BIGHIT MUSIC has issued a statement clarifying the recent dating rumors involving BTS member Jimin and actress Song Da Eun.
On Sunday, Aug. 31, the agency released the statement days after Song posted a TikTok video of herself waiting at an elevator and greeting Jimin.
“Our company has refrained from making any statements until now in order to respect Jimin’s private life as well as the individual mentioned in relation to it,” BIGHIT MUSIC said.
“However, as speculative reports concerning the artist’s personal life have continued to surface and groundless rumors have been circulating, we find it unavoidable to clarify the bare minimum facts,” the statement added.
The agency explained that Jimin and Song were once acquainted “with mutual affection” in the past but emphasized that they are not currently in a relationship.
BIGHIT MUSIC also urged fans and the public to avoid “reckless speculation” and warned against actions that could cause harm to either party.
Jimin, who debuted with BTS in 2013 under HYBE’s BIGHIT MUSIC label, is currently on a group hiatus as members fulfill their mandatory military service while also pursuing solo projects.
