BTS member J-Hope, born Jung Ho-seok, donated KRW 200 million to Asan Medical Center to support the development of the Asan Medical Center Children's Hospital. The contribution was made on February 18, his birthday, following a similar donation last year.

J-Hope said, “I believe that children will one day move toward a hopeful future. I sincerely hope they can overcome their pain and pursue bright dreams. I also continue to make donations as a way of giving back to ARMY, my fans, who always send me unwavering support. I am grateful to be able to practice meaningful sharing again on my birthday this year, following my donation last year.”

J-Hope began his philanthropy with a KRW 100 million donation to Asan Medical Center in 2022, and in 2025 contributed KRW 200 million to the Asan Medical Center Children's Hospital, pledging to continue his meaningful acts of giving. With a cumulative total of KRW 500 million donated to the Asan Medical Center to date, he continues to put his distinctive philosophy of philanthropy into practice.

Asan Medical Center plans to use the donation to improve medical facilities and the treatment environment for pediatric and adolescent patients, as well as to support home based medical care and psychological healing programs for critically ill children.
