On September 30, 2025, Severance Hospital in Seoul officially opened the Min Yoongi Treatment Center, a facility born from Suga’s vision of healing through music. But here’s the twist: it wasn’t just Yoongi’s donation making this dream a reality—ARMYs showed up too, raising 550 million won on their own to honor him at the opening ceremony. Like idol, like fans.
The ceremony was attended by Yonsei University officials, hospital staff, and therapists, all celebrating the beginning of a new chapter in arts-based therapy for children with autism. And while Yoongi couldn’t be there in person, he sent a heartfelt video message that hit straight to the heart. He congratulated the opening of the center, thanked everyone from directors to therapists to the Min Yoongi Ensemble, and reminded us that the best is yet to come when the children’s ward expands into something even larger.
Fans online couldn’t contain their pride. They celebrated the fandom’s collective donation as proof that ARMY reflects Yoongi’s generosity right back at him. Posts described it as one of the most rewarding collective efforts the fandom has ever pulled off, a mirror image of the man they’ve followed for years. Proud, humble, and giving—that’s Yoongi. And ARMY proved once again that they’re built the same way.
The energy online after the event was explosive. Hashtags trended worldwide, fans poured out messages of pride, and countless people shared how meaningful it feels to be part of a community that doesn’t just stream songs but literally builds centers for children in need. This wasn’t just a ribbon-cutting—it was a statement. BTS give, ARMYs give back, and together they create legacies no one else can touch.
The Min Yoongi Center now stands as a permanent symbol of what happens when compassion meets community. Yoongi dreamed of turning music into therapy, and ARMYs matched that dream with their own hearts and wallets. And just like that, history was written—not just for BTS, but for every child who will walk through those doors.
