Last month, Severance Hospital announced the publication of the 'MIND Program,' a clinical manual containing a music-based social skills training program for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. The manual was led by a research team under Professor Chun Geun-ah of the Department of Psychiatry at Yonsei University College of Medicine, and it has garnered attention as Suga also participated as a co-author. The MIND (Music-Interaction-Network-Diversity) program is a therapeutic model that strengthens group interaction through music, designed to complement the limitations of language-centered social skills training. Through the process of playing instruments and performing in ensembles, children naturally recognize signals from others, learn patience, cooperation, and emotional expression, and acquire the skills to form social relationships.
Previously, Suga donated 5 billion won to Yonsei Severance Hospital in 2025 to lead the establishment of the 'Min Yoongi Treatment Center,' which supports the treatment and social independence of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. It is reported that since then, he has continued to act as a practical collaborator beyond simple sponsorship, sharing ideas from the program planning stage and participating directly in musical activities.
Although this is a specialized field somewhat unfamiliar to the general public, interest in autism spectrum disorder is rising thanks to Suga's participation. Among fans, posts about purchasing related books or starting to study are appearing, creating an atmosphere where a movement for voluntary learning is spreading.
The 'MIND Band,' composed of children who grew through the music-based therapy program previously proposed by Suga, is also reported to have achieved results, including holding its inaugural concert late last year.
