In a post on Dongeui Science University’s website, Professor Kwon Kwon-Jeong of the Department of Physical Therapy expressed his gratitude on behalf of the department.

“BTS Jimin donated a scholarship to the Department of Physical Therapy at Dongeui Science University. We are so grateful that Professor Taesik Lee and Jimin’s father became connected and supported the development of the Department of Physical Therapy.”
