On August 27, actress and former contestant of Heart Signal 2 Song Da Eun posted a video featuring Jimin (BTS) when he entered an apartment building and the two met.
This close-up video is believed to be evidence that Jimin and Song Da Eun used to date, but was filmed without Jimin's knowledge. This caused a wave of backlash.
Currently, BigHit Music - Jimin and BTS' management company - has not yet given an official response. Meanwhile, public opinion has divided its views.
Many netizens expressed their anger at Song Da Eun's actions, criticizing her for revealing a private moment without Jimin's consent.
Where is his respect for privacy?, This is basically a hidden camera, Even if they are dating, what kind of girlfriend is this? - some comments from the audience.
Some people added that, "whether you love or not, basic politeness must still be applied," accusing Song Da Eun of using the scene for personal gain or emotional impact.
On the other hand, a part of the audience sympathizes with Song Da Eun. They believe that the actress has had to endure persistent dating rumors since 2022 and was harassed by BTS' Jimin fans, without an official explanation.
During that time, Song Da Eun became the target of malicious comments accusing her of being a "self-made" person, deliberately revealing signs that caused Jimin's dating rumors to spread. Although Song Da Eun has repeatedly denied knowing Jimin when being questioned by fans.
Song Da Eun's supporters recalled a live broadcast on Instagram in June 2024, the actress burst into tears when talking about her mental pain: "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, please?
Do you know what would happen if I were really angry? I said all day that I would be sued, but the ones who deserved to be sued were you. These emails are not read by me but by my lawyer. If you do not want to receive the police summons in a few days, please apologize."
The audience believes that the video that was just posted featuring Jimin is the result of many years of Song Da Eun suffering from a heavy emotional burden, extremely disappointed due to lack of recognition.
In old clips from 2022 - 2023, Song Da Eun was repeatedly upset: "Why do I have to talk about someone I don't even know?", "Why do I always have to explain? Ask him, don't ask me...
