Seungkwan, a member of the group 'EVENTEEN', donated 20 million won (approximately 2.08 million yen) to the National Heritage Administration and the National Trust for Cultural Heritage, asking that it be used to protect Jeju's precious heritage.
The donation will be used to preserve the Jeju April 3rd Archives, which were registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in April. Seungkwan, a former member of Jeju, has been giving back to his hometown in various ways.
In November last year, when he was appointed as the Jeju Public Relations Ambassador, he donated a donation of his hometown love through the Jeju Provincial Office to support the protection of the Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin, which is designated as an internationally endangered species.
In addition, when Seungkwan attended the 13th UNESCO Youth Forum held at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris, France in 2023, he announced that Jeju would receive a nomination from UNESCO in the field of natural environment.
It was announced that this is the first region in the world to have all three categories designated at the same time. His group, SEVENTEEN, is the first K-pop artist to have a special guest at this event.
Following being allocated an exclusive social media session, last year she was appointed UNESCO's first Youth Goodwill Ambassador, setting a new standard in social contribution activities.
Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN released their 5th full album "HAPPY" on the 26th of last month, the 10th anniversary of their debut.
BURSTDAY" was released.
