you are telling me that from march to june, yoongi spent weekends with children with autism spectrum disorder, he played instruments such as the guitar, guiding them to match rhythms, and expand their emotional expression. he even taught them to play instruments themselves. 🥹
Yoongi didn’t just donate money. He didn’t just attach his name to a cause. He met with Professor Cheon last year, discussed this in depth, co-developed the MIND program, volunteered for months- every weekend from March to June- to test it himself. He played instruments with the kids, guided them through rhythm, helped them open up, and witnessed their growth firsthand.
One child, previously non-verbal, began responding to praise and connecting with peers. That's the power of presence.
This was a deeply thought-out, emotionally invested effort from someone who has consistently shown how much he cares about mental health.
This is what artistry means. Not just music on a stage, but music used to build bridges between people. Between feelings. Between society and those too often left out of it.
His name is Min Yoongi. And this is the kind of legacy he’s building.

I'd just like to state that Israel's Eurovision artist Eden Golan is from Moscow and has benefitted from Russian citizenship multiple times in her career.
She participated in Russian shows until it stopped benefitting her during the war in Ukraine. #Eurovision2024

MAJOR UPDATE:

Look, if Joost broke the rules then fine, whatever, he should be disqualified. But the fact of the matter is that a certain delegation has been harassing, misgendering & dishing out death threats to artists & journos, so for consistency, they should also be disqualified. @EBU_HQ
