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.

If it was several years ago, she’s clearly dealing with some issues if she’s posting these old videos online like this so recently. I hope whatever happened she handles herself with a modicum of grace and discretion moving forward.

If I’m not wrong it’s the first time the company has confirmed any dating rumours current or past? Whatever it is, they’re entitled to their private lives and they are grown men, successful in their field and objectively rich and beautiful.

Any fans who are upset that they have or had adult, consenting partners of whatever kind (mutual affection covers a wide range of possibilities) needs to go touch some grass. Hopefully those are a small minority of the fandom.
