Singer and actor Lee Jun-ho donated 100 million won to help treat underprivileged children and adolescents.

Recently, Lee Jun-ho donated 100 million won to Samsung Seoul Hospital to support the treatment of underprivileged children and adolescents. The funds donated to Samsung Seoul Hospital will be used for treatment of children and adolescents with surgery, transplants, rehabilitation, and emotional support programs.

Through his agency JYP Entertainment, Lee Jun-ho said, “I participated in sharing in the hopes of repaying the love I received during Christmas and helping children in need have a warm year-end. I hope that more children will grow up healthy and dream in the coming new year. I want to continue to show interest and love to places that need a helping hand.”

Lee Jun-ho is consistently spreading his positive influence. He developed a relationship with World Vision, an international relief and development NGO, in 2011 through sponsoring children in Ethiopia and Ghana, and after being officially appointed as a World Vision goodwill ambassador in 2012, he actively participated in various activities including the ‘Global 6K for Water’ campaign. Starting in 2015, he set up a booth promoting the child sponsorship program at his solo concerts held in 2017 and 2024, leading participation and creating a healthy sharing culture with fans.

In 2019, he donated money to the Hope Bridge Disaster Relief Association to provide relief supplies and aid in recovery from the wildfires in Gangwon-do, and in the same year, he donated a vehicle for users of a facility for the severely disabled in Seocho-gu, Seoul. In 2020, he provided emergency relief funds to World Vision for children suffering from coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19), and practiced good influence by carrying out an eco-friendly comfort funding project to be provided to Mongolian children as part of the 2022 overseas children‘s treatment cost support agreement between JYP Entertainment and World Vision. Realizing the value of sharing through donations, volunteer work, and sponsorship activities, he was named a member of the Love Fruit Honor Society, a group of high-value donors who have donated more than 100 million won this year.

Meanwhile, Lee Junho is preparing to release the Netflix series ‘Cashier’ next year, and will hold a fan concert ‘2025 Lee Junho FAN-CON ’ (〈Midnight Sun〉) at Incheon Inspire Arena on January 25th and 26th. He will then travel to Tokyo on February 8th and 9th, and São Paulo on March 1st and 2nd (local time). In addition, the filming of tvN’s ‘Typhoon Boss’ is also coming up, and he is excited for 2025, which will be busier than anyone else.
