JYP Entertainment (JYP) donated 500 million won to support local residents and children who suffered great damage from the large-scale forest fires.

JYP announced on the 27th, “We donated 500 million won to the social welfare corporation World Vision to help local residents and children who suffered damage from the large-scale forest fires in the Gyeongnam and Gyeongbuk regions.” The donation will be used to guarantee the right to survival of the approximately 10,000 people who are in need of emergency support from the forest fires in Uiseong and Sancheong counties and to support their psychological and emotional recovery.

JYP said, “We express our deepest condolences to the victims who lost their homes due to the sudden forest fires. “We hope that local residents and children who are having a hard time can gain hope and return to their daily lives as soon as possible,” he said.

Previously, JYP donated 300 million won to World Vision in March 2022 to support children and evacuees from the large-scale wildfires in the Gangwon and Gyeongbuk regions, and 500 million won to World Vision in February 2023 to support children and local residents affected by the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.

JYP Entertainment is systemizing its CSR (corporate social responsibility) activities and actively carrying out various social contribution projects to give back to society the support and love it has received from the public.

Specifically, since 2019, under the catchphrase ‘EDM’ (Every Dream Matters!: All dreams in the world are precious), it has been carrying out the ‘EDM Treatment Cost Support Project’, a project to support children with incurable diseases, the ‘EDM Wish Fulfillment Project’, and the eco-friendly project ‘Love Earth’.
