When the tweet was posted…
I will always be proud of this man. If you were able to follow him since the beginning, you should know he’s such a family guy! He provides for his family. He enjoys being a father to his kid. Anyone who’d say otherwise probably has one brain cell left. You definitely need to see… pic.twitter.com/9H6ErwkOrD

Netizens couldn’t hide their soft feelings towards the fancall. While many loved how open Bobby was, others hoped that it made the topic of relationships and family less of a taboo within K-Pop
I personally don’t know him but I am truly happy for him. I hope the idols who eventually ventures into familyhood would experience this kind of support from their fans. They are humans too and deserves to experience building a happy family when they’re ready. https://t.co/0BFJZlmKTE
