Surprisingly, the tweet has started regaining attention, with some Korean fans finding the thread, and garnering attention for very different reactions.

It’s really touching that he’s dating a member of Bae Chil-sam and not a top idol. He really loves her. https://t.co/CRaZ9sIsdA

The fact that he’s not dating a top idol, but some BAE173 member, is honestly really touching… You must really love him.

I’m so disappointed, Subin. If you were born a man, it’s natural to like women. Homosexuality is a sin. Repent. https://t.co/IpJQQBVWQR

I’m really disappointed in you, Soobin. If you were born a man, it’s natural to like women. Homosexuality is a sin. Repent.

International fans, many of whom were already aware of the viral thread from 2025, shared their own reactions. Some hit back at the “delulu” state of the OP, and that it is just a friendship between two male idols, while some joked that the “investigation” was so thorough, it looked legitimate.

i believe this because who would go out of their way to make rumours of soobin and a bae173 member like who even knows bae173 https://t.co/JsydJXNl5A

idk y’all feel like they wouldn’t be THIS open about couple items and hotel rooms if they are actually dating 😬 https://t.co/lUDXCTdpV2

For the sheep minded people in the quotes believing this, this is a mentally ill shipper who has been harassing SB for months now and is using Yoojun as a pawn to prove their ship through him by trying to forcibly out them. They’re not an ally, nor do they care about these two. https://t.co/Ek9ixCziI3
