[The Fact|Reporter Park Ji-yoon] The group NewJeans delivered the love they received at the university festival to places in need.
Ador, the agency, announced on the 3rd, "We donated all proceeds from NewJeans' college festival to the Korea Scholarship Foundation." This donation will be used to support living and housing expenses for low-income college students.
New Jeans said through their agency, "We received great strength and a lot of love while performing on stage at 7 college festivals in a week. We wanted to give back the love we received to college students in need. We are grateful to be given this opportunity."
The Korea Scholarship Foundation said, “We would like to thank Adore and New Genes for their commitment to donate to financially difficult college students. We will do our best to help college students in difficult circumstances continue their studies in a stable manner, and we will support the scholarship students to the donation source.” “I hope that it will become a social garden that carries on the idea and practices a virtuous cycle of sharing,” he said.
