Once again, the internet has proven it has a disturbing obsession with prying into the private lives of idols, and this time, BTS’s Jimin is at the center of it. The uproar began after actress Song Da Eun allegedly leaked private videos that fueled a fresh wave of dating rumors. And as expected, the reaction was explosive—not because people believe the rumors, but because of how disgustingly invasive this entire situation is.
Let’s be clear: Jimin is not a reality show character. He’s a human being, an artist who has dedicated more than a decade of his life to giving fans unforgettable music and performances. And yet, every time a blurry photo, a half-baked “clue,” or in this case, leaked personal content surfaces, the rumor mill starts spinning like it’s a national sport. Privacy apparently becomes optional the second your name is Park Jimin.
Fans online didn’t hold back their outrage. Many called the alleged leaks a blatant invasion of privacy, pointing out that crossing these boundaries isn’t “shipping” or “curiosity”—it’s harassment. Others questioned why some people are so eager to drag Jimin into baseless gossip when he’s never been anything but respectful, hardworking, and devoted to his craft.
And honestly, why does it always have to be Jimin? Because he’s soft-spoken? Because he radiates kindness? Because his vulnerability makes him an easy target for people looking to stir drama? The pattern is exhausting. Instead of celebrating his artistry or his record-breaking career, the conversation gets hijacked by people who think dating rumors are entertainment.
The sad part is, even if Jimin was dating, it shouldn’t be a scandal. He’s a grown man, not a porcelain doll owned by the public. But to frame him with alleged leaks and spread them for clicks? That’s not fandom—it’s exploitation.
Jimin has earned love, respect, and peace. Not rumor factories built on stolen moments. Not headlines about supposed leaks. And certainly not invasions of his privacy. Until people start respecting the humanity behind the superstar, fans will keep doing what they always do: standing fiercely in his corner, shutting down the noise, and protecting him from those who clearly forgot where the line is.
