BTS’ Jungkook is being praised by ARMYs for helping needy patients with a generous donation to Seoul National University Children’s Hospital.
In April, the Euphoria singer donated ₩ 1 billion to Seoul National University Children's Hospital to aid underprivileged and sick children and their families. According to fan testimonials, the money contributed is being used to treat children who cannot afford medical treatments.
According to @jkteamkor2, they met a fan (name withheld but called OP) who revealed to them that a woman had told her how her husband was receiving speech therapy and rehabilitation at Seoul National University Children's Hospital. The person in question was suffering from an unexpected case of cerebral hemorrhage in the same hospital that BTS’ Jungkook donated to back in April.
The OP praised Jungkook for his monetary donations. They further said that the woman's husband was able to continue his treatment and that she thanked the BTS singer.
"A true angel," @dorabry16 wrote, praising BTS’ Jungkook for his generous donation of ₩ 1 billion to Seoul National University Children's Hospital.
News of BTS’ Jungkook’s generous donation of ₩ 1 billion was published on the front page of the hospital's monthly newspaper
The front page of the Seoul National University Children’s Hospital's monthly newspaper release included BTS' Jungkook's donation of ₩1 billion for the benefit of sick children and their families.
The release mentioned that the large sum of money donated by the Dreamers singer on April 14 would be used to treat children from low-income households and for integrated control care projects.
According to the fan testimonies, BTS' Jungkook's donation has been life-saving. ARMYs have taken to social media to lavish praise on the Left and Right hitmaker for his kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity in helping people get healthier.
A fan who goes by the username @_RapperJK stated that they are a speech therapist, and that when an individual suffers from hemorrhage or stroke the best treatment is therapy to revive their speech and communication skills. Had the hospital not had the necessary pieces of equipment, it would have reportedly had devastating effects on the patient, including permanent loss of hearing.
Although BTS' Jungkook hasn’t made any statement regarding patients’ getting timely treatments due to his generous donation, he had previously stated that he was happy to bring a smile to sick children.
“I hope that it will be of some help to children who are suffering, and I will support them so that they can smile healthily,” he had said.
