Lastly, we will end off with a warm donation story.

BoA delivered the donation on Wednesday, aiming to support orthopedic patients who are struggling financially and unable to afford non-covered medical treatments.

Recently, BoA has firsthand experienced the pain and recovery process of acute osteonecrosis as she was diagnosed and treated for it.

She expressed her hope that the donation would provide both comfort and tangible assistance to others facing similar challenges.

BoA has consistently made donations for those in need.

She donated 100 million won to support the independence of young adults aging out of foster care, and also donated 50 million won on Children's Day to Seoul Asan Hospital for the treatment of pediatric cancer patients.
