K-pop star celebrates her birthday by giving back — empowering youth stepping into independence 🌱
🎂 Birthday with a Purpose — Arin Shares the Love
OH MY GIRL's Arin turned her birthday into a day of giving. On June 18, she donated ₩20 million KRW (approximately $14,500 USD) to the Beautiful Foundation, supporting young adults transitioning out of the foster care system.
Her donation will help cover living and educational expenses for these "self-reliance youth" as they start building lives on their own.
Arin shared,
"I wanted to send a small but heartfelt message of support. I hope this can bring courage and hope to those starting their next chapter."
🌱 Giving Back Has Always Been Her Style
This isn't Arin's first act of generosity. Since 2021, she's celebrated her birthday and Coming-of-Age Day with meaningful donations. Her past efforts include:
- Support for at-risk youth and homeless teens
- Coal donations for energy-vulnerable households
- Relief funds for wildfire recovery
Arin is widely praised not only for her stage presence, but also for her quiet, consistent philanthropy — embodying beauty both inside and out.
📢 New Chapter with ATRP
In addition to her charitable acts, Arin recently signed an exclusive contract with ATRP, the agency founded by Kim Jin-mi, former general director of WM Entertainment. She joins fellow artist Chuu under the same label.
As Arin kicks off this new era, fans are excited to see what she'll do both as an artist and as a role model.
