BTS' Jimin Donates to His Former Elementary School

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

BTS’s Jimin and his father recently gave back to their community in a sweet way!

On February 20, Busan’s Hoedong Elementary School, where Jimin attended as a child, closed down after 36 years. At the graduation ceremony, Jimin donated signed BTS CDs to all the students and made a personal donation to cover the school uniform costs for all the graduating students going on to middle school.

It turned out that Jimin had made this donation last year as well, ever since he heard that Hoedong Elementary School was closing down.

BTS’s agency BigHit Entertainment confirmed the donation and added, “Jimin’s father felt very regretful that the school was closing down and wanted to do something for them.”

At the time of closing, Hoedong Elementary School had 10 graduating students and 50 enrolled students. Jimin’s father participated in the graduating ceremony to personally give out the donations and said, “I watched Jimin graduate here 10 years ago, and when I think that the school won’t be here anymore, tears come to my eyes.”

this is really sweet ^_^

[lolylen.livejournal.com]

jimin is always so thoughtful and sweet

[ms-minniemaus.livejournal.com]

The cutie remains cute.

I love how when it's something nice like this post there are barely any comments but in shit-stirring posts, everyone is so eager to give their 2 cents lmao

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

People are eager to give their 2 cents even when it's not a BTS post lol but the day is young. Wait for it.

[ms-minniemaus.livejournal.com]

Next thing you know, someone's gonna complain that he didn't donate enough

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

Lmao don't give people ideas! But then again we're talking about Jimin here. The leader would have gotten more shit about it.

[swegkitten.livejournal.com]

I'm loving this tea ☕

[bob-dabuilda.livejournal.com]

Well he could have donated more, but he blew some cash flying out to California to see me and spend time together at luxury resorts.

[jyusou.livejournal.com]

That’s exactly what I thought when I came here and saw 39 comments like fuck here we go again. Thank goodness it’s not the case tho (yet).

[queenhinata.livejournal.com]

these days most ppl only comment in the controversial posts otherwise this site is dead tbh

[ms-minniemaus.livejournal.com]

True but when it comes to BTS, even an interview or teasers can trigger people from what I've seen

[queenhinata.livejournal.com]

lmaooo you're right too. i guess bts/army are a hot topic in general. i was in another post about a different group yet half of the comments were about armys. i'm dead.

[ms-minniemaus.livejournal.com]

ikr? lol, saw that too and I gotta say the dedication is real

The gif is cute <3

[queenhinata.livejournal.com]

ty <3

[ms-minniemaus.livejournal.com]

Exactly, those are not important but when it comes to ARMYs, everyone makes sure even CNN will cover the news lol #whenwillyourfaves

Tbh, I'm counting down to the moment when someone gets triggered by this discussion, too, bc apparently the hate for BTS is only in our head and 90% of the comments here are positive

[ms-minniemaus.livejournal.com]

Nah, we can't have nice things bc there will always be the same people with the same narrative about how BTS did this and that and said this and that and others did it better, so yeah, I'm preparing myself for the next comeback posts and praying for OP's sanity to bear with the comments.

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

If they did something problematic people shouldn't comment?
Controversial posts here always get a lot of comments.
BTS aren't victims.

[ms-minniemaus.livejournal.com]

The last 'problematic' thing they did was answer things differently and that triggered everyone, so yeah nope. I'm talking about the same old shit that people keep mentioning even when it is not related to that specific post. Everyone can drag them all they want for things that are legit gross and I wouldn't mind but let's not act like random people who may or may not care about BTS love to come to their posts just to act almighty. Idk but when I don't give a shit about a group I don't go and rain on everyone's parade just to prove a point.

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

If someone isn't a fan of BTS but feels strongly about LGBTQA+ rights (or making fun of indigenous naming culture), they can't comment in those BTS posts?
Criticism (especially when accurate) shouldn't require a caveat, wrong is wrong.
I am more concerned with stans who brush aside bad behaviour making claims that they are young, innocent and/or misunderstood. Anyone I stan for should be open to constructive criticism from any source tbh.

[ms-minniemaus.livejournal.com]

Well allow me to question some people's intentions, fans or non-fans. Just because someone feels offended it doesn't mean everyone should and that shouldn't be considered ignorance bc not everyone has the same views on life.

Like I said, I don't mind criticism and I don't see BTS as victims, but when people mock them and the fans even on other group's post just to prove a point and stir shit, then that's another story. I get it, ARMYs are crazy but the constant posts about what some random twitter user said or did is getting ridiculous.

Anyway, my point was that positive BTS posts are getting less attention than negative ones bc lbr people love drama.

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

True.
We all love drama.

[saemcrh.livejournal.com]

"but the constant posts about what some random twitter user said or did is getting ridiculous."

Where?

[jazzygyu.livejournal.com]

I saw pictures of this on Tumblr of the signed cds he gave out. How cute. My high recently closed so I understand how he feels seeing his school close down.

[queenhinata.livejournal.com]

jimin's a sweetheart!

i heard all(?) of his grade schools have closed. korea's declining birth rates is no joke :(

[welljustguess.livejournal.com]

Whoops sorry didnt intend to reply you. Though you just remind me of their declining birth rate.

[jackieee94.livejournal.com]

Stan an angel like Park Jimin

[welljustguess.livejournal.com]

Sweetheart. He's so sweet im not worthy

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

This is so lovely.
His father seems adorable.
I still remember when Jungkook compared Chimmy to Jimin's Dad. He sounds like such a lovely person.

Jimin is clearly good people.

[dropthecrates.livejournal.com]

bless, that's so thoughtful

[anonymous-loljk.livejournal.com]

I saw the drawing/poster the kids made with jimin's face on the picture of a sun and they're calling him jimin sunbae... Idk why but this made me feel very soft uwu

[dropthecrates.livejournal.com]

that poster melted my heart sjdkfjslkdfj

[revedesnuages.livejournal.com]

That's so precious ♥

[infj23.livejournal.com]

Awww :) His dad being so heartbroken about it got me feelin' things. I wonder if he attended the school, too?

That's a lovely gesture to the graduating students.

[revedesnuages.livejournal.com]

It's a really thoughtful gesture, one less thing parents have to worry about for school supplies C:

It's sad that the older you get, the more you notice the transient nature of buildings, especially ones that contain childhood memories.

[bob-dabuilda.livejournal.com]

He graduated from elementary school 10 years ago? I graduated from high school 10 years ago....almost feel bad for thirsting. Almost.


Sad that his elementary school closed down, but only 50 students? At that point the cost of operations isn't worth it unless it was a private school. I bet they received a lot of personalized education though.

That was nice of Jimin for his gestures.

[thebloomroom.livejournal.com]

Girl same lol. My 10 year reunion is this year, help.

[mjmjchick.livejournal.com]

I graduated from *university* ten years ago. My reunion (which I'm not going to) is in October.....yikes

[thebloomroom.livejournal.com]

Charitable bae is so cute!! Good for him, it's so sad seeing things disappear from your childhood
