On May 23, Song Da Eun, a former dating show contestant who recently made headlines due to rumors of her dating BTS's Jimin, addressed allegations linking her to disgraced K-Pop idol Seungri.

During a livestream, a netizen posed the question, "Are you Seungri’s ex-girlfriend?" Song Da Eun’s response was direct and unequivocal: "Nope."

The rumors about Song Da Eun and Seungri gained traction from her alleged involvement in the infamous Burning Sun scandal. Reports suggested that Song Da Eun had a history with Seungri, having known him since her student days.

She was purportedly helping out at his controversial club, Monkey Museum, which was implicated in numerous illegal activities, including drug distribution and sexual assault.

Song Da Eun’s connection to the Burning Sun scandal has been a point of contention since the scandal first broke.

At the time, her representative issued a statement clarifying her involvement, asserting that Song Da Eun was not romantically involved with Seungri but merely assisting at the club due to her long-standing acquaintance with him.

Despite this clarification, the shadow of the Burning Sun scandal has lingered over Song Da Eun, especially in light of her recent association with BTS’s Jimin.

The allegations re-emerged, casting a cloud over her burgeoning relationship with the K-Pop superstar.

During the same livestream, Song Da Eun chose not to comment on her rumored relationship with Jimin. The speculation began after she uploaded several posts hinting at a romantic involvement with the BTS member, causing a stir among fans and media alike.

Her silence on the matter has only fueled further speculation. Fans are eagerly awaiting any confirmation or denial from either party, but until then, the rumors continue to swirl.

The public’s reaction to Song Da Eun’s denial has been mixed. While some netizens express relief at her clarification, others remain skeptical, questioning the timing and context of her involvement with Seungri.

NETIZENS' COMMENTS

Here's what fans are saying:

• If it's really true, I'm disappointed in Jimin. I know she's attractive, so we met, but she's not considerate at all, she treats Ami too funny, and makes me worry so much about cheating, so fck her.'
• 'If you look at the personal photos posted by Song Da-eun, it is true that there is a lot of overlap (Airpods, home environment, rugs, unique air purifiers, tables, curtains, plates, pots, and even pot holders... the probability is the same,,) There is no way a fan would not know that. When people ask about their relationship, he avoids answering like this time or tells them to ask Jimin, but he doesn't say no like Seungri.'
• 'No, he posted all the photos and showed off all the T-shirts, but then passed it on and said he didn't know if they would ask a third party to ask. If that's the case, then why did he show the T-shirts? You want to show off and want Jimin to reveal it?? But look at their actions, they are so immature and inconsiderate. The other person is a real top idol, but if they were a real couple, they don't care one bit about Jimin or the fans.. Jimin, I am your fan and I really support you dating, but honestly. I want to completely oppose such an inconsiderate woman.'

On social media, discussions about her relationship with Jimin are rife with both support and criticism.
