BTS' RM made a generous birthday gesture by donating 100 million won to a veterans' fund on September 12.

The donation, part of the 'Everyone's Veterans Dream' initiative, supports the 'Uniformed Workers Appreciation Campaign' led by the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs. The funds will go towards honoring and aiding national merit persons and their families among uniformed workers.

In a statement from his agency, Big Hit Music, RM shared, "I deeply appreciate the dedication of many people working at the front lines these days. I hope this contribution helps the heroes who are still serving the country and those who have worked hard for peace. I am also truly thankful to ARMY for their constant love and congratulations."

RM has a tradition of marking his birthday with charitable acts. Last year, he supported the Korean Association of Forensic Sciences, highlighting the importance of professional training. In 2021 and 2022, he donated to the Foundation for Cultural Heritage Abroad to aid in cultural heritage preservation. Since 2023, RM has been actively involved as an ambassador for the Ministry of National Defense's remains excavation team, promoting the remains excavation project.

BTS, RM’s group, also has a history of charitable work. Since 2017, they have been running the 'LOVE MYSELF' campaign with Big Hit Music, focusing on self-love and ending violence. Their fan club, ARMY, consistently contributes to vulnerable children and teenagers, spreading positivity.

The 'Uniformed Workers Appreciation Campaign' promotes respect and appreciation for those in uniform. This year's campaign emphasizes supporting and expressing gratitude to those who serve under the Taegeukgi (national flag), recognizing their role as national representatives deserving of support.
