BTS's Jimin and actress Song Da Eun have been at the center of some hot dating rumors, but now there's another twist! Did Song Da Eun really date former BIGBANG member Seungri?

On May 23, Song Da Eun, famous for her stint on the dating reality show 'Heart Signal,' took to a live stream to address the swirling gossip.

When a bold netizen asked if she was ever Seungri's girlfriend, she replied with a firm, "Nope. I'm not his ex-girlfriend."

These rumors didn't come out of nowhere. Back in 2019, Song Da Eun's name was dragged into Seungri's notorious 'Burning Sun' scandal. Her reps quickly cleared the air back then, stating, "Song and Seungri were close since their school days, but the rumors have been blown out of proportion, which is really upsetting for them."

They also revealed that Song Da Eun worked part-time at Seungri's other nightclub, Monkey Museum, for about a month in 2016. "He probably asked her for help because they were friends. Later, he just invited her to the first anniversary event for Monkey Museum," her reps added.

Meanwhile, Jimin and Song Da Eun's dating rumors have been heating up after fans speculated that she dropped some hints about their relationship on social media.

As of now, BTS's label HYBE has remained silent on these rumors.

Stay tuned to allkpop for the latest updates!

Lee Kyung Gyu's star-making influence goes beyond Kang Ho Dong, as Hong Jin Kyung shares how he helped her kickstart her career.

On the April 24 episode of KBS 2TV’s Problem Child in House, legendary comedian Lee Kyung Gyu appeared as a guest—and a touching story from the past was revealed.

Hong Jin Kyung surprised everyone when she said, “He’s the teacher for all of us. Personally, he’s the one who helped me debut.” She even pinned a carnation flower on his chest to show her gratitude.

Lee Kyung Gyu smiled and said, “I still remember when Hong Jin Kyung walked up the stairs onto the stage for the first time.”

Hong Jin Kyung then shared her journey to becoming a star. “I joined a supermodel contest, but only the top 3 winners were noticed in broadcasting. I got a special prize, so I had no chance to be on TV."

She continued, "At first, I was just a backup for a show. But somehow, I became a regular the next week. I never knew why."

She added, "I thought the PD gave me a shot. But then one day, I randomly met Kyung Gyu sunbae, and he told me it was actually him who recommended me.”

Kim Sook asked with a smile, “So Kyung Gyu sunbae said nice things about you to the PD?”

Lee Kyung Gyu playfully replied, “Don’t say it in such a childish way,” making everyone laugh.

He then explained more seriously, “The show was Scoop TV Entertainment, and I was pretty much the main MC. When Jin Kyung showed up, I saw her determination and passion."

He added, "While others didn’t seem serious, she really stood out. I told the PD, ‘She seems unique. Why not keep her on the show?’”

Kim Jong Kook chimed in, “So if the main MC said that, doesn’t that mean you basically got her in?”

That made Lee Kyung Gyu happy. He grinned and replied, “Exactly! You speak well. Be like him!”

He added, “After that, Jin Kyung’s career took off. She started doing shows with Lee Young Ja and just kept going.”

Fans are now calling Lee Kyung Gyu not only a top MC, but also a quiet star-maker behind the scenes!
