First of all Happy 13th birthday BTS 💜🎉 Second of all, this fundraiser is beginning to see it's end and with that we'd wanna leave you a few words from the people working with SwimTayka 🏊‍♀️ Join us to #SwimWithBTS

SwimTayka's approach includes involving local communities in each country, increasing and extending impact. With them, Pablo the fisherman is a striking example: he went from non-swimming fisher who fished from the beach, to swimming instructor for his entire village!!🏊💜

Seeing everyone gearing up for the concert brings so much joy 🥰 Over here, aka not in Busan, we're supporting @SwimTayka while we #SwinWithBTS 💜 Did you know that with the funds raised so far, could support 10 wider community interventions? Can we get that to 13? 👀

ARMY 💜 Are we all busy gearing up for the Busan concert? Busan is just next to the Korean Strait, so make sure you know your water safety 🦺🛟 @SwimTayka helps several vulnerable children each year to be safe in the water, join us in keeping their work going! #SwimWithBTS

ARMY 💜 Did you all get to watch the somewhat healing FESTA Dinner? Over here we keep swimming 🏊‍♀️ and you've donated enough to put more than 70 children through a whole program over at @SwimTayka! 70 here, 70 there, 7 everywhere! As it should 🥰 so... 7k next? 👀 #SwimWithBTS

We're on day 3 of #SwimWithBTS and 2️⃣6️⃣ people have joined us to support @SwimTayka and their mission to make sure children, especially those living near open water, are safe to dive in 🏊‍♀️ and 🎶swim, swim, water falls down your skin, swim swim 🎶

Swimming lessons with SwimTayka isn't only to learn how to swim, but to save yourself and others. Remember, safety first, safety second, and coolness third 🫡 With your donations so far, 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ survival swimming lessons could be taught. You nice keep swimming! #SwimWithBTS

Being able to swim is a way to have fun, feel confident, exercise and most important of all, life saving! 🏊🛟 The funds raised so far for #SwimWithBTS and SwimTayka could fund 230 swimming lessons! Together we can sing 🎶Sittin' on the shore, now I'm ready for the whole sea🎶

Day 2 of #SwimWithBTS and ARMY is already making waves 🌊 So far, 113 donors have dived in to support SwimTayka's work, helping bring water safety education and swimming skills to children who live near open waters!

Summer is approaching, and more people are playing near open water 🌊#SwimWithBTS Did you know that just $7 could provide vital water safety resources to underprivileged communities? Thanks to ARMY, donations so far could provide over 380 of these lifesaving resources! 🎒🛟

Swimming should not be a luxury activity reserved for the most fortunate. @SwimTayka considers it a vital life skill that can prevent fear, exclusion, injury and drowning and is determined to give children who currently miss out on water-based activities the gift of swimming!

It's only been a few hours of #SwimWithBTS and you've showed up with swim paddles and goggles (aka prepared unlike Namjoon in his normal log without his contacts)🏊‍♀️ Thank you for supporting life-saving skills to children living and playing along the earth’s open waters🌊

This is such a great campaign! Swimming is an important life skill that every child should have. Unfortunately, here in the UK, too, swimming lessons are getting more and more expensive, effectively pricing the children of working class families out. Let's support this campaign to ensure that

Fun Fact: I was a swim instructor for around 15 yrs. I taught all ages. This is such an important cause. I also worked a lifeguard for the same amount of time and water safety is essential. #SwimWithBTS

As someone who got the privilege to learn to swim as a child and almost compete for a team, this fundraising is very close to my heart. It's such a perfect choice, too! Good job OIAA, as always 🫶

What an amazing fundraiser! As a Dutchie I know the importance of learning how to swim. It is also super nice to do, so a double win if you can swim.

ARMY, in celebration of FESTA, let's join together to help everyone keep swimming 🏊‍♀️ Our 7-day fundraiser supports SwimTayka, a UK-based charity helping children around the world learn how to swim & about water stewardship 🛟 Donation link in next post 💜 #SwimWithBTS

Inspired by BTS’s SWIM and this year’s FESTA celebrations, OIAA is raising funds for an organization helping children gain confidence, learn essential life skills, and safely enjoy the waters around them. Meet our org in just 1 hour 🌊💜

A new skill can open so many new possibilities for underprivileged children. A supportive community can help make those opportunities accessible. In 2 hours, we’ll be introducing an org helping children gain skills that will prepare them to be “ready for the whole sea”.

Every child deserves the chance to explore the world around them with safety and confidence. In 3 hours we’ll reveal this year’s FESTA campaign, and the organization we’re fundraising for. 💜

Like ripples becoming waves, small acts of kindness can travel farther than we ever imagine. Today we can help create opportunities for children to learn, grow, and thrive. We can’t wait to share this organization with you in 6 hours!

The ocean doesn't ask if you're ready. Sometimes life doesn't either. But every challenge teaches us something. Every wave makes us stronger. The hopeful spirit behind Swim aligns with this org that helps young people learn skills that help them to build confidence to navigate life’s rough waters.

BTS has always encouraged us to dive in & keep swimming, even when we're scared. Tomorrow we will have the opportunity to help young people discover confidence, overcome fear, and experience something many of us take for granted. Any ideas?

Sometimes, what begins as a single ripple can travel farther than we ever imagine. For 2026 FESTA, join OIAA and Army in coming together to create waves of positive impact. 🌊 See you in ~48 hours 💜

If you have capacity to give, One In An Army is coordinating a cool fundraiser to support a Korean-American org celebrating cultural work of Korean diaspora. This is to celebrate Arirang. They got a great org for this event. I love the history of varied giving that our fandom has. ApoBangpo 💜

#OneInAnArirang updates are coming to and end, and here is the last one before we unofficially close out. A fantastic week of nervousness and excitement and you all still took the time to come together to celebrate Korean culture in more ways than one 💜 Last push ARMYfam🥰

One day left in our #OneInAnArirang comeback campaign. How we feeling ARMY? So far you have raised $5576, enough to bring in 22 speakers for GYOPO public programs! Join us with one last share or donate if you can 💜

Just like we can’t pick a favorite song from no-skip Arirang, we couldn’t pick just one GYOPO program to share with you today!

So many ARMY have donated and shared the #OneInAnArirang campaign so far, our hearts are so full 💜 Thank you for continuing to show up with so much love for GYOPO! We hope you’re as excited as we are for the concert in just 8 hours!! 🥹✨

Thanks to ARMY's support, GYOPO can fund 26 full productions for annual artist & designer collaborations 🎨 That's 26 opportunities for community building, culture sharing, and storytelling -because of you! Continuing with our ARMY math, 2+6 = 7BTS + 1 ARMY 💜

BTS shared what they all had in common was being Korean & you can feel that throughout Arirang. Their roots & culture are woven into every part of it. GYOPO helps diasporic Koreans reconnect with those roots through art and more, because identity matters💜 Join #OneInAnArirang: bit.ly/OneInAnArirang

Sneaking in a quick campaign update before the album drops. You are doing amazing ARMY! 🤯 If you are anything like us, consider donating beforehand in case the album makes you forget to breathe 😂💜

This fall, GYOPO will have a virtual program with artists from the Korean Pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale. Curator Binna Choi has invited Goen Choi (Seoul) and Hyeree Ro (NY) to transform the Pavilion into a living monument or 'Liberation Space'. biennialfoundation.org/2025/10/binn...

We're ending day 4 and there is less than 10 hours until Arirang is released 🎉 Our donations for #OneInAnArirang is totalling up to $4,684 which means GYOPO could run their platforms that bring arts and culture to the Korean diaspora for over 2 years 🤯

If anyone here is on tumblr, One In An ARMY have just reactivated their account after a long break, and they could do with some new followers to help boost them 💜 #BTS #ARMY #Bangtan www.tumblr.com/oneinanarmy/...

Time flies & it's time for an update! So far 144 has supported #OneInAnArirang with donations toward Korean diasporic arts and culture🎊 We did some math... 27+144=1-7-1. OIAA, 7 legends, 1 ARMY. No matter the number, it always comes back to this: "we are only seven with you"💜

GYOPO also strives to foster community bonds while raising awareness on social issues- such as the right for all to access quality food. Have a look at this 'sustainable seafood brunch' that brought together various generations for salty delights & fun times! 🐟 📷: Caitlin Chung
