The facility, to be led by pediatric psychiatrist and professor Chun Geun-ah, is dedicated to supporting children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder.
Made in June, Suga’s donation marked the largest-ever celebrity contribution to the Yonsei Medical Foundation, which runs the general hospital. Following his lead, a wave of donations followed, supposedly by his fans.
The center is equipped with state-of-the-art therapy rooms, including soundproofed music and social skills group spaces. It also introduces MIND (Music, Interaction, Network, Diversity), a group therapy program that Suga co-developed with Professor Chun by integrating music into treatment.
