BTS Jungkook extended his help to people in need with his recent whopping donation.
BTS members have been expanding their philanthropic works even before they became global superstars. For instance, the group donated 100 million KRW to the 416 Family Council in 2017 to aid the families of the Sewol ferry disaster victims.
At that time, the seven members gave 10 million KRW each, while BIGHIT Music added 30 million KRW.
This time, the group's maknae also shared the blessings he has been receiving.
