Suga, a member of the BTS, participated in the Severance Hospital-led program.

According to Severance Hospital on the 17th, Suga contributed as a co-author to Severance Hospital's music-based social treatment manual 'MIND (Music-Interaction-Network-Diversity) Program'.

"MIND" is a clinical manual for music-based sociality training programs planned and produced for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disabilities. As the MIND program is a music-based treatment, which is a non-verbal means, it is also effective for children who have low cognitive abilities or difficulty communicating because they do not respond to language. It encourages children to express their opinions so that they can choose the instrument they want, and even supports their social activities experience by waiting for their performance order through ensembles.

Professor Cheon Geun-ah of Severance Hospital, who has interacted with Suga since the second half of 2024, said, "Sugar's participation came from his sense as an artist who understands the power of music better than anyone else, and his sincerity to empathize with and share responsibilities with the socially underprivileged."

Earlier in June last year, Suga donated 5 billion won to Severance Hospital. Based on his donations, the Min Yoongi Treatment Center was established on the first floor of Severance Hospital's Jejunggwan in September last year.

From the second half of 2024 to the first half of last year, Suga met children with autism spectrum disorder from the second half of 2024 to the first half of last year, and based on this, he developed "MIND," a social group program that combines music with treatment, and established the world's first art convergence treatment and independence system in university hospitals.
