• BTS’ Jimin Inspires Fans to Do Good, From Scholarships for Students to Saving Polar Bears—ARMYs Keep Spreading Love Worldwide

    BTS member Jimin isn’t just a superstar—he’s a force of kindness, inspiring fans all over the world to give back in meaningful ways!

    From Vietnam to Hungary and South Korea, ARMYs continue to prove that Jimin’s influence goes beyond music.

    On January 15, Jimin’s Vietnamese fans made a heartfelt donation to students at Phuoc Thang Secondary School in Vung Tau City, Vietnam.

    As part of their ongoing Jimin’s Bookshelf charity project, they provided scholarships and gifts to underprivileged students.

    “These gifts bring joy and motivation for studying while also spreading the spirit of love and sharing,” they shared. “We hope the students will believe in themselves, follow their dreams, and never give up.”

    Meanwhile, Jimin’s Hungarian fanbase PJM_Hungary took a creative approach to honoring their idol! To celebrate Jimin’s 400th day of military service, they adopted an endangered polar bear through the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

    What’s even more touching? They’ve been adopting a polar bear every 100 days of his service—this marks their fourth time!

    Back in South Korea, a local fan made a generous donation of 300kg of rice to the Green Umbrella Child Fund’s Busan branch, further showing how Jimin’s positive influence continues to encourage acts of kindness worldwide.

    Jimin’s impact isn’t just about breaking records—it’s about touching hearts. With fans carrying on his legacy of love and generosity, it’s clear that his presence will continue to make a difference, even while he’s serving in the military! ?

  • NewJeans Minji writes touching letter on her birthday during activity halt: “We didn’t stop and we won’t stop”

    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.
