ATEEZ's Hongjoong donates 25 million won on Children's Day... ”I want to give children the wings of their dreams”

Hongjoong (ATEEZ) donated 25 million won to the international relief and development NGO “World Vision” in commemoration of Children's Day.

According to World Vision, the donation will be used to support World Vision's “Wings of Dreams Club,” which will provide 5 million won each to five children.

The “Wings of Dreams Club” is part of World Vision's Dream Support Project, a program that enables children, youth, and university students with dreams and talents in specific areas to take the initiative in planning and implementing their dreams and fulfilling their dreams through customized mentoring.

Hongjoong stated, “The joy of one day on Children's Day is important, but I hope that that one day will become a lifetime of courage,” and revealed, "I feel like I want to give wings of dreams to five children on this Children's Day." He continued, "I am in agreement with the warm purpose of the ‘Wings of Dreams Club’ of ‘World Vision’ and will support the children's growth together."

This is the second donation Hongjoong has made in commemoration of Children's Day. Last May, Hongjoong also donated money to support youths who are caring for their families.

In addition to this donation, he has been steadily doing good deeds such as donating to the community in Zambia through the Global Drinking Water Project and the Global 6K Virtual Running campaign with his fan club, ATINY, after forming a relationship with 'World Vision' in 2022. In particular, this year, he is the official model for the 'Global 6K Marathon' organized by 'World Vision' to encourage participation in the donation marathon.

Meanwhile, Hongjoong was appointed last year as a member of the 'Bob Pierce Analyst Club', an association of high-end supporters of 'World Vision'.
