BTS
member
J-Hope
celebrated his 27th birthday on Thursday, but he was the one handing out the gifts.
According to
The Korea Herald
,
J-Hope donated 150 million South Korean
won
— which is about $135,657 — to Child Fund Korea, one of his favorite charities. The organization helps kids who have hearing and vision disabilities.
J-Hope is a longtime supporter of the charity, and had given them so much money over the years that he’s a member of the special Green Noble Club: those who’ve donated over 100 million
won
to the cause.
According to
Koreaboo
, last year, J-Hope gave 100 million
won
— about $90,400 — to the charity, in support of disabled children who needed extra support as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2019, he gave the same amount to establish scholarships for children in need.
