BTS fans support fundraising event after Jimin’s encounter with cancer patient
BTS fans, dubbed as ARMY, came together to raise funds for an organization that supports kids with cancer, including the girl who got a kiss from Jimin during the supergroup’s recent “Arirang” concert in Texas.
ARMYs based in Dallas, Texas, extended help to non-profit organization Heroes for Children which supports families with children battling cancer. During BTS’ concert last Aug. 15, a special section in the stadium was dedicated to children from the organization.
