BTS’ J-Hope has recently warmed the hearts of fans with a discreet act of kindness, making a secret donation to the Imgok Dog Shelter in Busan. On August 31, a post titled “BTS’ J-Hope Sponsors Abandoned Dogs at Imgok Abandoned Dog Shelter” began gaining popularity on the Korean forum, theqoo. It was revealed that the rapper had been quietly supporting the shelter while serving in the military.
An anonymous representative from Yeonjoo Glass, a glass manufacturing company, shared on theqoo that they had been contacted by BTS’ J-Hope’s mother regarding donations for a dog shelter that they also manage. The representative expressed their astonishment, discovering that a world-famous star, J-Hope, and his mother were eager to help their shelter.
“After reading my blog post about the dog shelter in February 2022, a lady reached out to me. It was none other than BTS’ J-Hope! J-Hope’s mother noticed the dire state of our shelter and wanted to extend her assistance.”
Upon learning of this news, ARMYs, BTS’ dedicated fanbase, expressed their joy and pride in J-Hope and his mother for their generous contribution to the Imgok Dog Shelter. BTS’ J-Hope’s substantial donation not only breathed new life into the shelter but also enhanced the living conditions for its resident animals.
Before J-Hope’s donation, the Imgok Dog Shelter was facing a challenging situation. It relied on the efforts of volunteers who struggled to provide adequate resources for the dogs in their care. However, following the rapper’s contribution, the entire shelter underwent a remarkable transformation. The donation facilitated the installation of new floors and structures to ensure the safety and well-being of the shelter’s dogs. While the exact amount of J-Hope’s donation remains undisclosed, it was evidently substantial enough to bring about significant improvements to the Imgok Dog Shelter.
