JYP donates 500 million won to aid victims of large-scale wildfires in Gyeongnam and Gyeongbuk

JYP Entertainment donated 500 million won to the social welfare organization World Vision to help local residents and children affected by the large-scale wildfires in Gyeongnam and Gyeongbuk.

The donation will be used to guarantee the right to survival of approximately 10,000 people who are in need of emergency support from wildfire victims in Uiseong and Sancheong counties and to support their psychological and emotional recovery. It will be used to provide emergency relief supplies including blankets and necessities kits, emergency living expenses and home appliances and furniture support, and psychological and emotional support for residents and children.

JYP Entertainment said, “We would like to express our deepest condolences to the victims who lost their homes due to the sudden wildfires, and we hope that the local residents and children who are having a hard time will gain hope and return to their daily lives as soon as possible.”

Previously, JYP Entertainment donated 300 million won to World Vision in March 2022 for children and victims of the large-scale wildfires in the Gangwon and Gyeongbuk regions and 500 million won to children and local residents affected by the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria in February 2023. In order to give back to society the support and love they have received from the public, they are systemizing their CSR (corporate social responsibility) activities and actively carrying out various social contribution projects.

JYP Entertainment started by holding a year-end charity concert at Samsung Seoul Hospital in 2002 to spread joy to patients in the pediatric ward, and since 2019, under the catchphrase ‘EDM (Every Dream Matters! : All dreams in the world are precious)’, they have been carrying out the ‘EDM Treatment Cost Support Project’ to support the treatment costs of children with incurable diseases who are experiencing economic difficulties, the ‘EDM Wish Fulfillment Project’ to emotionally support children with incurable diseases and give them hope, and the ‘Love Earth’ eco-friendly project to create a healthier foundation for life.
