A student from Busan recently received a scholarship from funds donated by BTS‘s Jimin.
In April, Jimin quietly donated 100 million won (approximately $88,000 USD) to the Busan Metropolitan City Office of Education. 30 million won (approximately $26,000 USD) of this donation was reportedly sent to his old high school.
Jimin’s donation is helping to fund school food expenses, student welfare, student council activities, and self-regulated classes. It’s also supporting students from low-income families.
On October 3, a recipient posted about her scholarship on Twitter. She wrote, “Getting a scholarship from my singer,” with the comical but true hashtag, #AnExperience90PercentofTwitterMutualsWouldNotHave.
This certificate states that the student was awarded the scholarship for being a model student with a sincere attitude and upright character.
Thanks to Jimin’s generosity and her own hard work, this student can focus on completing her studies, rather than paying for them.
It's so lovely to hear about this kind of news 💜
