Later on, it was discovered that J-HOPE's internal motivation behind this decision was his fans who have been setting a great example for others with their donations and good deeds.
ChildFund Korea is planning on awarding a scholarship to the students of Kukje high school, J-HOPE's old high school located in Gwangju, after selecting the students who could benefit from this type of financial support.
A source from the organization said, "He made donations for the children in need but asked us not to reveal his good deed. We are planning on supporting the students who are studying arts and physical education and young patients who are struggling to achieve their dreams because of financial burdens."
After donating 250 million won (approximately 221,800 dollars) to ChildFund Korea in total, J-HOPE became the 146th member of 'Green Noble Club'―a club which only a person who donated more than 100 million won to the organization can join.
Lee Je-hun, the president of ChildFund Korea said, "We want to express our gratitude to BTS' member J-HOPE who made donation in celebration of his precious day and remembered the children in need."Copyright Ⓒ SBS.
