After days of rumors, Bighit Music has reportedly addressed the link between BTS’s Jimin and actress Song Da Eun.
BTS’ Jimin in the spotlight again
BTS’ Jimin often makes headlines, but this time it wasn’t for music or a performance. On August 27, actress Song Da Eun uploaded a TikTok where she respond to Jimin at an elevator. The short clip quickly went viral, sparking rumors that the two were dating.
The viral TikTok
In the video, Da Eun waits in front of an elevator. When the doors open, Jimin steps out, and she greets him warmly. The clip lasted only a few seconds, but it was enough to set off thought. Some fans believed the two were more than friends, while others wondered why Da Eun shared the video at all.
Bighit’s unexpected reply
As the video spread, fans analyzed every detail and media outlets covered the story widely. On August 31, four days after the video surfaced, Bighit Music supposedly issued a rare statement. Korean media like Naver and Soompi reported that the agency released an official clarification.
The statement said Bighit usually avoids commenting on artists’ private lives. However, due to the spread of false rumors, the company decided to respond. They admitted Jimin and Da Eun once had “mutual affection” in the past, but stressed that they are not in a relationship now. The agency asked people to stop risking and to avoid harming those involved.
This was surprising for many fans since Bighit rarely addresses dating rumors directly. The confirmation that the two shared a past connection shocked the fandom, even though it clarified they are no longer together.
Who is Song Da Eun?
Song Da Eun became known after appearing in Heart Signal 2 in 2018. She later acted in dramas such as Can’t Lose (2011) and Live and Once Again (2020). While she has continued a steady acting career, her recent TikTok unexpectedly placed her at the center of K-pop gossip.
Jimin’s future
Amid the noise, Jimin remains focused on his plans. After completing his military service in June, he is now preparing for BTS’s much-anticipated comeback in spring 2026.
