NewJeans huge donation to children and youth
The K-pop group donated 100 million KRW (About 70,000 USD) to children and youth caring for family members. These children are those who take on the responsibility of the house and start working at a young age because the adults in their family are either ill or old age or have disabilities.
In a statement on December 19, childcare organisation ChildFund Korea said, โMinji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein donated 100 million KRW to reduce the caregiving burden on children and adolescents caring for their families at the end of the year, helping them find balance in their lives and focus on their growth,โ as reported by AllKpop.
Their donation money will provide household necessities and support to 30 households across Korea including living expenses, housing, education, medical care, and promoting self-reliance through career and employment assistance.
