Jimin Dating Rumors 2025: BTS Star's Private Video Leaked by Song Da-eun
Actress Song Da-eun reignited four-year-long dating speculation with BTS's Jimin after posting-then deleting-a private elevator video showing the K-pop star at his apartment building, sparking fierce backlash over privacy violations.
Private Video Sparks Controversy
On August 27, 2025, Song Da-eun posted a TikTok video showing herself waiting at an apartment elevator before Jimin appeared inside, saying "Oh, you knew I was coming in? I was trying to surprise you by not telling you." The video was filmed at what appears to be Nine One Hannam, Jimin's luxury Seoul residence.
The video was quickly deleted but spread rapidly across social media platforms, triggering intense criticism from BTS fans who accused Song of violating Jimin's privacy without consent.
Fan Outrage Over Privacy Breach
ARMY members demanded legal action, with one fan writing: "Someone who truly loves and values Jimin wouldn't share Jimin's video as if it were leaked". Others called for HYBE to protect their artist, stating "the main issue here is not whether he is dating or not: it's that his privacy is being violated".
Four-Year Timeline of Speculation
Dating rumors between Jimin and Song Da-eun first surfaced in 2022 when she posted photos of earphones engraved with "J" and "S" initials. Since then, online communities have dissected supposed "evidence" including:
- Matching jewelry and coinciding Instagram posts
- A riverside video showing shoes identical to ones Jimin previously wore
- Photos of Song wearing BTS merchandise featuring "MIC DROP"
About Song Da-eun
Born June 14, 1991, Song Da-eun debuted in 2011 with MBC's drama "Can't Lose". She made her film debut in Park Chan-wook's acclaimed 2016 movie "The Handmaiden" and gained wider recognition after appearing on dating reality show "Heart Signal 2" in 2018.
Song faced controversy in 2021 over alleged connections to the Burning Sun scandal, though her agency denied involvement.
Previous Harassment Claims
In June 2025, Song addressed online harassment during a live broadcast, stating: "Just because the idol you like loves me doesn't mean I deserve to be hated... You seriously have no idea what I might expose if I lose my temper".
Agency Silence Continues
Big Hit Music has remained silent throughout the four years of speculation, declining to comment on dating rumors. Separately, Merry-Go-Round Company clarified reports about Song signing an exclusive contract with them were "not true".
Military Service Context
Jimin completed his mandatory military service on June 11, 2025, alongside fellow member Jungkook. BTS is expected to reunite as a full group in 2025 after all members complete their service obligations.
In a recent live broadcast discussing his song "Who," Jimin mentioned "I need to meet someone first," which some fans interpret as confirmation of his single status.
The controversy highlights ongoing tensions between celebrity privacy rights and fan speculation, with neither Jimin nor Song Da-eun officially confirming or denying any romantic relationship.
