BTS‘s Jimin isn’t just famous for his musical prowess; he’s also making waves with his philanthropic endeavors. His recent donation of 100 million KRW to the Chungbuk Provincial Office of Education has become a topic of discussion among ARMY and the general public. 

An official “Public Disclosure Document” revealed that Jimin‘s donation will benefit 10 educational institutions in the province, with each receiving 10 million KRW. The fund targets reading education programs.

Interestingly, Jimin’s father had asked that the donation remain private, emphasizing the genuine intent behind the superstar’s gesture. An official from the Chungbuk Provincial Office of Education said, “We’ll strive to cultivate upright character in students through reading various books so that the donor’s warm heart can be conveyed well.”

This isn’t Jimin‘s first act of generosity. Last year, he made a donation to the Gangwon Education Scholarship Foundation. Recently, he contributed 5 million KRW to Busan‘s Nam District as part of the Hometown Love Donation initiative. It encourages people to donate to local governments, even if they live and work elsewhere. In exchange, donors can avail of tax deductions and get local specialty products. The funds collected go to projects that benefit residents, like those that revitalize local communities and support vulnerable populations.
