At a concert of BTS in Texas, a youthful admirer who is contending with cancer was given the most remarkable gift when Jimin came close to the crowd and hugged her, even planting a sweet kiss on her cheek. The moment quickly amazed people on the internet, making it a precious episode in the series of events of BTS' ARIRANG tour.
Adding to that splendid moment was Jimin's extraordinary act at the concert that was conducted in Arlington, Texas. Among the guests of the concert were a group of children suffering from serious health conditions.
BTS Jimin Meets Young Cancer Patient Olivya
While the show is going on, BTS member Jimin came through the crowd and saw Olivya, who is a pediatric cancer patient at the concert. After they made eye contact, Jimin went up to Olivya and hugged her tight. Himself a star, he kissed Olivya quickly on the cheek and continued the show. The moment was one of the most unforgettable sessions of the concert. Shooting a quick video of the encounter, Olivya was too excited about being kissed by the star, saying, "I just got a kiss!"
Who is Olivya?
Olivya is a child suffering from cancer who was invited to the concert of the popular K-Pop band BTS held in Arlington. The Heroes for Children, a non-profit organization in the U.S. which is committed to helping children suffering from cancer and their families, organized her attendance at the concert.
The organization shared the details of Olivya's participation in the concert on its social media accounts on Monday. Apart from that, a picture showing Jimin talking to Olivya was also shared together with the post about their emotional meeting.
Heroes for Children pointed out that the actions of Jimin made it possible for Olivya to enjoy the feelings of joy, love, and happiness after all the problems she had faced before that. The organization emphasized that the moment would remain a bright memory for Olivya and her family for many years to come.
BTS ARMY Comes Through for Childhood Cancer Fundraiser
After Olivya’s story went viral, Heroes for Children started a campaign to raise $50,000 to aid families of children suffering from cancer in Texas. BTS fans, also known as ARMY, reached out to help the campaign. Armed with the will to help, fans contributed to the success of the fundraising campaign, which exceeded its goal quickly.
In the end, the fundraiser raised $50,923.87, accomplishing its goal and demonstrating the importance of the help coming from the BTS fans. With the assistance of this fundraising project, what started as a fun concert incident became a source of help for people coping with the hardships tied to childhood cancer.
The interaction between Jimin and Olivya raised major interest among BTS supporters, who appreciated the idol for paying attention to the young fan during the concert. The exit lasted for only a couple of seconds but the effect it had on Olivya and her relatives was huge. The fact that Olivya had an opportunity to meet Jimin was very important for the family which afterwards organized a fundraiser for kids suffering from cancer.
The event also illustrates how the moments involving famous stars can motivate fans to help in some important causes. In this case, the short communication with Jimin put the spotlight on Heroes for Children and served as an incentive for BTS ARMY to support the cause.
