The member of BTS Suga has marked a big step on his philanthropic journey with the launch of the Miniagi Treatment Center on September 30th.
The new structure, founded at the Severance Hospital of Sincon-Dong in Seoul, aims to offer tailor-made therapies for children and adolescents with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD).
The Center owes its existence to $ 3.5 million donation That suga did the Severance pediatric hospital in June. His gift represents the greatest contribution of celebrities in the history of the hospital and underlines his commitment to make long -term assistance progress for young people with development needs. Although Suga has not been able to participate in the ceremony due to personal commitments, he shared a video message that expresses his excitement for the dedicated space for “social therapy through music”.
The leadership at the Health System of the University of Yonsei and the Severance hospital have joined the celebration. The president of the University of Yonsei Dong-Sup Yoon and the CEO of Yuhs Ki-Chang Keum presided over the ribbon cutting, together with the director of the Kang Lee severance indemnity and child psychiatrist Keun-Ah Cheon, who will guide the new center.
Professor Cheon described the project As “a dream come true”, observing that the early involvement of Suga extended beyond the donation. After reading the 500 pages of Cheon on autism, he volunteered from March to June, working directly with the children and helping to model the center signature program.
Called the Mind program, the acronym for the initiative stands for music, interaction, network and diversity. It integrates musical activities, such as playing instruments, singing and writing lyric, in group therapy sessions designed to encourage communication, the construction of relationships and respect for individual differences. Inside the Center, cutting -edge therapy rooms include soundproofed musical spaces, language treatment rooms and behavioral and areas of the group of social skills with advanced acoustic insulation.
Art also plays a key role. The works of the artist Lee Kyu-Jae, who lives with ASD, will be exhibited in the waiting area to create a stimulating environment for families. A multidisciplinary team of childhood psychiatrists, music and behavioral therapists, speech therapists and clinical psychologists will provide personalized treatments that merge clinical treatment with creative expression.
Severance Hospital provides for expand The Center as demand requires, potentially adding visual arts and sports components to integrate the music -based approach. Professor Cheon provides that showing children who fight for independence will increase the awareness of the public and acceptance of disabilities.

Fans around the world celebrated the opening of the center on social media, greeting his efforts to exploit the power of music for the social good. With the Min Yoongi treatment center now open, Suga has taken a tangible step to ensure that children with autism have the support they need to thrive.
