Netizens are discussing reactions to BTS Jimin's news about his past relationship.
On an online forum, netizens pointed out that a portion of Jimin's fans have responded negatively to BigHit Music's statement confirming that he was in a romantic relationship with Song Da Eun. The statement came after speculation grew when the actress posted a video showing the idol at her apartment.
According to the discussion, some fans trended keywords on X such as "Protection of the Other Party," "Protection of Artist," "Strong Legal Action," and "Malicious Slander," tagging BigHit Music’s official accounts and suggesting they take legal action against the actress. They expressed anger at the agency for how it handled the situation, claiming the company revealed unnecessary details about the two celebrities.
The fans collectively wrote in these X posts:
"Even though the artist has suffered severe damage from unauthorized speculation about their private life and malicious slander, the agency is ignoring the protection of the artist and only emphasizing the protection of the other party. We demand that Big Hit/HYBE take immediate and strong legal action under a zero-tolerance policy."
After seeing these posts, one netizen remarked that "people are currently spamming Twitter (X) with this phrase, claiming that Jimin is not being protected while only Song Da Eun is," but added that "others are actually worried that BigHit’s statement will only cause Song Da Eun to be criticized even more."
Many others on the forum agreed that people should "leave the actress alone," and that "if fans had stayed calm," the issue would "never have escalated this much in the first place."
They criticized the portion of Jimin's fans targeting the company as "going overboard" and called it "shocking that these kinds of actions are still happening despite cases with actresses like Kim Sae Ron."
Some netizens argued that since BigHit Music already spoke on behalf of the artist, what remains is for Jimin himself to address the situation. Others added that "everyone is at fault" and that "all sides contributed to the drama," including the fans, the two celebrities, and the company.
Reactions included:
"Fans who bit down relentlessly and blew things up, the ex-girlfriend who escalated things by leaking videos without an official statement, and the singer who stayed silent and let it get bigger are all the same, no different."
"The fans are the ones who blew this up from the start, yet they still haven’t come to their senses. Just get sued already."
"Crazy… if the company sues, what happens to Jimin’s position? Are they basically telling him to choose between the fans or his girlfriend? lol ah…"
"Honestly, if the woman gets angry and leaks more, it’s only Jimin who suffers. But they’re obsessed with making him the kind of guy who sues his ex-girlfriend, it’s insane."
"If Jimin or Hybe actually sued Song Da Eun here, that would be the end of Jimin. The fandom has completely lost it, going crazy pushing for a lawsuit."
"Fans are spamming everywhere calling his ex a hidden camera criminal and demanding a lawsuit, but all that does is make Jimin get more hate. Clearly they were told to shut up, but is their pride more important than Jimin’s reputation?"
"Ugh seriously, why are they like that."
"Fans are so stupid and vicious."
"They’re basically threatening the company to sue her."
"I really hope Song Da Eun goes ahead with a lawsuit ㅠㅠ"
"Disgusting. Why go that far???"
"Please stop harassing the woman, don’t even mention her ㅡㅡ"
"That fandom really isn’t normal, scary."
"If fans had just stayed quiet nothing would have happened. Totally irrational lol. Dating is possible, and they were doing it quietly, but fans had to stalk and torment people. Everyone except the fans looks like the victim here. If fans hadn’t stalked, this wouldn’t have happened. Don’t blame the woman or the agency, blame yourselves."
"The company has released a statement, now all that’s left is for Park Jimin to come forward."
"Seeing what happened with Kim Sae Ron, it feels so stupid. Jimin’s fans should know—his girlfriend looks mentally fragile. Don’t they realize that if they push someone like that to the edge, it could end up like Kim Soo Hyun’s fandom case?"
"Please just leave the woman alone, do you really want to ruin someone’s life?"
"Why are Jimin’s fans acting like this? The company already tried its best to cover for him."
"That statement actually didn’t protect the woman at all, it was just him slipping away on his own."
"I wish Song Da Eun would sue them all."
"How will she ever be compensated for years of suffering over a short relationship?"
"They did date, so what exactly would he be suing for? If he sues, your oppa’s image will be completely ruined beyond repair."
"Fans kept insisting that their relationship was just a delusion, so that actress posted about it. If the two of them had admitted it earlier, it wouldn’t have come to this."
"Usually the artist says something themselves, don’t they..? Of course the agency should release a statement too, but is that really enough..?"
"Just leave the fandom. What are you even doing."
"The company even wrote the statement deliberately vague to protect Jimin so what more do you want."
"This is why it shouldn’t have been the agency’s statement, but him speaking directly."
"Honestly, all Jimin did was date, but fans made him get criticized too. And now they’re still going crazy asking for Song Da Eun to be sued?"
"They must have wished he’d flat-out denied the relationship from the start."
"I think the statement was poor, but the person himself needs to step up first… What on earth is Park Jimin doing, did he dig himself into a hole and disappear from the face of the earth?"
"Leave Song Da Eun alone and go say something to Jimin instead."
