BTS member Suga fans, also known as Min Yoongi, were left emotional as photos of his nameplate at the newly inaugurated Min Yoongi Center for autism care went viral.
The center, part of Severance Hospital in Seoul, officially opened this year, with a plaque reading: “Min Yoongi Center for the MIND Program, Since 2025.”
The nameplate recognizes Suga’s silent but impactful support of the center and its MIND Program, a social skills initiative for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The program integrates Music, Interaction, Network, and Diversity, allowing participants to learn social skills through musical activities.
Generous Donation and Vision
The largest single donation in Severance Hospital's history was made by BTS member Suga, who gave 5 billion KRW (roughly $3.64 million) to the hospital after serving in the military until June 2025. The treatment center and its affiliated MIND Band, a volunteer musical group designed to improve social skills for kids with autism, were both made possible by this donation.
Suga has always been interested in fusing music with significant social impact, which is why he supports the project. Supporters have been keeping a close eye on the development, pointing out that this charitable achievement reveals a side of the international superstar that goes beyond his musical career.
Fans React to Nameplate
The moment the nameplate photos went viral, ARMYs flooded social media with emotional responses. One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “I’m so deeply proud of him. He’s a good artist, good son, good brother, good friend, he’s genuinely a good human being.” Another commented, “It’s unbelievably amazing that the legacy of Min Yoongi will not only live on in his music but also in this center meant to bring tangible change in children’s lives with music. I’m so proud.”
Instagram Comeback
After a two-year break, BTS member Suga recently made a comeback to Instagram, which only increased the excitement. Since his military discharge and the fallout from a DUI case in 2024, this is his first post. As they celebrate his music and charitable endeavors, fans anxiously await his next updates.
