Who Is Song Da Eun, The Girl Caught Up In Dating Rumors With BTS’s Jimin?

The name Song Da Eun has been trending ever since a video she uploaded reignited rumors that she may be romantically linked to BTS’s Jimin. For many international fans, she may not be a familiar face, but within South Korea she has built a career as both a reality show alum and an actress.

Song Da Eun first came into the public eye in 2018 when she appeared on Heart Signal 2, a popular dating reality program that turned several of its cast members into celebrities overnight.

Her easygoing personality and natural screen presence helped her gain recognition, and soon she began landing small acting roles in projects such as The Handmaiden, Be Melodramatic, Once Again, and More Than Friends. While her acting career never reached major stardom, she maintained a steady presence in the industry, while also building an audience through social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok.

On August 26, she shared a short clip of herself waiting for an elevator when she was suddenly joined by none other than a man many viewers identified as BTS’s Jimin. The background setting appeared to match Nine One Hannam, a luxury residence in Seoul where Jimin is reported to live, and fans quickly began to speculate whether this was proof of a secret relationship.

This was not the first time rumors had circulated about the pair. Since 2022, online communities have collected “evidence” ranging from supposed matching jewelry, coinciding Instagram posts, and even attending the same soccer match on Song Da Eun’s birthday. Fans dissected details such as her posts about peonies and rubber trees, plants Jimin is also fond of, and even noted that she once used the nickname “Kangyangee,” a wordplay on “dog” and “cat,” which some claim Jimin also favored. Each new coincidence only seemed to fuel speculation.

Song Da Eun herself has addressed the situation before, expressing frustration at the online harassment she has faced. In 2023, she posted a statement warning that she would consider legal action against malicious commenters spreading false rumors. Despite this, the attention has never truly faded, and her recent video has only amplified the frenzy.

The public reaction has been sharply divided. While some netizens believe she is deliberately chasing attention by sharing private moments, others have voiced sympathy, noting that she has every right to live her life without being vilified. Many fans, however, remain unsettled by the idea of Jimin’s private life being exposed so casually. For now, HYBE and Big Hit Music, Jimin’s agency, have chosen to remain silent, neither confirming nor denying the relationship.
