Sports Chosun’s Baek Ji-eun reports that BTS’s Jimin and ‘Heart Signal 2’ contestant Song Da-eun have been swept up in dating rumors for the third time.
Recently, Song Da-eun shared a video showing her home date with Jimin on her account. In the video, she is seen waiting for someone outside her home. When the elevator doors open, Jimin appears, expressing surprise at having been awaited. The elevator identified with the “Nine One Hannam” brand name, which is known to be where Jimin resides, caught the attention of netizens, suggesting that Song Da-eun shared a captured moment of their home date.
The rumors initially surfaced in June 2022, but both parties remained silent at the time. Song Da-eun hinted at the relationship by posting a photo of a couple’s item with initials “D” and “J” on it, along with a photo of someone presumed to be Jimin.
This led to backlash from BTS fans against Song Da-eun. In response, she made a statement on a live broadcast, defending herself against the criticism, and warning against further harassment. She remarked, “Just because your favorite idol loves me doesn’t mean I deserve hate.”
True to her word, she recently shared another video of their date, further asserting their relationship. Song Da-eun’s fans have expressed support for her, stating they quietly cheer for the love she has chosen and hope for its strength to withstand public scrutiny.
Currently, Jimin is in the U.S. preparing for BTS’s reunion since July. The peculiar situation where Jimin is notably absent from these self-released dating confirmations has garnered public interest, leaving many curious about the conclusion of these rumors.
