A few days ago, Song Da Eun stirred up social media by sharing a short video showing Jimin’s face. Following that post, dating rumors about the two resurfaced once again, sparking heated debate.

Rumors of a relationship between the two first emerged in the summer of 2022. Over the years, the rumors have occasionally resurfaced whenever Song Da Eun shared certain hints on social media that were believed to reference “their relationship.”

However, all of those rumors eventually ∂ιєd down as neither Jimin nor his agency ever commented or provided any evidence confirming those hints. It was only when Song recently posted a TikTok video that seemingly featured Jimin that the story became more complicated — prompting Big Hit Music and the idol himself to issue a statement to put the matter to rest.

On August 31, the company released an official statement addressing the recent dating rumors involving Jimin and Song Da Eun. The company’s full statement reads as follows: 

"Our company has refrained from making any statements until now in order to respect Jimin’s private life as well as the individual being mentioned in relation to it.

However, as speculative reports concerning the artist’s personal life have continued to surface and groundless rumors have been circulating, we find it unavoidable to clarify the bare minimum facts.

The artist and the individual in question were once acquainted with mutual affection in the past, but that was several years ago, and they are not in a relationship at present.

We ask that you refrain from making reckless speculations about their private lives. We earnestly request that you also refrain from any actions that could cause harm to the individual who is being mentioned alongside the artist."

This statement officially puts an end to the false rumors that have damaged Jimin’s reputation over the years. At the same time, it serves as a warning for Song Da Eun to stop dragging Jimin into her personal narrative or using his fame for attention.

In addition, Big Hit Music emphasized the importance of privacy and respect for the artist’s personal life. The company’s call for the fandom to behave respectfully has received strong support from well-meaning fans!
