Over the years, BTS members have faced numerous dating rumors — some quickly dismissed, others gaining enough traction to spark official responses from their company. With Jimin currently caught up in ongoing speculation about actress Song Da Eun, many fans are revisiting past dating controversies that once stirred the K-pop world.
Jimin × Song Da Eun
Jimin’s name has most often been linked to actress Song Da Eun. The rumors, which have persisted for years, recently resurfaced after she posted a video showing what appeared to be Jimin arriving at her apartment. The clip fueled renewed speculation, making this one of the most enduring rumors surrounding the idol.
V × Jennie (BLACKPINK)
Perhaps the most talked-about dating rumor in K-pop history involved BTS’s V and BLACKPINK’s Jennie. The story began when V accidentally followed Jennie on Instagram, later escalating with alleged leaked photos and videos of the two on outings. While the authenticity of the media has long been debated, the rumors have persisted, with BIGHIT MUSIC addressing them indirectly to push back against speculation.
RM × Wealthy Non-Celebrity
In 2022, a YouTube channel alleged that RM was dating a wealthy non-celebrity, citing “evidence” such as matching items and supposed museum visits. BIGHIT MUSIC swiftly denied the claims, calling them baseless. RM also personally clarified on Weverse that he didn’t even know the woman, putting the rumor to rest.
Suga × Suran
Back in 2017, after Suga produced Suran’s hit track Wine, the pair’s interactions led to speculation that they were romantically involved. The rumors escalated to the point where Suran received harassment online, forcing her to publicly deny the claims. This incident prompted BIGHIT’s very first official statement regarding a dating scandal, marking it as BTS’s earliest “serious” rumor.
Jungkook × Tattoo Artist Lee Mi Joo
In 2019, photos of Jungkook hugging a woman — later identified as tattoo artist Lee Mi Joo — ignited relationship rumors. BIGHIT clarified that Jungkook was simply spending time with friends while on vacation at Geoje Island and that the situation had been distorted. The company also announced plans for legal action against those spreading false claims. Lee Mi Joo herself denied the relationship rumors, stressing they were close friends and nothing more.
While BTS’s dating rumors have varied in credibility, they highlight the intense scrutiny that comes with global stardom. In most cases, BIGHIT MUSIC has been quick to deny unfounded claims, showing how seriously the company takes protecting its artists’ reputations.
