Sunwoo, a member of the group Enhypen, is a hot topic for quietly practicing good deeds.

According to the music industry on the 11th, Enhypen‘s Sunwoo donated 100 million won to the Samsung Seoul Hospital in December of last year under the name of the Patient Happiness Fund. It is known that Sunwoo made the donation alone without letting anyone know about it. His good deed was belatedly revealed when his name was listed as a donor on the Samsung Seoul Hospital website.

On that day, a Belift Lab official explained, “We quietly made the donation according to Sunwoo’s wishes. The donation will be used meaningfully as a patient happiness fund.” The hospital plans to use the donation to cover the treatment costs of patients in need and to operate patient support programs.

Meanwhile, Enhypen, which Sunwoo is a member of, debuted in 2020 and has grown into a top-tier K-pop group. Last year alone, Enhypen recorded over 5.45 million album sales. With their second full-length album, ‘Romance: Untold’, they ranked 4th on the ‘Global Album Chart 2024’ and 2nd on the ‘Global Album Sales Chart’ selected by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).

They also recently won 5 awards at the ‘1st The Awards’, including the grand prize ‘Album of the Year’, the main prize ‘The Awards Delight’, the ‘Group Popularity Award’, which was selected 100% by global fan voting, ‘Best Group’, and ‘Best Tour’, which is the most titles.

They will perform at the ‘Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival’, the largest music festival in the U.S. in April. This makes them the K-pop boy group to participate in the festival in the shortest amount of time.
