VirJINs: A Fanbase with a Heart
In a heartwarming display of kindness, Filipino fans of BTS member Jin have set an admirable example of charitable work, proving that fandom can extend beyond music into impactful community support.
Commemorating Jin's birthday, these fans have demonstrated a remarkable commitment to social causes.
Making a Difference in Children's Lives
The fanbase, known as 'virJINs', engaged in a noble act of donating essential items such as rice, milk, and educational supplies to Tahanan ng Pagmamahal, a child welfare institution in the Philippines. This act of generosity was complemented by interactive activities with the children, fostering a warm and joyful environment.
Sustained Commitment to Charity
Beyond this, the Filipino fans have consistently exhibited their altruistic spirit. Last year, they celebrated the 5th anniversary of Jin's solo track 'Epiphany' by initiating the 'Eat Jin Campaign', which involved providing meals for 200 underprivileged children and youths in collaboration with the Childhope Foundation.
Their philanthropic efforts continued as they donated essential items like food and masks during Jin's 8th and 9th anniversaries with BTS. Additionally, they contributed significantly during Christmas, providing festive baskets and financial support for the electricity expenses of a residence for pediatric cancer patients, Bahay Aruga.
In line with Jin's known interest in animal welfare, the fans also adopted two whales in Babuyan Island, Philippines, and two corals in Hatamin, Indonesia. This diversification in their charitable acts underlines their commitment to addressing a range of societal and environmental issues.
Echoing Jin's philosophy that 'good influence grows when shared', the Filipino fans are actively involved in various charitable endeavors, supporting marginalized communities, environmental conservation, and animal welfare. Their actions serve as a beacon of hope and inspiration, illustrating how collective efforts can lead to significant positive change in society.
