The group SEVENTEEN (S.COUPS, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, THE 8, Mingyu, Dokyeom, Seungkwan, Vernon, Dino), who serves as UNESCO youth goodwill ambassadors, has once again practiced meaningful sharing.
On the 13th, according to their agency Pledis Entertainment, SEVENTEEN donated $250,000 in revenue from the charity auction 'JOOPITER presents: sacai x SEVENTEEN' held the previous day in celebration of International Youth Day. The donation will be used to strengthen the Global Youth Grant Scheme launched by SEVENTEEN and UNESCO.
SEVENTEEN stated through their agency, "Since our debut, we have expressed the colorful moments of youth through music that captures genuine experiences and emotions, so the meaning of International Youth Day is especially significant for us." They added, "We deliver a message of support to all youth around the world who are still pursuing their dreams."
In 2023, SEVENTEEN was invited as the first K-pop artist to the 13th 'UNESCO Youth Forum' held at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, France, where they delivered a speech and performance. Last year, they were appointed as UNESCO's first youth goodwill ambassadors and donated $1 million to create a fund to enhance the creativity and well-being of youth worldwide. This fund is used to support self-directed projects for 100 youth groups for a better future.
SEVENTEEN will hold their 'SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [NEW_]' starting from September 13-14 at the Incheon Asiad Main Stadium, continuing their journey as 'global top artists.' They plan to perform at the Hong Kong Kai Tak Stadium on the 27th-28th of that month, followed by performances in five cities in the U.S. in October and four major domes in Japan from November to December.
