The wave of speculation broke out when actress Song Da Eun posted a close-up video of Jimin (BTS) in the elevator of the apartment building where the male singer was living. In the video, Jimin was surprised to see Da Eun waiting in front of the elevator door and said, Do you know you will come? I didn't say it before I got there."
Song Da Eun did not specify when the video was filmed. But based on the outfit, fans discovered that this was a video filmed many years ago, so it is likely that the two had been dating and broken up for a long time.
When the new video went viral on August 27, BTS' management company - BigHit Music - responded to the media: "We will give an answer after internal discussions". However, the company later decided not to comment on this issue, out of respect for the artist and actress involved.
However, due to the widespread misconceptions, BigHit Music felt the need to make an official announcement.

The incident became tense during a livestream in June this year. Song Da Eun warned Jimin's fans: "Even if your idol likes me to go, I don't deserve to be scolded.
It's not like I was proactive with him before. Please don't mention me anymore. Do you know what would happen if I were really angry? ".
