Jennie’s donation to medical education has placed her at the centre of public service in South Korea again. The Blackpink member gave 100 million won to Seoul National University’s College of Medicine on Friday. The university will use the money to support research, education, and socially aware medical training. University leaders believe the donation promotes both compassion and communication alongside clinical skill. This shift redefines how doctors should heal both body and society.
Notably, this contribution follows a similar donation last year from Odd Atelier, Jennie’s label. The consistency in giving shows her long-term commitment to health care development. Seoul National University confirmed the funds will strengthen training for ethical and empathetic professionals. Jennie’s donation to medical education shows her deeper interest in long-term public impact. Her actions blend personal values with meaningful efforts that benefit society.
Furthermore, Kim Jeong-eun, the medical school’s dean, praised Jennie’s cultural and humanitarian influence. She said the school remains focused on raising responsible and compassionate medical leaders. “We want to train doctors who can heal and truly connect with people,” Kim said. Jennie’s donation to medical education, she added, “goes far beyond financial support.” Clearly, her actions prove that influence must serve the public good.
At the same time, Jennie continues growing her solo career through Odd Atelier, which she launched in 2023. Her debut album “Ruby” topped multiple global charts soon after its release. The lead track “Like Jennie” hit No. 83 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March. Another track, “Handlebars” featuring Dua Lipa, debuted at No. 80. Her solo success matches her rising social and cultural influence.
In an era when fame often stays self-focused, Jennie chooses to break that pattern. She uses her platform to support fields far beyond entertainment. Her work continues to shape both global pop and Korean society. Jennie’s donation to medical education may inspire others to combine success with service. The impact of her choices is just beginning to unfold.
