Jimin released his first-ever self-composed song, 'Promise' on December 31, 2018. It was his present to fans where as much as the lyrics were addressed to himself, as he explained in one of his Vlives, the song was also meant to bring comfort to listeners.
Fans have loved this song since its release and always show their love and appreciation for this beautiful present by celebrating the anniversary of its release each year. For the third year anniversary, Jimin's Korean fans have donated a sum of 10.13 million Won (an equivalent of about $8530) to the Korean Children's Leukaemia Foundation to help support pediatric cancer treatment. The donation was made on December 27th under Jimin's name with the phrase "I hope it will be a warm hope for children who are overcoming pain." The ALL FOR JIMIN team has received lots of positive responses for the admirable deed of bringing some warmth to the holidays of the children.
