A fan with a terminal illness got a chance to meet Block B, where they gave them all matching bracelets. All members wore the bracelets during the filming of their last episode of 5MBC.
Ukwon, after reading a book where one of the central characters was a man in a homosexual relationship, said that the book taught him that there was no difference between human beings.
A fan tweeted Zico, saying that he’d lost his ticket to a concert Jiho was preforming at and wanted to know if he could do anything to help. Zico replied saying that he’d talk to the ticket box about it and see if he could get him another one. He’s done this twice now.
Taeil not only remembers the names and faces of his fansite directors, he’ll hold conversations with them during fansigns, and will share candy/snacks and small toys with them that he’d received from other fans.
Before the interview that sparked the Thailand Scandal in 2012, All members individually donated the USD equivalent of $200 to disaster relief in Thailand. They also donated all of the earnings from their Thailand showcase to charities involved in relation to the flood, and with the help of Thai BBC’s, donated books to schools that had been destroyed/damaged in the flood.
Because they weren’t being paid sufficiently for their performances, P.O bought and paid for all of the stage outfits the group wore during Tell Them promotions.
It’s not known if he still does this, but around the time they were promoting Nalina, Kyung donated the USD equivalent of $200 a month to children in Africa.
In 2012, Jaehyo retweeted a fun fact: “ In ancient Rome, a man proven guilty of rape would have his testicles crushed with two stones.” and added onto it: “This should be quickly introduced domestically.”
In July, 2015, All members participated in an anti-bullying campaign headed by the Seoul Police Department, called the Seoul Police x Block B School Peace Project. The song HER was partially rewritten to include lyrics such as ‘Our friend’s pain is our pain, Let’s all talk about our troubles’. They also filmed a new music video, in which the members performed in the hallways of an arts high school and stopped acts of violence.
During Very Good Promotions, All Members participated in a WeGeneration fundraising campaign for a high school student named Jihye. Jihye dreamed of becoming a lawyer, but because of her responsibilities to her ailing grandmother, could not afford even a desk to work on. Block B contributed signed albums in a lottery, the proceeds from which went to Jihye through the fundraiser.
In the Sewol ferry tragedy of 2014, an avid fan of Block B was killed. It is unknown how, but Block B became aware of her passing, Zico, her favorite member, in particular. He went to attend her funeral with a letter to her that he had written himself, and spoke and cried with her parents for over an hour afterwards. He invited her parents to the concert that their daughter had planned on attending, and during said concert, he ‘[…] even called out into the audience saying, ‘Are you watching, Yoo (name ommited)? Are you enjoying the show? I hope this next song will be able to reach out to you…’. The date of the tragedy, 4/16, is something Zico has also referenced multiple times. His solo songs ‘Tough Cookie’ and ‘Well Done’ have both been 4 minutes, 16 seconds long, a direct and personal sign of respect to the date.
