Rumours linking BTS member Jimin and Korean actor Song Da-eun have resurfaced after a video allegedly featuring the idol went viral on social media. According to Allkpop, the video was posted on TikTok by Da-eun before it was quickly deleted, but not before spreading widely across online platforms and stirring criticism from BTS fans. The clip shows Da-eun filming outside a lift in an apartment building. As the doors open, a surprised Jimin stepped out and greeted her and stated, “Oh my. Did you know I was coming in? I came here deliberately without informing you.” Fans were left infuriated, claiming the video invaded his privacy and was shared without consent.
On X (formerly Twitter), one user reactedand said, “The video seems to be from 2019–2020, the fact that she is posting now seems more like a revenge sort of.” Another fan added, “It’s extremely invasive. Does he know she posted it?” Others accused Da-eun of a repeated pattern of posting and deleting clips linked to Jimin. “I don’t care if he dated or was friends with her. That’s not my business. What concerns me is the fact that she’s been invading his privacy for years by posting videos with him/mentioning him and deleting them in minutes. This is absolutely sick and not normal,” one fan wrote.

Meanwhile, speculation about Jimin and Da-eun’s relationship began in 2022–23, when she shared a post from a Jamsil hotel on the same day BTS performed nearby. Earlier this year, she hinted she was dating a male “idol,” further fuelling speculation. During a live broadcast, she broke down in tears and admitted the situation was causing her stress. She asked people to stop harassing her, saying her personal life should not be targeted.

On the other hand, Song Da-eun has also taken a tough stance against abusive comments. She confirmed that legal action against malicious online users would continue, stressing that simple apologies were not enough. In one emotional outburst, she said: “I hope you suffer exactly what you made my family go through. Truly. You deserve the same pain and the consequences that come with it. Honestly, I can only wish the worst for you. I’m receiving all this hate just because the idol you admire happens to love me. I didn’t even make the first move. So stop targeting me. You’ve no idea what I could reveal if I truly lost my temper. And stop with the threats about me getting sued. No – you’re the ones who should be worried about legal consequences.”

Additionally, Da-eun first gained attention through Heart Signal 2 in 2018 and has since appeared in dramas such as The Handmaiden, The Golden Spoon and Once Again. Jimin, meanwhile, completed his military service in June and is currently preparing for BTS’ long-awaited group comeback. The band began work on their new album in the US in July, with a release expected in Spring 2026. Despite ongoing speculation, fans remain divided. Some criticised Da-eun’s decision to share the clip, with one writing, “Where’s the respect for his privacy? This is basically a hidden camera.” Others suggested that if the pair have truly been dating, Jimin himself should address the issue and ask fans to respect his personal life. For now, neither Jimin nor his agency has commented on the matter.
