Actress Song Da-eun Sparks Dating Speculation with BTS’s Jimin in Surprise Elevator Video

Seoul, August 27, 2025 - Actress and reality-TV star Song Da-eun reignited dating rumors with BTS’s Jimin today after sharing a short TikTok clip capturing an unexpected moment in a luxury apartment elevator.

In the video posted to Song’s official account, she is seen waiting on her floor before the doors slide open to reveal a visibly surprised Jimin stepping inside. “Oh my gosh. Did you know I was coming in? I didn’t tell you on purpose,” he exclaims, laughing as Song playfully startled him.

Fans immediately noted the setting as Nine One Hannam in Hannam-dong, Seoul-the same upscale residence where Jimin is reported to live-further fueling speculation about a real-life romance between the two public figures. Rumors linking Song and the K-pop star first emerged in 2022, though neither party has ever officially confirmed their relationship.

This latest clip comes after Song’s emotional live broadcast in June, during which she threatened legal action against those spreading “malicious comments” about her alleged involvement with Jimin. “Just because the idol you like loves me doesn’t mean I deserve to be attacked. I didn’t make the first move,” she said, warning anonymous online critics that “maybe you will be the ones getting sued”.

Reaction across social media was deeply divided. Some ARMY members condemned Song for allegedly violating Jimin’s privacy by sharing private footage without his consent, while others defended her, arguing that she has endured years of harassment. Concerned fans demanded that BigHit Music take legal steps to safeguard Jimin’s personal life.

Neither Song Da-eun nor BigHit Music has issued an official statement in response to today’s viral video. Jimin, who completed his military service in June, is scheduled to return with BTS for a full-group comeback in spring 2026.
