A large sum of money collected with the assistance of BTS member RM for uniformed officers has reportedly gone missing. The funds were raised by the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs, with Kim Namjoon also donating a significant sum of 100 million KRW (about Rs 6.2crore ) during his mandatory military service, but have been lost in the system.

All about the controversy

In September 2024, RM offered the money, and the ministry was able to raise approximately 1.00 billion KRW (approximately Rs 6.2 crore ) in donations. His goal was to assist uniformed workers such as soldiers, police officers, and firefighters in acknowledging their contributions. In fact, to recognise his efforts, the ministry praised him with a letter while promoting RM`s efforts to encourage additional people to contribute, which finally rose exponentially and the number of donors surpassed 2,000.
