“We've traumatized them with "Yoongi marry me"” — Fans hilariously react as BTS j-hope’s reaction to ARMY getting proposed at HOTS concert goes viral

At the final show of BTS j-hope's HOPE ON THE STAGE (HOTS) concert series in Seoul on March 2, 2025, a surprising event occurred that has since gone viral. During the post-show farewell gathering, a fan received an unexpected marriage proposal right in front of her favorite star, j-hope, who was busy signing autographs for fans.

While signing autographs and chatting with fans, a man's voice rang out from the crowd asking,

"Will you marry me?"

The sudden proposal captured everyone's attention, including j-hope, who paused to witness the moment. His face lit up with joy as he watched the girl say "yes" to the proposal. j-hope joined in with all the other fans, clapping excitedly to cheer for the now-engaged couple.

Many celebrated the couple's special moment and admired the unique proposal setting. One fan playfully referenced the famous "Yoongi marry me" catchphrase among BTS fans, where they often propose to BTS's Suga (Yoongi) to marry them. The fan wrote:

"My glitched for a sec...we've traumatized them with "Yoongi marry me""

Some humorously commented on the timing, joking that proposing in front of j-hope might not lead to the desired "yes" because of divided attention.

"If you propose to me in front of the love of my life, I’m acting like I’ve never seen you in my life," a fan wrote.

"I'd break up with him immediately like hobi i dont know this man haha ignore him hes insane hes a stranger ur so cute aha," another fan joked.

"If you propose to me in front of bts I'm saying no," another fan added.

Others joined in on the fun, sharing how they would have reacted to receiving a marriage proposal in front of j-hope or any other BTS member.

"Bro I would take that ring and give it to hobi," a fan commented.

"I’d pretend I don’t even know this man and he’s insane...Like how dare he ruin my chances of Hobi noticing me in the crowd???" another fan said.

"I would have said ew no and changed the whole trajectory of their lives btw," another fan joked.
