KUALA LUMPUR: Singer Jimin of K-Pop kings BTS and South Korean actress Song Da-Eun have landed in yet another romance rumour.
The Korea Herald reported yesterday that this came after Song shared videos and photos on social media last May 16 which made netizens believe that they were in a relationship.
The 32-year-old actress posted on Instagram a video of a man who was concealed by an emoji, walking along a pier.
Netizens speculated that the seaside spot was the same location visited by Jimin, 28, in the video (Bangtan Bomb) A Boisterous Shooting Of 3J – BTS, released on the boy band's official YouTube channel in April 2020.
Song also uploaded a video of a living room which BTS fands described as identical to that of Jimin's house, especially the carpet and sofa.
There were also photos of Song wearing a BTS T-shirt, and matching AirPod cases inscribed with "Daeun" and "Jimin".
The actress removed the posts after they went viral and was criticised by netizens for fuelling the romance rumours.
Jimin's label BigHit Music has declined to comment on the rumours.
The duo were first rumoured to be dating in 2023, but Song refuted it on her Instagram in October that year.
She said: "Please don't ask me about the affairs of a third party. I am merely a big fan of BTS."
Song rose to fame in 2018 through the South Korean reality show Heart Signal: Season 2.
She was also in the television series Dear My Room (2018) and Once Again (2020).
Jimin or Park Ji-Min enlisted in the South Korean military in December 2023 and is expected to be discharged in June 2025.
