"JYJ's youthful, dynamic and global image matches the direction our company is headed for and for the celebration of the 50th anniversary of KEPCO," a PR official from KEPCO was quoted as saying. "We hope to fulfill various projects worldwide with the group."

"I have always heard positive things about KEPCO and of the many social contributions that they made to the less fortunate," member Jaejoong was quoted as saying, while Yuchun and Junsu said they will work hard on their activities overseas like KEPCO.
