BTS’s Jimin is embroiled in controversy after his alleged girlfriend Song Da Eun posted a video of him arriving at their shared Hannam91 apartment.
The clip shows Song picking up Jimin from an elevator and surprising him. Fans exploded in anger, accusing Song of invading Jimin’s privacy by sharing the footage publicly. Song says she posted the video out of frustration after nearly four years of being “tormented” by BTS fans.
Fans have aggressively targeted Song, demanding she take legal responsibility for her actions.
Legal expert on the situation:
“Posting something without the other party’s agreement = illegal. Even public figures strictly are under protection by the laws of privacy. I hope that they protect the artist deal with her by 1) emergency injunction, 2) lawsuit for slander, 3) civil suit for compensation in damages (violation of portraiture rights, invasion of privacy).”
Keywords like “legal action to protect,” “violation of portraiture rights,” and “emergency injunction” trended on X (Twitter) as fans pushed for legal measures.
Meanwhile, netizens are criticizing Jimin’s fanbase for their harsh treatment of Song.
Comments include:
- “Feels like we’ve returned to the H.O.T and Sechskies era.”
- “This is totally a case of fans playing victims when they’re the perpetrators. They’re so evil LOL.”
- “Who is Jimin such that he’s hiding behind his girlfriend and fans? His girlfriend and fans are all suffering, but he’s not said a thing LOL. What a wuss.”
Netizens suggest Jimin’s fans started the attacks even before Song’s video surfaced and are now sympathizing with Song more than with Jimin or ARMY.
The situation is still developing as backlash intensifies on social media.
