BTS’ Suga Donates $3.66 Million to Establish Autism Treatment Centre in Seoul
SEOUL — Suga, a member of the globally renowned K-pop group BTS, has donated a generous $3.66 million (approximately 5 billion KRW) to fund the creation of an autism treatment centre in Seoul. The move highlights the artist’s ongoing commitment to philanthropy and social causes.
The donation, announced by local officials on Tuesday, will be used to build a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to supporting children with autism and their families. The centre aims to provide early diagnosis, therapy, and educational programs tailored to the needs of autistic individuals.
In a statement, Suga expressed hope that the centre would help create “a more inclusive and understanding society.” His contribution comes as part of BTS’ broader efforts to promote mental health awareness and support vulnerable communities.
Construction of the centre is expected to begin later this year, with the goal of opening its doors by 2027.
This latest act of generosity adds to Suga’s history of charitable giving, including past donations to disaster relief, childhood cancer foundations, and COVID-19 response efforts.
