A viral video on August 27, 2025, pulled BTS member Jimin and Song Da-eun back into dating talk. The two-minute clip, filmed earlier and once posted on Song’s TikTok, resurfaced across online boards. Viewers pointed out the location appeared close to Jimin’s Seoul home, sparking renewed speculation.

"Whoa, you scared me."

To this, the actress replied,

“Did you know I was coming? I came without telling you on purpose."

Several points have kept the story alive. Their Instagram uploads often drop around the same time. Both were said to be at a soccer match on Song’s birthday, June 14, 2022. Moreover, Song Da-eun later watched Allied, the same movie Jimin once recommended.

According to the speculations, the two celebrities also showed the same liking for plants such as peonies and rubber trees. Both even used the word “Gangyangee,” a blend of the Korean words for dog and cat.

On October 13, 2022, during Jimin’s birthday, Song ran an Instagram Q&A. That same year, she posted from a Jamsil hotel restaurant on the night BTS held its last show at the Olympic Stadium nearby.

Netizens pointed out matching necklaces and a deleted photo of phone cases with both names printed. One clip showed Song’s pet dog in an apartment that fans said looked like Jimin’s home shown in a BTS film.

In May last year, Song Da-eun added an Instagram story with a video that some believed to be showing the K-pop idol. Other uploads showed earphones tagged with both names, selfies in Bangtan items, and short clips viewed as possible links. Pictures from what seemed like the same places added to the claims.

Song Da-eun earlier said she faced hurtful comments from parts of BTS’ fanbase but has never spoken about her ties to Jimin. With neither confirming, the discussion continues only through online buzz.
