Not long after, Suga went viral again with news that shocked fans and netizens.
It was reported that he had helped establish a treatment center to help treat people with autism spectrum disorder.
The Min Yoongi Treatment Center at the Severance Hospital held a ceremony to commemorate his generous donation of ₩5.00 billion KRW (about $3.64 million USD).
It was also revealed that Suga directly met with children with autism spectrum disorder on the weekends and taught them to play instruments, witnessing up close how music increased and helped the children’s emotional and language expression.
With this, he made history as the largest single donation ever made by an idol.
While most netizens praised him for his actions, some felt otherwise.
- “He’s amazing! Aside from the amount, he even volunteered for seven months.”
- “It’s the easiest way for people who are rich to use money to be forgiven. That amount of money is unimaginable to people like us. He will make even more money when he starts promoting again.”
- “Doing this and starting activities right away seems like harmful behavior. If he donated, then took time to reflect, I wouldn’t think like this, but the timing makes it seem like he spent money instead of reflecting.”
- “He did well…who donates that much at once? I haven’t seen anyone with a DUI donate this much.”
- “The donation was good, but this doesn’t mean his mistake disappears. Don’t think this donation gives you a free pass to promote again.”
- “He did a good deed…think about how many people he can save.”
- “I’ve seen many people use donations to clear their image…but it’s sad to see that money can forgive anyone. His donation will be good news to someone, but I hope he reflects and leaves the group.”
- “Wow, 3 million? Amazing. The group won’t return until next year…can’t people see his donation as a donation? He’s trying to help autistic children through music.”
