For his philanthropic acts, BTS's Jimin receives a letter of donation from the Rotary International President and his name is engraved on Jeollanamdo Education Office Board Hall Of Fame

BTS's Jimin is a star whose heart sympathizes with the plight of the vulnerable in society. His good deeds shine and are never left unnoticed.

On the 6th of October, the Korea Herald reported about the Rotary International President Conference and training session that was held on Tuesday at the K Hotel in Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province. In the session, which was led by the foundation's President, Mr. Shekhar Mehta, the focus of deliberation was on disease prevention. It was also revealed that BTS Member Jimin would on Wednesday receive a letter of appreciation for his ($ 84,000) donation towards the Rotary Foundation for the eradication of polio.



Jimin, who donated the sum towards rotary district number 3590, said he did so in order to ensure that no child suffers from the debilitating disease. Because of this, he was praised by WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus as well as several Rotary international offices. At the conference, the President thanked and encouraged Korean rotary members to keep fighting the disease and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Along with this outstanding achievement, his name was also added to the Jeollanamdo Education office Hall of Fame board as he is one of its most notable contributors. The idol had in July of last year donated a total of 100 Million Korean Won towards the  Jeonnam Future Education Foundation through his father to sponsor the education of South Jeolla students. Jimin is known as the champion for education and has previously donated to his former alma mater, Busan Arts High School and Busan Metropolitan Office of Education.

Park Jimin is indeed a role model who sets good examples with his good deeds, and his fans have often followed suit. In 2020, Fan bases All For Jimin Korea, Adelio, and more were reported to have donated for flood victims affected by torrential rains in South Korea and Lebanon. In 2018, on the occasion of his birthday, Jimin received a certificate of honor from the Korea Red Cross Society because he had inspired more than 700 fans to take part in a blood drive.  Another certificate of appreciation and trophy were given to him in the same year after Peeper donated to the UNICEF Korean committee in his name after he won the individual TOP K-POP Artist award.

Indeed, these meaningful projects go to show the enduring spirit of compassion dwelling within artist and fan. The commitment towards service for the good of all is commendable.

Congratulations JIMIN!
