According to Big Hit Music, the company initially refrained from commenting on the issue “out of respect for Jimin’s personal life” and for Song.
“However, since many speculative reports regarding [Jimin’s] private life, as well as false rumours, have arisen, we are making a statement to clarify the facts.”
“[Jimin] and the individual had mutual feelings and a connection, but that was several years ago and they are not in a relationship now.
“We ask that you refrain from making reckless speculations about his private life. We also request that you refrain from actions that could cause harm to [Jimin and Song].”
This marks the first time that Big Hit Music has confirmed a dating rumour surrounding a BTS member.
