Regarding donations, Jimin's fans have a history of diverse charitable activities. In collaboration with the Korean Red Cross Seoul Central Blood Center, they carried out a blood donation relay project. They collected and donated 585 blood donation certificates, and the Korean Red Cross awarded Jimin an honorary director title for his contribution to spreading blood donation culture and encouraging donations. Additionally, donations from international fans have poured in for organizations such as the Seungil Hope Foundation, the Korea Pediatric Cancer Foundation, and animal protection groups. Chinese fans sponsored movie screenings for underprivileged children at CGV cinemas. Fans in Vietnam and Uruguay have also made donations for disadvantaged children and children with autism. Simply liking a star is not the end; helping others in their name may also be a wonderful way to support a star.
