BTS member Jimin is not only known for his music but also for his family’s dedication to helping others. Together, Jimin, his father, and his younger brother have become the first “three-member family” to join the Green Noble Club, a network of major donors created by the child welfare group Green Umbrella.
Jimin started it all in 2021, donating 100 million won to support young people leaving foster care and children struggling during the pandemic. Thanks to that help, some teens were able to open cafes or begin careers as hairstylists and nurses. His father followed in 2022, supporting children’s education and even covering medical costs for families in need. This year, Jimin’s younger brother joined after finishing his military service, completing the unique “father and two sons” membership.
The family’s commitment goes beyond writing checks. Jimin’s father has supported students through high school and into college, provided living expenses for struggling households, and stepped in when he saw neighbors in crisis. Their actions reflect a pattern of steady, personal giving.
To honor this generosity, Green Umbrella presented plaques of appreciation to both Jimin and his father. Leaders of the charity praised the family’s impact, saying their example shows how kindness can be passed down across generations and inspire entire communities of fans.
