Actress Song Da Eun’s name has once again controversially climbed onto media headlines amid revived dating rumours involving BTS member Jimin. Sharing a video on her TikTok account, she allegedly shed light on bits of her private life with the K-pop idol. Jimin’s brief appearance in the clip aided in its subsequent skyrocketing viral fame on social media.

Fans couldn’t keep calm after catching the South Korean singer’s glimpse therein, as he’s seen coming out of an elevator. According to KoreaJoongAng Daily, the visibly surprised K-pop artist is heard saying, “Woah, you scared me. Did you know I was coming? I came without telling you on purpose.”

BTS fans not ready to believe the BTS Jimin-Song Da Eun rumours

With the BTS fandom spiralling out of control, many are already speculating that the actress featured in multiple K-dramas over the years is nothing more than Jimin’s “stalker.” The majority of BTS ARMYs were furious to see the video coming to light, as they wondered Song’s intent behind releasing the supposed private video if she truly was the BTS member’s girlfriend.

The now-viral video is believed to have been filmed at Nine One Hannam, a severely exclusive and luxurious residential complex in Hannah-dong, Seoul, where Jimin lives.

Dating rumours have long tied Jimin to Song Da Eun. His group’s agency, BIGHIT Music under the HYBE Labels banner, has yet to address the latest development that has got many fans on edge.

BTS Jimin embroiled in years-long dating rumours; Song Da Eun says…

Song and Jimin have been romantically linked together since 2022 amid growing rumours about the two not only dating each other but also living together. This is not the first time she’s posted content supposedly linked to the “Serendipity” hit-maker. Although neither party has ever officially confirmed the purported relationship, Song has previously responded to critics speaking out against her.

According to K-media outlet iMBC, the following year she insisted on her sanity, saying that others could confirm the same. Initially claiming to be dating a male “idol,” she stood her ground, countering the rising hate against her. At one point, Da Eun reportedly even went on to say she wasn’t scared of BTS’ fanbase or how she could possibly be sued for her actions.

Earlier this year, a heartbroken Da Eun opened up about how malicious comments targeting her family had affected her. “Just because the idol you like loves me doesn’t mean I deserve to be criticised. I didn’t make the first move either,” she expressed her frustration in June. (literal Korean-to-English translation) Reports also suggested that despite steering clear of Jimin’s name in her confessions at times, the actress said she had enough proof to back her claims about a relationship with a singer.

What do we know about Song Da Eun?

Having debuted in 2011 through the MBC Drama series Can’t Live with Losing, she went on to gain recognition with her appearance in the Channel A dating reality show Heart Signal Season 2 in 2018. Due to her reality TV participation, she got paired up with Jung Jae Ho at the time. They eventually became a real couple. However, the relationship was short-lived, as they reportedly went their separate ways just five months after the show concluded.

She has since held acting credits for her KBS 2TV’s drama Once Again (2020) and tvN’s show Mother (2020) as well. Da Eun goes by the username “@da.eun.da.eun” on Instagram.

K-media reports had previously revealed that the content production and management company Merry Go Round had boarded Song as one of its artists. However, in the aftermath of the reignition of the said dating rumours, a representative from the company told the outlet OSEN that the claims about the actress signing an exclusive contract with the banner were untrue.

“The article regarding our exclusive contract with Ms Song Da Eun published that morning is completely false. We have not signed an exclusive contract with Ms Song Da Eun,” the rep said, as per the English translation of the statement.
