The group BTS's fan club donated 2.39 million won for children who were abused. 

'Friendly Wave', the social campaign team of the BTS fan club 'Army', donated 2.39 million won collected through the point donation campaign 'Your Eyes' to the Korean Social Welfare Society and participated in the donation to help children who are abused.

In celebration of the birthday of BTS member J-Hope, 312 fans participated in the campaign, which was held for 10 days from February 8.

The donations are delivered through the Korean Social Welfare Society (Chairman Seok-Hyun Kim) to childcare supplies and psychological and emotional support for children at the shelter for abused children located in Gwangju.

A representative of 'Friendly Wave' said, "I planned the campaign by seeing J-Hope donating for children".

The Korean Social Welfare Association started the fan donation campaign 'The Virtue of Sharing' on February 18, which provides a star sponsorship certificate when fandom donates for a star, and more fandoms are expected to take good steps. The Korean Social Welfare Society, established in 1954, is a social welfare corporation specializing in child welfare.

NewJeans' Minji touched fans' hearts with a handwritten letter on her birthday — even while the group is currently unable to promote due to legal issues.

On May 7, Minji celebrated her birthday by sharing a heartfelt message on the group’s personal SNS account, which the members opened themselves to stay connected with fans.

Minji began her letter with honesty, writing, “I think I’m living a busier life than I expected. When I finally looked up, it was already May, and it was my birthday.”

She admitted that she had a lot she wanted to say, but her thoughts felt “messy.” Still, her message to fans was clear, “I just hope that I, our members, and Bunnies can all be happy. Happiness is the biggest goal in my life.”

Minji then opened up about her personal journey and struggles, saying, “I sometimes think that running toward my happiness by doing what I love might look foolish to others. But isn’t giving up your happiness now for the sake of a future that might not even come… too harsh on yourself?”

Despite everything, she ended on a hopeful note, “I really miss the times when we shared our feelings through the good music we made together. But I always look forward to what’s ahead."

She added, "We didn’t stop here, and we’re not going to stop! It might look like we’re standing still, but I believe we’re growing deeper.”

Her message comes during a difficult time for NewJeans. The group announced last year that they were cutting ties with ADOR, their original agency, after trust was broken. They later began working independently under the new name ‘NJZ’.

However, ADOR responded with legal action — claiming the exclusive contract with NewJeans was still valid and asking the court to stop the group from promoting or signing deals.

The court sided with ADOR and granted an injunction, forcing NewJeans to pause their activities. Their appeal was rejected, and they’ve now filed a second appeal.

Through it all, Minji’s message proves one thing — even when forced to stop, NewJeans' hearts are still moving forward.
