Ryewook conducted volunteer activities for youth preparing for independence. The social welfare corporation Angels Haven announced on the 4th that Ryewook, along with family and acquaintances who volunteered, visited the specialized support institution for youth preparing for independence, Dream Plus, to carry out mural painting volunteer work.

This volunteer activity was made possible through the collaboration between SM Entertainment's social contribution brand SMile and Angels Haven. Ryewook and the volunteers participated voluntarily, proposing ideas themselves and working together, which made the event particularly meaningful. Ryewook delivered a message of encouragement to the youth preparing for independence, saying, "I hope you believe in yourself and face the future with confidence." He added, "Through this volunteer work, I hope that those in need receive small comfort and smiles, and that more people become interested in volunteering and share warm hearts together."

Youth preparing for independence refers to young people who have been protected in child care facilities and other institutions but whose protection ends after turning 18, leading them to enter society. A representative from Angels Haven explained, "Youth preparing for independence often face not only economic difficulties due to differences in family environments but also social prejudice and discrimination." He added, "This volunteer activity is meaningful in that it improved the spaces used by youth preparing for independence while a widely loved public figure personally delivered a message of support."

Angels Haven is a social welfare corporation established in 1959 after the Korean War to support children and people with disabilities in need of protection. The organization provides professional and systematic welfare services for children, adolescents, and people with disabilities. A representative stated, "We will continue to offer various support to help youth achieve healthy independence, ensuring that the warm hearts of volunteers, including Ryewook, are well conveyed to the youth preparing for independence."

This volunteer activity is expected to have a positive impact on youth preparing for independence. The volunteers beautified the space through mural painting and conveyed messages of hope to the youth. This is evaluated as helpful for youth preparing for independence to adapt to society.

The social welfare corporation Angels Haven plans to continue supporting youth preparing for independence through various programs. The organization will spare no effort in providing ongoing attention and support so that the youth can establish themselves stably in society.

Ryewook's volunteer work is regarded as a good example of celebrities fulfilling their social responsibilities. Volunteer activities voluntarily participated in by celebrities have a positive influence on the public and contribute to raising social awareness.

This mural painting volunteer activity is expected not only to provide practical help to youth preparing for independence but also to play an important role in spreading the value of sharing throughout society. Angels Haven will continue to support the independence of youth preparing for independence through various programs.
