It didn't take long for the news to spread.
Barely thirty minutes after the press conference ended, several entertainment news outlets had already published reports about Yoongi's announcement.
The photographs from the previous day were everywhere, but this time, the headlines carried something more definite. Yoongi had confirmed the relationship himself.
On one popular Korean entertainment news website, the headline read:
BREAKING: BTS' SUGA CONFIRMS RELATIONSHIP WITH MYSTERY WOMAN AT PRESS CONFERENCE.
Another outlet published:
MIN YOONGI REVEALS GIRLFRIEND IS SEVEN MONTHS PREGNANT WITH TWINS.
A third headline attracted even more attention:
BTS' SUGA TO BECOME A FATHER OF TWO: IDOL CONFIRMS HE IS EXPECTING TWINS, A BOY AND A GIRL.
Within minutes, the reports were being shared across social media.
Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and online fan communities were flooded with screenshots of the headlines and clips from the press conference.
The short video of Yoongi saying, "She is my girlfriend," quickly became one of the most shared clips.
People were also sharing the moment he smiled while explaining how they had met.
For some fans, that smile said more than his words.
On Twitter, the reactions came pouring in.
@yoongiswife:
"HE SAID SHE IS HIS GIRLFRIEND. HE ACTUALLY SAID IT HIMSELF. I'M STILL TRYING TO PROCESS THIS."
@minpdnim:
"Yoongi smiling while talking about how they met. I've never seen him look so comfortable answering questions about his personal life. I'm happy for him."
@purpleheart7:
"He's thirty-two years old. Why are people behaving as if he's not allowed to have a relationship? Let the man live his life."
@sugasnow:
"Two babies? A BOY AND A GIRL? Congratulations, Yoongi! I'm genuinely happy for him."
@winterbear_army:
"I wasn't expecting this announcement today, but seeing him confirm everything himself makes me happy. I hope his girlfriend and the babies are healthy."
Not everyone shared the same excitement.
Some fans were clearly unhappy about the announcement, and a few began posting negative comments about Seo-yeon.
@onlyminyoongi:
"I don't understand why he had to make his relationship public. I wish he had kept this private."
@suga_forever:
"I can't believe this is happening. I've supported him for years, and now he's having children with someone I don't even know."
@purplemoon:
"Who is she? How did she meet him? I need to know more about this woman."
A few comments went further, with some users directing insults at Seo-yeon and blaming her for Yoongi's decision to speak publicly.
However, other fans quickly pushed back.
@armyforever_ot7:
"Some of you need to remember that she's a human being. You don't have to like the news, but you have no right to insult her."
@namgi_hope:
"Yoongi stood in front of the cameras and called her his girlfriend. He confirmed the pregnancy and the twins. Why are you attacking her instead of respecting his decision?"
@min_suga:
"He looked happy talking about her. That's enough for me. I hope they have a peaceful life together."
On Instagram, entertainment pages began posting pictures from the press conference alongside the photographs taken during the shopping trip.
One page uploaded a picture of Yoongi standing beside the chairman, with the caption:
"BTS' SUGA CONFIRMS HIS RELATIONSHIP AND REVEALS THAT HE AND HIS GIRLFRIEND ARE EXPECTING TWINS. THE IDOL ALSO SHARED THAT THEY MET AT A CLUB AND EVENTUALLY FELL IN LOVE."
The comment section quickly filled up.
"Wait, he met her at a club?"
"Imagine meeting your favourite idol somewhere unexpected and eventually becoming his girlfriend."
"She was an ARMY? That's actually interesting."
"Seven months already? They're going to welcome the babies soon!"
"He's going to be a father. I hope he enjoys every moment of it."
Another user commented:
"I love how he didn't look embarrassed when he talked about her. He was smiling the entire time."
The comment received thousands of likes.
Meanwhile, TikTok users began uploading edits from the press conference. Some combined the clip of Yoongi announcing that Seo-yeon was his girlfriend with the moment he revealed they were expecting twins.
One video had already gathered millions of views.
Its caption read:
"From being an ARMY to becoming SUGA's girlfriend and the mother of his twins. What a story!"
The video attracted thousands of comments.
Some users congratulated the couple, while others wanted to know more about Seo-yeon.
A few international entertainment websites also picked up the story.
Their headlines included:
"BTS' SUGA CONFIRMS GIRLFRIEND, REVEALS THEY ARE EXPECTING TWINS."
"MIN YOONGI OPENS UP ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP DURING PRESS CONFERENCE."
"ARMY REACTS AS SUGA PREPARES TO WELCOME TWINS WITH GIRLFRIEND."
By lunchtime, Yoongi's name was trending in several countries.
His announcement had become one of the biggest entertainment stories of the day.
While some fans were still trying to accept the news, others were already discussing what his life would be like as a father.
One popular fan account posted:
"Can you imagine Yoongi holding two little babies? A boy and a girl. I think he's going to be such a loving father."
Another fan replied:
"I can already imagine him buying little guitars for them."
Someone else wrote:
"Please, let him enjoy his family. He has given us so much music over the years. He deserves happiness too."
Not every discussion was positive, but the supportive comments continued to grow.
For many fans, the most important part of the announcement was that Yoongi had chosen to speak for himself rather than allow rumours to tell his story.
And now, everyone knew that the woman in the photographs was not just someone he had gone shopping with.
She was his girlfriend, and they were expecting two children together.
