Park Jin-young, the 'head' of JYP Entertainment, donated 1 billion KRW from his personal funds again this year to support medical expenses for vulnerable groups, following last year's donation of 1 billion KRW. On the 5th, JYP Entertainment announced, "Park Jin-young has decided to make a generous donation of 1 billion KRW this year as well to help vulnerable children and adolescents struggling with high surgery and treatment costs," adding, "The fund raised from Park Jin-young's personal contribution will be distributed as 200 million KRW each to five regional base hospitals in Korea, including Seoul Samsung Medical Center, totaling 1 billion KRW, and will be used for children in need of compassionate care."

Last year, he also donated a total of 1 billion KRW, with 500 million KRW each to Samsung Medical Center and the international relief and development NGO World Vision, to assist domestic and overseas pediatric patients with surgery, transplantation, rehabilitation treatment, disabilities caused by accidents and diseases, viral infections, and congenital rare incurable diseases. Over two years, he has donated a total of 2 billion KRW from his personal assets. To commemorate this, on the afternoon of the 4th, a plaque of appreciation ceremony for 'Support for Medical Expenses for Vulnerable Groups Domestically and Abroad' was held at the JYP Entertainment headquarters in Seongnae-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul.

At the event, Park Jin-young said, "I also have two daughters aged 3 and 4. As a father raising children, it breaks my heart to think about how difficult it must be for so many children to be sick, and how overwhelming it must be when they also lack the funds for treatment," adding, "I decided to deliver the funds to hospitals so that they can be directly used for pediatric patients who need medical expenses." He also said, "The reason for officially making the donation was because I felt that fans who heard the news joined in doing good together and that the positive influence spread further."

Last year, Park Jin-young was also appointed as a member of World Vision's 'Bob Pierce Honor Club,' a group of high-value donors who have donated over 10 million KRW. In addition to personally contributing his own funds, he continues various social contribution activities as the representative producer of JYP. Since 2002, he has shared joy with pediatric ward patients through year-end charity concerts held at Samsung Medical Center with his affiliated artists, and since 2019, he has been actively carrying out various projects under the catchphrase "EDM (Every Dream Matters!)." These include the 'EDM Medical Expense Support Project' which supports treatment costs for children with incurable diseases, the 'EDM Wish Fulfillment Project' which provides emotional support and hope to children with incurable diseases, and the eco-friendly project 'Love Earth' which fosters healthier living environments.
