[SPOTV News = Reporter Jang Jin-ri] Singer and JYP Entertainment (hereinafter JYP) representative producer Park Jin-young This year, he donated 1 billion won of his personal wealth to underprivileged children both domestically and internationally. Starting in 2022, he will donate a total of 4 billion won of his personal wealth over four years, giving back to society the love he has received from the public, truly practicing "noblesse oblige."

JYP announced on the 5th that Jinyoung Park donated 1 billion won this year to help underprivileged children and adolescents in Korea and abroad who are struggling with high surgery and treatment costs.

The fund, created with Park Jin-young's personal funds, will be donated to Gachon University Gil Hospital, Konkuk University Hospital, and Seoul National University Children's Hospital, with 200 million won each, and 400 million won to World Vision, to be used for children in need.

Donations made to World Vision will be used to support overseas medical treatment for children in Mexico and Brazil, as well as to support disaster recovery and children in Asian regions such as Thailand, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka, which have recently suffered severe damage from floods and landslides.

In particular, Park Jin-young has been spreading his positive influence and serving as a social role model through generous personal donations of 1 billion won annually from 2022 to 2025, totaling 4 billion won over four years. Having enjoyed widespread love and maintained his position at the top of the music industry for over 30 years, he is leading the way in a culture of giving through his consistent, sincere donations.

JYP Entertainment, headed by Park Jin-young, also donated 1.714 billion won to the EDM treatment support project this year, saving precious lives. Since 2020, the company has donated a cumulative 7.92 billion won, extending a helping hand to over 3,000 children both domestically and internationally.

On the afternoon of the 4th, a ceremony was held to donate 1 billion won to "support the medical expenses of vulnerable groups at home and abroad" at JYP Entertainment's headquarters in Seongnae-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul. Key figures in attendance, including donor Park Jin-young, Gachon University Gil Hospital Director Kim Woo-kyung, Konkuk University Hospital Planning and Coordination Director Kim Cheol-jung, Seoul National University Hospital Children's Hospital Director Choi Eun-hwa, and World Vision Sharing Division Director Na Yoon-cheol, highlighted the purpose of the donation and reflected on its meaningful significance.

Park Jin-young said, "I ask that you provide good treatment to all children with limitless potential to change the world so that they can freely pursue their dreams and grow up healthy. I also hope that the treatment will be delivered to those who really need it. In particular, I have two daughters, ages 6 and 5. When I meet children who have received treatment, my heart deepens because their eyes are bright and sparkling just like my daughters'. In the future, not only I personally, but also JYP Entertainment and JYP artists will work hard to continue sharing. I hope that the donations will be used transparently so that the culture of donation can spread and help children in need."

Starting with holding a year-end charity concert at Samsung Medical Center in 2002 to spread joy to patients in the pediatric ward, Park Jin-young and JYP systematized their CSR (corporate social responsibility) activities in 2019. Under the catchphrase 'EDM (Every Dream Matters!),' they are actively promoting the 'EDM Medical Treatment Support Project' to support the medical expenses of children experiencing economic difficulties, the 'EDM Wish Granting Project' to provide emotional support and hope to children with incurable diseases, and the 'Love Earth' eco-friendly project to create a healthier living environment.

Park Jin-young is performing a 'ministerial-level' public service as he was jointly appointed as the chairman of the Popular Culture Exchange Committee with Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Choi Hwi-young.
