It quickly became a meme. Some even commented on the news on other artists’ live broadcasts and took signs to read. “Yoongi, marry me” to events.

ARMYs also theorized where the meme really came from. Kudos to Suga himself…
“Yoongi, Marry Me” had become so popular that many ARMYs even joked that if their performance was right for them, they would wear wedding dresses. SÜGA | TOUR D’AGUST “T-DAY”.

Recently both rm etc v called out commentators on their live broadcasts for grumpy and unoriginal comments.
Namjoon: A lot of people write weird conversations.
🐨 You have changed.
🐨 I think it’s better to do a live without seeing the commentsI hope this is a lesson for some of these Weverse crazies, we need to start cleaning up the cats: pic.twitter.com/OAfm3GmV0r

In the same way, Jungkook decided to stop reading comments during his last live broadcast.
🐰 ah I just won’t see the comments, I’ll turn it off. because every comment is so different. everyone, I do not look at your comments. I don’t want to look at the comments today. 🥺🤏🏻#JUNGKOOK #Jungkooklive pic.twitter.com/3LJ7YQTFIw

ARMYs suspect that one of the reasons for members’ sudden disdain for comments is spam comments, such as: “Yoongi, marry me.”

Is this the fandom army today?
– Lack of flux
-everything expires
– “Yoongi, marry me”
– “jikook”, “taekook”.
-Ships.
-Lack of respect for boys’ privacy.
Guys most ARMYs are big let’s grow up and what happened to JM’s calls? pic.twitter.com/7g4ksTfk4O— 𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐦✞︎ | in his dysphoria he was (@Princeboy_00) April 25, 2023
So some encouraged their ARMY colleagues to give the joke a break. Others have even suggested Weber and direct needs moderators to sort out spam and inappropriate comments so members don’t have to see them.

Some ARMYs took matters into their own hands and reported “Yoongi, marry me” causing him to disappear from the comments of members’ recent live broadcasts.
I like the amount of Yoongi Marry Me comments that disappear before I can even report them.

Likewise, viewers were advised to replace their “Yoongi, marry me” signs with meaningful messages for Suga, given how personal his discography is.

Despite all these efforts to retract “Yoongi, marry me”, does the man in question actually despise him? But on the contrary.
In addition to responding kindly to the meme on multiple occasions, Suga recently revealed that he appreciates “Yoongi, marry me.” While apple music presents, he was asked what his “Favorite or most memorable nickname” for he himself was given to him by ARMY. Instead of choosing a nickname, he mentioned: “Yoongi, marry me.”
