BTS's Suga Makes Historic Donation of 5 Billion Won for Autism Treatment Center

Members of BTS (방탄소년단) have once again demonstrated their commitment to making a positive impact, with Suga (민윤기) leading the way through a remarkable donation. Recently, he contributed 5 billion won, the highest amount ever donated by a South Korean artist, to establish a specialized treatment center for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder in collaboration with Severance Hospital.

This generous donation marks a significant milestone, as it is the largest sum given by an individual artist to Yonsei Medical Center. Suga's contribution goes beyond mere financial support; he has shown a long-standing interest in mental health issues and child psychiatry, actively participating in the development of treatment programs. One such initiative, the 'MIND Program,' was created to help children express their emotions and social skills through music, with Suga engaging directly with the children during the process.

Suga's recent act of kindness follows a similar gesture from fellow member Jungkook (정국), who donated 1 billion won in March to aid wildfire recovery efforts and support firefighters. Jungkook's donation, facilitated through the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association, is intended for emergency relief for affected residents and improving conditions for firefighters.

At that time, Jungkook expressed his hope that his contribution would provide some assistance and help those in distress return to their normal lives as soon as possible. He has also quietly continued his philanthropic efforts, previously donating 1 billion won to Seoul National University Children's Hospital to support treatment for low-income families.

With Suga's astounding donation of 5 billion won, he has set a new benchmark, symbolizing the deep connection and commitment an artist can have with the world. By directly participating in the treatment center and using his musical talents to connect with children, Suga is not just a superstar on stage but also a catalyst for change, writing a new chapter in his legacy.

The members of BTS, who have already made waves globally under their group name, are now individually warming the world with their personal contributions.
