BTS’s Jin Claims 5 Consecutive Months as “Idol Ranking” No. 1; Total Donations Reach 6.5 Million Won

BTS’s Jin secured first place in StarPlanet’s July Idol Ranking vote, receiving 99,930 votes. This marks his fifth consecutive month at the top, during which he has accumulated a total of 6.5 million won in donations. StarPlanet calculates the idol rankings through fan voting from the 1st to the 15th of each month, and 1 million won is donated to UNICEF Korea in the name of the star who finishes first. StarPlanet confirmed that another 1 million won was donated to UNICEF Korea under Jin’s name this time. Jin’s total number of Hall of Fame entries has now risen to seven. He had previously donated 1 million won in August and 500,000 won in November of last year. Jin’s streak of ranking first began in March. He also took first place in the “January Comeback Star” special ranking in January this year, demonstrating his ongoing popularity. Jin is active in charitable activities not only through StarPlanet voting but also in his daily life. After joining UNICEF’s “Honors Club” for high-level donors in 2019, he has made substantial donations to institutions such as Korea University Medical Center and Asan Medical Center. In January this year, he donated 100 million won to support the treatment of patients with rare diseases in developing countries, and on Children’s Day in May, he contributed another 100 million won to a children’s hospital, continuing his acts of kindness. Such charitable efforts have a positive impact on his fandom as well. Jin’s fans actively participate in StarPlanet voting and join him in donation drives, helping to foster a culture of “model fandom.” Meanwhile, Jin is currently on his first solo world tour, “Dallera Seokjin Tour,” and has successfully completed performances in major cities including Goyang in South Korea, as well as in Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
