"The perfect idol"- Fans touched as BTS' Jimin, his father, & brother become the first-ever 3-father-son members of Green Noble Club donors

On September 29, 2025, Chosun Biz reported that ChildFund Korea officially recognized BTS' Jimin, his father, and his younger brother as the first-ever family trio of the Green Noble Club. This milestone marks a historic moment for the foundation, as it honors the Park family for their continued generosity and unwavering commitment to supporting children in need.

Jimin first joined the donor network in October 2021, donating 100 million won to help underprivileged youth in Busan and children struggling during the pandemic. His father joined in 2022, focusing on families facing financial hardship and providing educational support.

This year, Jimin’s younger brother officially joined after completing military service. This achievement set a record as the first father-and-sons trio in the group’s eight-year history. According to Chosun Biz, ChildFund Korea President Hwang Young-ki stated,

"The positive influence of Jimin’s father-and-sons trio carries symbolic meaning beyond simple sponsorship, including the passing down of giving across generations and the spread of fandom culture. We will do our best to bring real change to children’s lives through warm sharing."

The Green Noble Club was founded in 2017 to promote a culture of large-scale philanthropy in Korea and now has over 500 members. For the K-pop idol, however, charity has long been part of his journey. Beyond Green Umbrella, he has funded scholarships, school facilities, and even emergency relief efforts abroad.

Fans were deeply moved by the announcement and flooded social media with pride. They called the BTS singer “perfect” for balancing a music career with philanthropy. An X user, @browseralexx, wrote,

Many praised the Park family for their kindness across generations. Fans showed pride in the singer and his family.

Some highlighted that the singer’s donations have inspired fans to organize their own charity drives. It further demonstrated the ripple effect of his influence.
