On the first floor of Severance Hospital's Jejung Hall on the 23rd, a groundbreaking ceremony for the treatment of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder was held. Suga donated as much as 5 billion won to build the center.
After making a connection with Professor Chun Geun-ah of Pediatric Psychiatry at Severance Hospital in November last year, Suga agreed that it is necessary to build a specialized treatment center that can support mid- to long-term treatment for patients with autism spectrum disorder for more than 10 years.
5 billion won is the highest amount ever delivered by artists throughout Yonsei Medical Center as well as Severance Children's Hospital. No individual celebrity has donated this amount of money at once beyond the hospital foundation.
In response, netizens say 'I'll give you a drunk driving ticket'5 billion won, not 500 million won. They responded enthusiastically, saying, 'No matter how BTS it is, it is not easy to donate this amount of money'.
The amount is also the amount, but Suga's donation is more meaningful because of his sincerity.

Suga participated in the development of the program by meeting children with autism spectrum disorder over the weekend from March to June this year. By playing musical instruments such as guitars directly, it encouraged children to harmonize with rhythm, interact through music, and expand their emotional expression. Furthermore, he taught children to play musical instruments themselves.
As the program progressed, children's emotions and language expressions increased significantly, and social skills were also trained in cooperation or waiting with other children.
Professor Chun Geun-ah also expressed her sincere gratitude for Suga's sincere talent donation and volunteer work over the past few months, beyond financial support. I was so impressed by Suga's hard work, who always showed a serious and intelligent attitude"The ultimate goal of the Min Yun-ki Treatment Center and MIND Program is to help children with autism spectrum disorder grow into independent beings and healthy social people through the medium of music, thereby eliminating prejudice against patients with autism spectrum disorder and improving disability awareness."

Again, he did activities that added heart, such as developing programs and making talent donations, not just a formal donation to clear up his image. As a result, the public's heart melted like snow.
Suga's move is being praised as an example for many celebrities.
