Global sensation BTS are also known for acts of goodness and charity. With a great fanbase naming ARMY, this group has been using their platforms to show the world their power consistently, from huge charitable donations down to small acts of kindness. Members of BTS have time and again shown that they are committed to giving back to society. Here are some of the most generous moments of BTS:.
Million-Dollar Donation to Black Lives Matter
During June 2020, BTS and Big Hit Entertainment were in the headlines owing to a $1-million donation to the Black Lives Matter movement. This generous act became a powerful declaration of standing shoulder to shoulder with the world against racial injustice. What made that even more powerful was when, less than 24 hours later, BTS’ ARMY matched that donation and added another $1 million to support the cause. A move like this on the part of the Bangtan Boys would mean a commitment to using influence for positive social change.
Love Myself Campaign with UNICEF
Probably one of the most important philanthropic engagements of BTS is the long-running “Love Myself” campaign with UNICEF. The campaign, announced in 2017, has as the premier goal eradicating violence against children and teenagers across tBTShe globe. The band donated quite a big chunk of their album sales and proceeds from concerts for this purpose and have raised millions of dollars over these years. The speech about self-love and kindness deeply touched fans’ hearts and compelled many to spread positivity around them.
Jimin’s Generous Donations to Education
Jimin from BTS has shown personal interest in education through multi-millions of donations to needy schools and students. In 2021 alone, he donated 100 million Korean Won, which is estimated at $84,000 to the Busan Education Office to help students from low-income families. It was not the first time for Jimin to show generosity to the education department since he had previously donated school uniforms to his alma mater and financed scholarships for students.
J-Hope’s Contributions to Child Welfare
J-Hope has continuously been a benefactor to causes that promote the welfare of children. In 2020, he donated 100 million Korean Won to the development of ChildFund Korea for poor children who, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, had not been able to eat well. His selflessness goes beyond just donating money because he often encourages his fans to donate to charitable causes.
From large donations down to personal acts, BTS constantly inspires millions of people of every hue with the level of generosity and compassion.
