Former BIGBANG Member T.O.P Revealed To Be Babsang Community Briquette Bank’s Anonymous Donor
On December 19, Babsang Community Briquette Bank received a remarkable and anonymous donation of 12,000 briquettes, a heartwarming act that gained attention not only for its substantial impact but also for the mystery surrounding the generous benefactor. Later revealed to be former BIGBANG member T.O.P, the donation came as a surprise to the public, showcasing T.O.P’s commitment to philanthropy and community support.
The donation, made through T.O.P’s account on the Briquette Bank website, exemplifies the artist’s desire to contribute positively to society without seeking recognition. T.O.P’s decision to remain anonymous aligns with his low-key approach to charity, emphasizing the sincerity and altruistic intent behind his actions.
The briquettes, which serve as a vital heat source for households during the winter, will be distributed to those in need by Babsang Community Briquette Bank. The bank plans to distribute the 12,000 briquettes to various households facing challenges, with a focus on providing support during the year-end period, marked by high inflation and rising oil prices.
How T.O.P Managed to Make an Anonymous Donation
The source of T.O.P’s donation was revealed to be the proceeds from his wine brand ‘T’SPOT,’ launched in January of the previous year. This connection adds a meaningful dimension to the contribution, as it demonstrates T.O.P’s commitment to leveraging his ventures for the greater good.

CEO Heo Ki Bok of Babsang Community Briquette Bank acknowledged the challenging circumstances faced by many households and emphasized the ongoing need for support. He expressed gratitude for T.O.P’s donation and underscored the bank’s ongoing goal to distribute an additional 500,000 briquettes to reach a total of 3 million for the year.

T.O.P’s generous donation not only provides tangible assistance to those in need but also highlights the positive impact that individuals, especially public figures, can have on their communities when they choose to give back. The act also serves as a reminder of the importance of compassion and solidarity, particularly during challenging times.
