G-Dragon (Kwon Ji-yong) has detailed his plans for establishing a foundation dedicated to drug eradication, which he announced through a handwritten letter on the 21st.
According to Galaxy Corporation, G-Dragon's agency and an AI metaverse company, the foundation will be named 'JUSPEACE Foundation,' combining the words justice and peace. The foundation's slogan is 'Guard the Peace & Love of Justice / Justice of Love,' which was also G-Dragon's closing remark in his recent letter.
The initial funding of 300 million Won (Approx. 230,769 US Dollars) will be donated solely by G-Dragon. In his letter on the 21st, he stated that the first donation would be made in the name of VIP (Big Bang's fandom) and based on the campaign activity 'Guardians of Daisy,' voluntarily initiated in light of recent events.
Yong-ho Choi, CEO of Galaxy Corporation, mentioned, "The foundation is established on the strong will of Kwon Ji-yong to create a society free of prejudice through his music, and will conduct activities accordingly. The first project of the foundation will focus on drug eradication and treatment activities for addicted youth."
G-Dragon, who noted in his letter the alarming increase in juvenile drug offenders and the lack of adequate treatment facilities, plans to raise awareness about the dangers of drugs through the campaign and urge continuous efforts for drug eradication. He aims to spread awareness about societal issues with his fans and provide hope and opportunities to youth.
The foundation's goal is to support those suffering from prejudice and injustice, promote awareness and solutions for social issues, and strive for a fair society where everyone is treated equally.
To achieve this, G-Dragon is selecting experts in medical health, public policy and administration, welfare, and culture to join the advisory committee. Once the committee is formed, it will set the direction for the foundation's public interest activities.
An amazing human who keeps his words 👏🏻
