Following the idol group Seventeen, BTS member Jungkook is also making headlines with a donation of 1 billion won, showcasing his positive influence.

Earlier yesterday, on the 27th, the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association (Chairman Song Pil-ho) announced that Seventeen had donated 1 billion won to help residents affected by wildfires in the Ulsan, Gyeongbuk, and Gyeongnam regions. Seventeen stated, "We hope this can be a small help to those affected by the wildfires," and "We send our condolences to the victims and offer comfort to all those going through difficult times."

In particular, Seventeen has shown its commitment to giving back to marginalized communities and has been donating funds to assist in recovery efforts during domestic and international disasters, making their donation of 1 billion won even more touching.

Since then, donations ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of won continue in the entertainment industry. However, a donation of 1 billion won is rare and has drawn more attention.

Amid this, on the 28th, the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association (Chairman Song Pil-ho) announced that BTS member Jungkook has donated 1 billion won to support victims of wildfires in the Ulsan, Gyeongbuk, and Gyeongnam regions. Of the donation made by Jungkook, 500 million won will be used for emergency support and relief supplies for disaster victims who have lost their livelihoods due to the wildfires. The remaining 500 million won is intended for awareness and treatment improvement programs for firefighters dedicated to disaster sites, such as fire outbreaks.

Jungkook remarked, "I hope this can help those who are tired and having a tough time. I wish that everyone suffering from this wildfire and all those working hard to extinguish it can quickly return to their peaceful daily lives," continuing his positive influence.

Meanwhile, Jungkook also donated 1 billion won to the Seoul National University Children's Hospital in 2023 to support treatment costs for children from low-income families and the integrated care center business.
