebol’s daughter and had a child with her. The rumors became so disruptive that both idols went live to confirm directly to fans that they were single.

When the false dating rumors involving RM and Jungkook eventually ∂ιєd down, Jimin was the next to be dragged into controversy. This time, it was even fueled by the woman at the center of the rumors herself, reigniting dating speculation and sparking heated debate. What made fans angrier was that her actions not only caused misunderstandings but also invaded Jimin’s privacy.

The person in question is actress Song Da Eun, who first gained attention in the summer of 2022 due to dating rumors with Jimin. While the idol remained silent—since the rumors were baseless—the actress seemed unwilling to let things “settle down.” At times she dropped vague hints, other times she denied everything, and even engaged in heated arguments with fans and antifans online.

ARMYs would not have been this furious if her disputes had not directly involved Jimin. However, recently, the actress uploaded a short video on TikTok filmed in front of the elevator at the idol’s apartment building. In the clip, Song Da Eun, who was waiting by the elevator, ѕтαятℓє∂ Jimin by exclaiming, “Wow!”. To which Jimin responded, "Oh! You scared me! Did you know I was coming in?" He then added, “I didn’t tell you on purpose".

Although the video was deleted within minutes, it was quickly saved and circulated by online “detectives.” As expected, Song’s “α¢¢ι∂єитal” post reignited dating speculation about the two, with so-called “evidence” such as matching accessories, being spotted at the same locations, and shared hobbies resurfacing to fuel the allegations.

Some netizens believed the clip proved they had once been in a relationship. Others criticized Jimin for not admitting to it or for not defending the actress when she previously came under attack online.

However, ARMYs reacted with anger, saying the actress violated Jimin’s privacy by recording and sharing content near his residence. Moreover, posting a video without clear context or explanation only fueled misunderstandings and damaged the idol’s reputation.

In past years, Song Da Eun had publicly denied dating Jimin and even claimed she was deeply hurt by the rumors. Yet, she was also the one who repeatedly shared coincidental photos, used matching items, and now posted an ambiguous video that once again intensified speculation. ARMYs believe the actress is deliberately using Jimin’s name for clout.

On the other hand, some ARMYs defended Jimin, arguing that the video did not prove any romantic relationship and that he cannot be accused of soмєтнing he never confirmed. They suggested that Jimin and Song Da Eun may simply have been good friends in the past. Since both are celebrities living in the same apartment complex, running into each other is entirely possible.

Below are some of the heated fan comments after the incident spread online:

- That girl might be an obsessed ex, a past friend or even just a nosy neighbour as they shared buildings back in 2020. it doesn't matter. But what matters is the fact that she dropped private videos of Jimin directly violating his confidentiality just for some likes.

- That video is clearly from 2021, 4 years ago, and that person is clearly trying to blackmail him. she deliberately brought up the video from 4 years ago to draw attention and make her nugu name known again. she will use it as pr.

- I know d*mn well she did it for attention and nothing else, because why did she delete it in not point 2 seconds.

- It’s disappointing to see someone exploit private moments for attention. Respecting boundaries is crucial, especially for public figures. We should hold each other accountable and prioritize empathy over clicks. What happened to basic decency?

- It's really complicated, maybe she couldn't get over Jimin leaving her, so she posted this, but on the other hand just posting one video isn't enough to judge

- Rather, that person looks like a stalker to gain attention and defame our precious angel.

- Deffo either an ex or obsessed neighbour, I refuse to believe he would allow a partner to behave and post this stuff. Her psycho giggles are more of a fan girl than anything else

- This is beyond unacceptable. Invading someone’s privacy just for clout is disgusting and dangerous

- She crossed the line. No excuses—using Jimin’s name and private life for attention is shameful

- ARMYs have had enough of these cheap tricks. Stop dragging Jimin into baseless rumors

- Deliberately spreading misleading content about him is malicious. She owes both Jimin and fans an apology
