Recently, many idols have been making donations on their birthdays, spreading what can only be described as a positive influence. The amounts are so large that the word "hundreds of millions" naturally comes to mind.

For several years now, a culture known as "kind flex" (flex) has emerged among idols, where they donate on their birthdays. This year, this trend has become particularly prominent, with some groups having all their members participate in donation campaigns totaling hundreds of millions of won, further amplifying the heartwarming atmosphere.

The funds will be used for pediatric patients. Through this donation, J-Hope was added as a member of the "Green Noble Trinity Club," a donor group whose cumulative contributions to Green Umbrella exceed 1 billion won.
