Finally, bighit. Now let us all shut up, and live in peace. Borahae.

Okay! There we go! Now can people stop harassing both 😭
I still think the whole situation is weird like why post it? but let’s all move on guys. We shouldn’t give a shit about his love life in anyway.

the full statement from bighit:
> Our company has refrained from making any statements until now in order to respect Jimin’s private life as well as the individual being mentioned in relation to it.
However, as speculative reports concerning the artist’s personal life have continued to surface and groundless rumors have been circulating, we find it unavoidable to clarify the bare minimum facts.
The artist and the individual in question were once acquainted with mutual affection in the past, but that was several years ago, and they are not in a relationship at present.
We ask that you refrain from making reckless speculations about their private lives. We earnestly request that you also refrain from any actions that could cause harm to the individual who is being mentioned alongside the artist.

Honestly, it’s exhausting and infuriating that these grown-ass adults still have to ask permission to have a past, or explain the most basic, private things about their lives to total strangers. Jimin (or anyone) shouldn’t have to put out an official statement just because a segment of the fandom can’t mind their own business. If anything, it only encourages the most entitled behavior. “Oh, if we dig and harass and speculate enough, they’ll eventually respond!” It’s gross.
It’s not only not fans’ business, it’s also a form of control. Demanding clarification, making them account for their emotions, their friendships, their romantic histories, it’s all so invasive. It’s not love. It’s ownership dressed up as “concern” or “loyalty.”
I get why the company did it. If they don’t, the speculation snowballs and people start harassing not just Jimin, but also the woman involved, and then it becomes a circus. So they try to shut it down cleanly, but the fact that it’s necessary at all is just another sign that idol culture (and parasocial culture generally) needs to grow up.

Youtuber Ben Kim summed It up best when he said “Privacy” end quote. This was in relation to the whole basically sh*t storm this has caused. He is a human first, idol second.
Also do people really think they don’t date and basically live link monks? It isn’t any of our business what they do in their private lives. I have no interest in knowing anything other than they are happy, healthy and when is the tour happening? Also, the album is going to be a banger!

It sucks that they even had to post this. I’m sure kpop fans who don’t claim to be fans will be very normal about this
I will say, it’s still weird she was posting a 5yo video randomly and without his consent… And kpop fans cared more about a relationship than a violation of privacy… But it is what it is I guess.
zikachhakchhuak on
Wow I found this very upsetting to read 🙁 I saw discussions about this pop up on my reddit feed from other kpop subs a few days ago but promptly muted them since it all seemed very invasive and speculative. My twitter timeline has been clean except for a few vague tweets asking to respect the members’ privacy. And I thought that’s that, that people would move on.
I am shocked and disappointed that it may not have blown over like I assumed it would? Is there a lot of ongoing harassment to the point of requiring Bighit to release a statement? That too about a years old relationship that has ended. Most of all, that this happened to Jimin who is one of the most careful about maintaining his personal life and keeping things private. I really hope he’s doing okay and that people leave him alone.
With that said, this is a pretty clear and concise statement that I hope people will accept and MOVE ON.
manicmiracles on
Somehow I don’t think confirming there was a relationship years ago is going to lessen the harassment for her?
alltherach_ on
i hate that jimin was basically forced to admit he was in a relationship because of all the rumours and speculation. their private lives should just be that – private. they don’t owe us anything.
i hope people can let the matter rest now.
PoetrySuper2583 on
Wow a BTS first – really outside of BH’s typical style for this. Hopefully everyone can move forward from this now that it’s been clarified.
HopHope98 on
I feel so sad for him that his privacy had to be invaded this way. They don’t deserve this. They deserve way better, but some “fans” just don’t get letting them have a private life.
interstellararabella on
It was basically, THERE GODDAMIT MOVE ON.
Acquainted with mutual affection is a new way of describing it I feel like.
I still don’t understand her angle. Maybe she was hacked? Idk.
Difficult_Deer6902 on
I do like that it’s just a statement vs. apology type situation, but I do think this wont fully stop this women’s imo inappropriate/attention seeking behavior which is truly a shame. Nobody, celebrity or regular degular commoner, should have to deal with a this type of ongoing behavior from an ex-acquaintance…
gogocostume on
I find her behavior so odd. Still, it was my experience that most army were respectful of BTS privacy. The negative chatter, as always, mostly came from the outside and some delusional souls. Whatever, ANYWAY, back to streaming and saving up for 2026! (Not rn tho, it’s 3 am, goodnight💜)
phoenixwinged on
I’ll just hope everyone who acted weird about this (for whatever reason) can stop being weird and keep it moving 🚶their personal lives ain’t my or anyone’s business
jelly070 on
Is it just me or is this statement kinda off? I would’ve thought they’d have a more strong statement (if any statement at all) about protecting the artists’ privacy and taking action against spreading of private info or something, not confirming speculations/rumours. Idk.
AmphibianWaste5205 on
Oh so that’s what my Twitter timeline has been about! It was filled with things like reporting people for privacy violations and just a lot more love for Jimin than usual, but reasons weren’t being mentioned at all.. I also posted a few things I love about Jimin and left it at that. And now I understand that ARMY were trying to drown out these unnecessary stuff! I really wish BH didn’t say anything, but then again for them to say something, Jimin must have really been bothered by it!
ETA: SHE released a video? Poor poor Jimin!
bangtanssea on
it really sucks that he had to confirm his past relationship in this way, but i think it was a good move. she obviously was trying to provoke him/provoke conversation about their relationship, this draws a line under it and takes away her power to hold this over him.
i see people wanting BH to sue but i don’t think they’ll do it. It was a past relationship and (very unfairly) i think they’ll consider the optics of it and we also don’t know how mentally stable that lady is.
anyways i hope everyone can just move on from this, i don’t want to hear a single apology from him and don’t need him to ever address this again.
dsvk on
I’m not blaming bighit for making this statement since they / jimin have more context than we ever will about why they consider it was necessary.
But I, with no insider knowledge, genuinely don’t understand why the statement was required at all or what it resolves. Why did he HAVE to admit anything about his past or present private life? How does this statement make anything better for Jimin? If it was purely to appease “us”, the (deranged element of the) fandom I’m so very sad and disappointed for him.
It might be petty of me but I do hope that woman never works again as an actor or in any role with a public spotlight since she craves it so much.

Jimin deserves better. Hope he is okay
naimagonzalez on
Jimin is such a sweet person. My main worry about any relationship confirmation was how awful it would be for the woman involved and statements denying it usually makes fans say the most awful things; As an example, the Suran situation left a bad taste in my mouth. This statement shows he really valued her and cares to some degree as he is addressing the recent rumours but making special mention to not harm the harm the other person.
That said, it’s still super weird and not okay to post an old video about an ex especially if they have been over for a number of years. That’s so wrong on so many levels and a major breach of privacy especially since Jimin is known to be extremely private. I don’t know what circumstances led her to do that but if her ex person doesn’t blame her for it then I guess it’s time for us all to move on.

Forced to admit a past relationship, and not on his own terms, just because the media and obsessed “fans” can’t shut up about a stalkerish ex who, imo, violated his privacy
It’s infuriating and sad at the same time
thebanphrionsa on
jimin will never be the bad guy ppl want him to be. i have no doubt this statement was heavily consulted about this statement and he could have thrown her under the bus for her recent behavior for violating his privacy and trust but he didn’t. i hope ppl stop giving her attention now that this statement has been issued.
Soup_oi on
Where do we go to see this official statement from BH directly? I wanted to read the official statement from them directly, but when I go to weverse there is no [notice] sort of notification at all.
I’m also low key proud of them for how they worded whatever past connection the two had, because it still keeps it kind of vague, and does not give away any real details about what type of connection it was, thus we have no way of knowing if it was some serious relationship, or if they just happened to enjoy each others company the most in a group of mutual friends.
While I’m thankful for the statement, for me the issue still kind of persists… It clears up Jimin’s side, but I really had no concern or curiosity for the “whys” from Jimin’s side, as I’ve always felt about all the members for the most part “I’ll wait to care more about it for whenever they might say anything about it directly themselves.” But for some reason I couldn’t help but always wonder “why though?” about the other person doing what they were doing, and this statement has not cleared that up at all for me unfortunately, and I still do not understand at all why she did any of what she had been doing. Not that I need a statement from her, nor to know how the two eventually un-connected from each other, which could have effected her next moves. But this statement still just doesn’t stop my brain from being like “why though?” about her actions, as my brain does about anyone’s actions that I don’t fully grasp the purpose or end goal of lol.
