So, after weeks of chaos, detective theories, and one elevator video being replayed more times than an actual music video, BigHit finally stepped in. The company confirmed what everyone’s been whispering about: yes, Jimin once had a relationship with actress Song Da Eun. But here’s the twist—it’s in the past. They are not currently dating. Translation? The world has been losing its mind over something that isn’t even happening anymore.
Let’s pause and ask the obvious: was this really worth all the noise? We’re talking about a grown man in his thirties who dared to do something completely normal—date someone. The way the internet reacted, you’d think Jimin had announced he was quitting music to become a magician. Instead, it’s just another case of people confusing an idol’s personal life with their own entertainment.
BigHit’s clarification should’ve ended the conversation, but of course it didn’t. Some fans are still arguing, others are relieved, and a few are pretending to be betrayed—as if Jimin’s job description included “remain single forever.” Honestly, the drama says more about the fandom’s expectations than it does about Jimin himself.
And then there’s the elevator video. That grainy little clip that somehow became headline news. It wasn’t shocking, it wasn’t scandalous—it was two people standing in an elevator. That’s it. Yet it was treated like footage from a spy thriller, dissected frame by frame until people were practically trying to lip-read. The only real scandal here is how far people went to invade Jimin’s privacy.
Here’s the reality: Jimin’s past relationship doesn’t change anything about who he is today. He’s still the same artist who pours his soul into his work, the same performer who leaves everything on stage, and the same person who has given more love to ARMY than we could ever return. What he deserves now isn’t gossip—it’s respect.
So let’s wrap this up. Yes, Jimin once dated. No, it’s not current. And no, it’s not our business. The internet can stop pretending this is the plot twist of the century and go back to what really matters: supporting him, loving him, and letting him live like the human being he is.
