Cho Hi Jeum is positive that the money BTS Suga donated would help kids who are not receiving treatments due to financial constraints and difficult family circumstances. The money, he revealed, would be used to treat pediatric cancer patients so they could grow bright and healthy.

This is not the first time that BTS member Suga hit the headlines because of his generosity. As a matter of fact, the "Life Goes On" hitmaker donated a total of 100 million Won and 329 dolls to various orphanages on his birthday last year. He even donated Korean beef to 39 orphanages in 2018.
