Global K-pop star and BLACKPINK member Jennie has once again shown that her impact goes far beyond music and fashion.
On May 30, 2025, it was revealed that Jennie made a generous donation of 100 million KRW (approximately $72,709 USD) to Seoul National University College of Medicine, supporting the school’s mission to nurture compassionate medical professionals.
According to the university, Jennie’s donation will be used to enhance the institution’s education and research infrastructure, with a special focus on developing empathetic, socially responsible talent in the medical field.
Her contribution is not only financial but also deeply symbolic, representing a commitment to social healing and the cultivation of future leaders who embody values such as empathy, communication, and selfless care.
Kim Jeong Eun, dean of the medical college, expressed heartfelt gratitude, stating,
“We are thankful to Jennie, who has gone beyond monetary support to become a source of inspiration.
We aim to raise future doctors who reflect the spirit of tolerance, empathy, and sacrifice that Jennie has supported.”
This is not the first time Jennie has shown support for medical education. Her agency, ODDATELIER (OA), also contributed 100 million KRW to the same institution in 2023, reflecting a consistent dedication to impactful philanthropy.
Jennie’s thoughtful actions have been met with admiration from fans and the public alike. In an era where public figures have tremendous influence, her example proves how K-pop idols can use their platform to create meaningful change in society.
Whether on stage or through charitable endeavors, Jennie continues to inspire with her talent, heart, and vision for a better world.
