Jimin, through his positive influence and impact, continues to set a perfect example to the fans. Jimin advocates positivity and hope during this difficult time and the fans follow. "The heart of Easter is giving to others"
On April 3, BTS’s main dancer and lead vocalist Park Jimin’s fanbases in the USA, Park Jimin USA @ParkJiminUSA95 and Jimin Data @PJM_data spearheaded an exciting Virtual Easter Event. The event is one meaningful way of celebrating Easter while likewise celebrating Korea’s #1 Top Idol, Park Jimin.
The event involved fun games which other fans worldwide could participate in like Easter Eggie Hunting and Jimin Bingo and the lucky ones have won some awesome prizes.
Nevertheless, the bigger purpose of the event was fulfilled which is to help spread positivity and hope at these trying times. The highlight of the event is some good cause. Fanbase Park Jimin USA donated under Park Jimin’s name to two charities such as Save the Children and UNICEF USA for the children affected by the crises in Myanmar and Yemen. The fanbase also encouraged other fans to contribute to helping those children.
According to Park Jimin USA, “The heart of Easter is giving to others.”
The donation to Save the Children charity under Park Jimin’s name will go to children’s Emergency Fund which provides support to children and families in Myanmar who have been harmed by the deadly violence since the conflict began.
On the other hand, the donation to UNICEF USA under Park Jimin’s name will help children in Yemen where there is the largest humanitarian crisis in the world. Children continued to be killed and maimed in the conflict while schools and hospitals were either closed or damaged which disrupted children’s access to education and health services, leaving them more vulnerable and robbing them of their future.
This is not the first time that fans of BTS’s Jimin have joined forces to donate and support meaningful causes under Jimin’s name. Earlier news about fans donation have spread such as support to flood victims in Korea; assistance to the victims of a disaster in Beirut, Lebanon; donation to the victims of super typhoon in the Philippines; blood donation to honor Jimin’s birthday; mangrove trees to a town in Indonesia; assistance to support local single mother of three in Saudi Arabia; donation to pediatric cancer patients; donation to animal rescue organizations; donation of 709kg of rice for the children suffering from Corona19 virus and many others more.
Just recently, the fans also worked together in order to make Jimin the 139th Charity Fairy on his 9300th day and 500,000 Korean won is donated to aid persons especially children with physical and mental disabilities.
These generous actions and donations were influenced by Jimin’s donations that he has shown fans throughout the years. Jimin is known for his own good deeds and for numerous donations he has made to worthy causes. Jimin does it silently which means some of his donations might have not been publicly known. Jimin’s continuous act of donating has also influenced others including fans to donate or work together to raise money and donate it under his name in many occasions.
It can be remembered in August 2020, it was reported late that Jimin made a generous donation of 100 million won to the students of Jeolla province. This sum which Jimin donated shall be established as BTS Jimin Scholarship which amounts to 108 million won and for three years will be used to fund outstanding talents in the art field in Jeonnam.
Last February 9, 2020, Jimin changed all the desks to benefit 1,200 students at Busan Arts High School. He also bequeathed 100 million won to the Busan Metropolitan City Office of Education on April 2019.
The thoughtfulness, gestures and care exhibited by fans from around the world just prove to show how huge and impactful Jimin’s influence and power is to fans.
Thank you for the donation
