The child welfare agency ChildFund Korea said on the 29th that following BTS member Jimin and Jimin's father, Jimin's younger sibling has been listed in ChildFund Korea's "Green Noble Club." It is the first "father-and-sons trio" membership in the Green Noble Club's history.
Launched in 2017, the Green Noble Club is a giving network that leads Korea's high-value donation culture and, in eight years, has grown into a donor group with 548 supporters.
Following Jimin in 2021 and Jimin's father in 2022 being listed in the Green Noble Club, Jimin's younger sibling, Park Ji-hyeon, who completed military service in May this year, joined.
In 2021, Jimin donated 100 million won to support self-reliance for young people preparing to leave care in the Busan area, to aid child households facing financial hardship after COVID-19, and to improve housing conditions for children living in poor environments, and Jimin's father joined the club in 2022 by supporting "i-LEADER," ChildFund Korea's talent development program.
ChildFund Korea presented a plaque of appreciation from ChildFund Korea President Hwang Young-ki to Jimin's father and a plaque of appreciation in the name of Choi Bul-am, president of the ChildFund Korea National Supporters Association, to Jimin.
Chairman Hwang said, "The positive influence of Jimin's father-and-sons trio carries symbolic meaning beyond simple sponsorship, including the passing down of giving across generations and the spread of fandom culture," and added, "We will do our best to bring real change to children's lives through warm sharing."
