Date: december 8, 2025
On December 8, 2025, the Ministry of Interior and Safety hosted the 5th Korea Good Donation Awards at the Korea Advertising Culture Center in Seoul. The ceremony honored companies, organizations, and individuals who have made a lasting impact through meaningful donation and sharing initiatives, celebrating those who continue to help foster a culture of philanthropy in South Korea.
BTS was honored with a Presidential Commendation for their work with UNICEF’s ‘Love Myself’ campaign, becoming the first Korean artist to receive this prestigious recognition. As the first K-pop artist to partner with UNICEF Korea on a global campaign, BTS’s ‘Love Myself’ initiative raised 9.2 billion won and worked to end violence and promote safe, healthy lives for children and youth worldwide.
"We feel a great sense of reward that the 'LOVE MYSELF' campaign has had a positive impact on our society. Rather than thinking of this award as an award given to us, we think of it as encouragement and support for everyone who resonated with the message of 'Love yourself and love the world' that we spread through the campaign. We especially want to dedicate this honor to our fandom, ARMY, who created the campaign with us. We will continue to strive to be a group that contributes to warm and healthy change."
