Actress Song Da Eun is facing a fierce wave of criticism after fueling dating rumors with Jimin by ambiguously posting a video of the two at the luxury Nine One Hannam apartment complex. Instead of being called an “actress,” Song Da Eun is now labeled as a troublemaker, making her career path in the entertainment industry increasingly difficult.
For the past three years since 2022, Song Da Eun has continuously hinted at a relationship with Jimin. She has posted photos or videos subtly showing Jimin’s appearance or voice, used so-called “couple items,” shared stories from the same place and time as him, or displayed overlapping hobbies.
However, all of these were one-sided, speculative claims that were criticized as thoughtless and even an invasion of Jimin’s privacy—especially her recent act of uploading a video that clearly revealed his face.
Yet none of this angered fans as much as the discovery that Song allegedly already had a boyfriend but still used Jimin’s name to gain fame and attempt a return to celebrity life. Fans were ѕнσ¢кed when кσяєαn media released evidence suggesting that the dating rumors between Song and Jimin were false.
This included a video uploaded on social media by what appeared to be an overseas fan account, captioned: “Song Da Eun did a three-hour livestream yesterday (27th).”
In the video, Song Da Eun is seen chatting happily with a man, even adding a heart emoji on face. Her hairstyle in the livestream closely matched the hairstyle in a recent selfie she had posted on her personal account.
These details suggested that the video was recent and authentic, leading to speculation that Song is actually in a happy relationship with another man—her real boyfriend—thus indirectly denying the rumors with Jimin.
Another piece of evidence noted that Jimin only moved into Nine One Hannam in 2021, while Song Da Eun had already been posting photos since 2019 hinting at dating someone who lived there. The mismatched timeline further deepened suspicion that the rumors were inaccurate.
Moreover, кσяєαn media pointed out that while Song Da Eun claimed she was harassed by fans and stalked over dating rumors, she seemed far more eager to bask in public attention. She had ever livestreamed at 4 a.m. after being drunk, cried on stream, and often gone live whenever her dating rumors with Jimin resurfaced.
Song also frequently provoked Jimin’s fans, saying things like “The fact that your idol loves me is not a reason for me to be ¢υяѕєd at” and “You don’t know what I might reveal if I get angry,” while also threatening lawsuits. These extreme behaviors often stirred controversy and created hot topics, making her more known as “the woman linked to Jimin” rather than as an actress.
On the other hand, кσяєαn media also highlighted that since the drama “The Golden Spoon” (MBC), Song Da Eun has had no jobs in the entertainment industry from 2022—the very time she began hinting at a relationship with Jimin publicly. This raised questions over whether her real intention was to leverage the fame of a K-pop superstar to gain attention and stage a comeback.
But contrary to her apparent intention, industry experts note that a negative image has stuck firmly to Song Da Eun, making producers hesitant to cast her. Especially in advertising—where a clean and trustworthy image is crucial—her scandal has become a stain that is hard to erase.
Furthermore, her confrontation with BTS’s fandom also means any project she joins faces the risk of organized boycotts, pressuring brands, broadcasters, and production companies.
The latest act of exposing her own private life may even well mark the end of Song Da Eun’s career in the entertainment industry!
