In the midst of a large pile of CFs and endorsements, boy group 2PM is also showing their support for a fund-raising program operated by Korean Internet search giant Naver. The campaign is called Happy Bean: Happy Energy! 2PM has been delegated to represent a Child Care program called Busrugy as their saving box. The total amount of beans they raise will be used to purchase backpacks filled with pens, pencils, erasers, notebooks, and other necessary school supplies. They also released a promotional video, wherein they revealed their hopes for the donation program, and educated the public about the use of the beans. Whenever a Naver user writers a post or sends an e-mail, the user user earns a bean worth 100 won. The beans can later be given to a charitable organization and Naver provides the money for the contribution. "We receive our strength from love," Junsu said. "We receive love from our Hottest fans. Whenever we hear fan chants while performing on stage, we gain a lot of strength. We hope to relay the support we receive from our fans to children in need." They even drew amateur self-portraits of themselves and, as expected, Taecyeon did not forget to include his signature Ok-cat drawing.

"We are aware that our fans have been actively participating in Happy Bean for a while now," Junsu said. He continued, "We are really thankful that our fans are teaching us how to become good people by helping the needy. To be honest, we are still learning about the donation process from our fans. Even partaking in the donation program with Happy Energy by filling up backpacks for children is because we learned of it from our fans too." Wooyoung said, "We always had an interest in donating, but delayed in doing so because we would use the excuse of being too busy. We are all really reflecting on our actions. Now, we have realized how easily we can help children, who are struggling, through the internet. I hope that everyone will be able to help our nation's children go to school, wearing their backpacks with bright and happy expressions on their faces."
