BTS’s Suga is touching hearts once again — not with a performance, but with his quiet and sincere acts of kindness.
On June 25, Severance Hospital’s official YouTube channel released a behind-the-scenes video revealing how Suga helped create the “Min Yoon Gi Treatment Center” — and the emotional stories behind it.
Earlier this year, Suga donated a whopping 5 billion won (around 3.6 million USD) to help build a special treatment center for children and teens with autism spectrum disorder. But that’s not all — according to Professor Chun Geun Ah from the hospital’s Child Psychiatry Department, Suga didn’t just write a check. He got personally involved.
Despite serving his alternative military service as a public social worker, Suga used his weekends to visit the hospital, meet the kids, and even lead music sessions. He introduced himself simply as Min Yoon Gi, never mentioning he was a global superstar. He played guitar, taught music, and helped create a program called MIND that helps children express emotions and improve social skills through music.
Professor Chun shared, “At our first meeting, he had already read most of my 500-page textbook. He asked deep questions about teen mental health and suicide. He was never late — he even showed up early to practice his guitar before class. He connected with the children sincerely, and all the therapists were moved by how happy and dedicated he was.”
The Min Yoon Gi Treatment Center is expected to open in September, giving long-term support to children with autism.
In a statement through his agency, Suga said, “During these past seven months working with Professor Chun and volunteering, I realized how music can help us express emotions and connect with others. I’m truly thankful and happy to be part of this journey. I’ll keep supporting so more children can grow and be part of society.”
Meanwhile, all BTS members are currently wrapping up their military duties, and the group is planning a full comeback in the second half of this year.
