Singer-actor Lee Junho donates 100 million KRW to support pediatric and adolescent healthcare

Singer and actor Junho has made a generous donation of 100 million KRW (approximately 75,000 USD) to support the treatment of children and adolescents from underprivileged backgrounds.

The contribution has been made to the Samsung Medical Center, where the donation will be used for surgeries, transplants, rehabilitation treatments, and emotional support programs for pediatric and adolescent patients.

Through his agency, JYP Entertainment, Junho shared his thoughts, stating, “As Christmas approaches, I wanted to give back the love I’ve received and help children in need have a warm holiday season. I hope the upcoming new year brings health and dreams to more children. I want to continue showing care and love for those who need help.”

Junho has consistently made a positive impact through his philanthropic efforts. His relationship with the international relief NGO World Vision began in 2011 when he supported children in Ethiopia and Ghana. He was formally appointed as a World Vision ambassador in 2012, actively participating in initiatives such as the ‘Global 6K for Water’ campaign.

 Junho has included child sponsorship promotion booths at his solo concerts, encouraging fan participation and fostering a culture of giving. In 2019, he donated to the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association to assist recovery efforts for regions affected by wildfires in Gangwon Province. That same year, he donated a vehicle for residents of a facility for people with severe disabilities in Seoul’s Seocho District.

In 2020, Junho provided emergency relief funds to World Vision to aid children impacted by COVID-19. In 2022, he collaborated with JYP Entertainment and World Vision to fund eco-friendly comforters for children in Mongolia as part of a treatment support agreement for overseas children. 

Through donations, volunteer work, and sponsorship activities, he continues to embody the value of sharing. This year, he became a member of the Honor Society, a group of high-value donors contributing over 100 million KRW to the Community Chest of Korea.

Junho is set to star in the upcoming Netflix series ‘Cashero,’ and will hold his fan concert, ‘2025 Lee Junho FAN-CON ,’ on January 25th and 26th at Inspire Arena in Incheon. 

The concert will also take him to Tokyo on February 8th and 9th, and to São Paulo on March 1st and 2nd (local time). 

Additionally, he is preparing for filming the tvN drama ‘Taepung Sangsa,’ promising an exciting and packed schedule for 2025 that has fans eagerly anticipating his projects.
