New Delhi: BTS member Jimin has once again found himself at the centre of dating speculation after South Korean actress Song Da-Eun posted a new TikTok video. The clip showed Jimin in an elevator encounter with her, and it quickly sent the internet into overdrive, leaving fans questioning whether the two are more than just friends.
The short video reignited chatter about their alleged romance, with ARMYs voicing concern over potential breaches of Jimin’s privacy. The footage was claimed to have been filmed at Nine One Hannam, Jimin’s luxury residence in Seoul. In the clip, the idol is heard reacting with surprise, saying, “Oh, you scared me! Did you know I was coming in? I didn’t tell you on purpose.”
Song Da-Eun and Jimin dating rumours
This, however, is not the first time Jimin and Da-Eun have been linked. Speculation around their relationship began circulating between 2022 and 2023, when the actress shared a post from a hotel in Jamsil on the same day BTS performed in the area. Since then, internet sleuths have compared their social media activity, accessories, and even travel locations, attempting to piece together clues about a possible romance.

Who is Song Da-Eun?
Song Da-Eun is a 34-year-old actress and television personality. She made her acting debut in 2011 with MBC’s drama Can’t Live With Losing and later appeared in Park Chan-wook’s critically acclaimed film The Handmaiden (2016). Her television work includes appearances in Heart Signal 2 (2018) and Dear My Room (2019). She also featured in K-dramas such as Once Again and Mother in 2020.

Song Da-Eun’s agency’s clarification
Amid growing interest in her personal life, reports had claimed that Da-Eun was signed with Merry Go Round agency. However, a representative from the label dismissed the news, stating, “The article regarding our exclusive contract with Ms Song Da-Eun published that morning is completely false. We have not signed an exclusive contract with Ms Song Da-Eun.”
While some fans remain convinced that Jimin and Da-Eun may share a personal connection, others believe the actress’s posts cross boundaries, especially if they reveal private details about Jimin’s residence. The debate continues to stir online, with no official confirmation from either side.
