Many of them want to be a doctor to help those who are in need. Others dream to be a Teacher, Architech, Veterenarian, Artist, Singer, Basketball Player. There are some who wish to be a Super Hero to save the world or become a Robot! The kids shared their dreams happily and Melodies were really touched by their stories.
Some of the are kids K-pop fan as well and they danced to Black Pink’s song Ddu-Du Ddu-Du.
Of course, a birthday party wouldn’t be complete without the snacks!
Everyone had a great time and it was made possible by the fans and their love for their Idols. The love and care that they have for the fandom were shared to these precious kids and their families as well.
The fans were also able to relate with this writing on the wall:
As we all know, fans may have been spending money (lots of it) for concerts, merchandise and a lot more but being a fan doesn’t start and just end with that. Being a fan is not just about supporting the group you like but also being able to share the love you have for your faves to other people as well. By having the heart to help and and the initiative to do these kinds of activities like a donation drive, fans are able to help others and bring smiles to their faces as well as contribute to the community.
YAY!! BTOBPH IS FEATURED! ❤ Yes, fangirling doesn’t only start and end with concerts and merch; it is a lot more. And one of those is helping others by their idol’s names. What an amazing feat! 😊
