Group aespa member Winter donated 100 million won and newly joined the high-value donor group "UNICEF Honors Club"
UNICEF Korea Committee (chairman Jeong Gab-young) said on the 19th, "This donation was made in accordance with Winter's wish to support the recovery of peaceful daily life for children suffering from recent successive conflicts and disasters."
The fund will be used in full to support the healthy growth of children in conflict and disaster areas through physical and psychological treatment, nutrition, health and other services.
Winter, who has long exercised a positive influence through charitable actions for the marginalized, said, "I wanted to return the great love I received from my fans to the world. I hope that all children around the world can keep their dreams, attend school and enjoy normal daily life no matter the circumstances."
Cho Mi-jin, secretary general of the UNICEF Korea Committee, said, "Children are having an even harder time because of unending conflicts and disasters around the globe. We deeply thank Winter for practicing this precious sharing in hopes of restoring peaceful daily life for children worldwide."
UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) is the only agency explicitly mentioned in the Convention on the Rights of the Child as having a role in promoting children's rights, and as a U.N. agency carries out programs worldwide in health, nutrition, water and sanitation, education, protection and emergency relief. The UNICEF Korea Committee, as the representative of UNICEF in Korea, raises funds for children worldwide and promotes children's rights domestically through projects such as making child-friendly societies for UNICEF children.
