HYBE donates $300,000 to Colombia earthquake relief

HYBE, the South Korean company behind BTS, is donating roughly $300,000 to communities affected by the August 10 earthquake in western Colombia — the country's strongest in a decade, which has killed 289 people and destroyed over 14,000 homes as of August 16. The funds, routed through HYBE America and coordinated by Colombian nonprofit Fundación Ábaco, will support immediate needs and longer-term recovery.
