Artists that make a difference

Tweet

I just read in the news that Suga (Min Yoongi) of the Korean band BTS donated a whopping 5 BILLION won to a hospital supporting children with Autism in South Korea. It is the largest donation so far from any K-Pop idol. This benevolent act mobilizes the BTS ARMY (BTS fans) from all over the world to donate as well to their respective autism welfare organizations in their own countries. ARMYs are generous too. Suga has been visiting and conducting music lessons at the autism center during his day off while serving in the military's welfare branch since June. He was not introduced as a celebrity, so the students didn't know he was famous. He became their favorite teacher, anyhow. Talk about doing good to make the world a better place to live in. Suga's songs also dealt with depression, mental illness, and various social ills and were used by ARMYs to help themselves recover. Many claimed that BTS songs prevented them from committing suicide. All of the band members donated to charity during their birthdays and when needed. During the pandemic, the group also donated to the entertainment crew who were jobless at that time. They're one of a kind - always ready to help. Aside from the Michael Jackson and other singers' We Are the World event. Are there any artists/singers you know who have made an impact in making the world a better place to live in? Image credit: Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show
