Actress Song Da Eun is making waves in the BTS fan community around the world by posting a video that is considered evidence of her dating with member Jimin.
In the video, the girl believed to be Song Da Eun was waiting in front of the elevator for someone. When the elevator door opened, Jimin appeared in front of her. Inside the elevator, the words "Nine One Hannam" are revealed, which is the luxury apartment complex where Jimin lives.
This video has further strengthened the evidence that Song Da Eun has a relationship with Jimin, after a series of their dating signs discovered by netizens many years ago.
However, what makes the audience curious is when this video was filmed, are Jimin and Song Da Eun still lovers?
According to Sports Chosun, on August 28, a BTS fan social media account (ARMY) posted an article claiming that Song Da Eun has another boyfriend, and she livestreamed with this man on August 27.
However, it should be noted that Song Da Eun is currently a TikToker, specializing in opening daily livestreams and collaborating with many different guests. So it is not excluded that this is likely to be just another TikToker interacting on social media with her.
In addition, fans analyzed that Jimin moved to Nine One Hannam apartment in 2021, while Song Da Eun posted some photos showing her dating someone who has lived there since 2019. Therefore, BTS fans thought that Song Da Eun did not live with Jimin.
Fans accused Song Da Eun of deliberately lying and ignoring Jimin's dating to attract attention.
The rumors of the two dating have been persistent since 2022, when fans discovered Song Da Eun's hinted at their relationship with Jimin by posting many photos with details related to Jimin.
Last year, Song Da Eun shared a video of her dog playing in an apartment with a very similar interior to Jimin's apartment that appeared in the documentary about BTS. After that, the actress posted a photo of a headphone case with the words Da In and Jimin and immediately deleted it.
BTS fans speculate that Song Da Eun and Jimin have been separated for a long time because the evidence she released is all from many years ago. Fans criticized Song Da Eun for taking advantage of his image and violating Jimin's privacy to attract attention.
Fans are also upset that BTS's management company - BigHit Music is still silent about the noise, similar to the way this company did not speak out when V (BTS) and Jennie (Blackpink) were suspected of dating in 2022 - 2023.
However, according to Ten Asia, BigHit Music's choice to remain silent comes from concerns that the company's stance on idol dating rumors, regardless of whether they are true or not, could lead to unnecessary controversy.
An industry analyst: "The dating issue of BTS members, world-famous stars, is not just a private matter but also a global concern.
The company's decision to keep quiet can be considered a strategic choice, considering the psychology of domestic and international fans, market reactions, and even the protection of artists".
