BTS member J-Hope donated 100 million won to his alma mater for his birthday.
Child welfare organization Green Umbrella (Chairman Hwang Young-gi) said on Feb. 18 that BTS member J-Hope (real name Jeong Ho-seok) donated 100 million won to support the dreams of juniors at his alma mater on his birthday.
J-Hope made the donation to support juniors at his alma mater on his birthday, Feb. 18. From 2019 to 2023, J-Hope has provided scholarships to students at his alma mater Gwangju International School and to students at Jeonnam Girls' Commercial High School in the region who faced financial hardship that made it difficult to concentrate on their studies, so they could pursue their dreams despite reality.
Green Umbrella will use the donation to select students in need at the two schools and provide scholarships.
In particular, through this donation J-Hope became the 14th member of Green Umbrella's major donor group "Green Noble Trinity Club." The "Green Noble Trinity Club" is a group of major donors to Green Umbrella whose cumulative donations are 1 billion won or more.
Since 2018, J-Hope has continued donating through Green Umbrella to support vulnerable groups in various areas, including medical expenses for children with illnesses and support for children in households affected by the COVID-19 crisis.
Green Umbrella Chairman Hwang Young-gi said, "We sincerely thank supporter J-Hope, who every year on his birthday has shown love to marginalized children including juniors at his alma mater," and said, "Green Umbrella will always stand by children and continue supporting so that donors' hearts can lead to a bright future for children."
