BTS' Jimin has donated 100 million won ($72,647.24 USD) in scholarships to the Gyeongnam Office of Education.
On May 30, an official from the Provincial Office of Education revealed Jimin's father had made the donation on his behalf. The official stated, "Singer Jimin spent his school days in Busan and has no direct connection to Gyeongnam, but we understand he made the donation with pure intentions for students in the province."
Jimin has been donating scholarships and books for students from low-income families to offices of education in cities like Busan and Jeonnam since 2019. His latest donation will be used for scholarships for students from low-income families in the province through the Gyeongsangnam-do Future Education Foundation, an organization funded by the Provincial Office of Education.
