Male group JYJ (Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun, and Kim Junsu) saw the flood damage caused in Thailand and chose to lend a helping hand by donating 200 million won.
JYJ worked with the World Vision in Thailand Emergency Relief for Flood Recovery group and donated 200 million won to help them with their fundraising goals.
This amount will be able to provide victims of the flood with emergency food and aid, mosquito nets, blankets, water purification systems, and other non-food materials such as information books and other items to help victims recover what they had lost.
JYJ stated that they decided to donate because “The floods in Thailand, with the great amounts of water, has created an excess amount of damage. Because of the love and support the people of Thailand have showed us we promised to do as much as we could [to help them]” and also “We hope for all of the people of Thailand, including the fans and the Korean residents currently in Thailand, to gain stability”
In addition JYJ, along with their label mates Actress Song Jihyo and Park Yoohwan, have recently participated in a charity that sponsors children in Africa, and continue to contribute [to charities] in a positive and active way.
