Doyoung of group NCT (legal name Kim Dong-young, 29) delivered 100 million won in donations to support a program for young people preparing for independence in care, World Vision, an international relief and development nongovernmental organization (NGO), said on the 30th.
According to World Vision, Doyoung decided to donate in the hope of helping young people preparing for independence who still need support even after leaving protection.
Doyoung said, "I want to be of small help to everyone who dreams," and noted, "I will always, even now, keep dreaming endlessly."
World Vision plans to use the donations in cooperation with 13 dedicated independence support agencies nationwide to help 21 young people preparing for independence maintain stable daily lives and build a foundation for self-reliance, including housing costs and emergency living expenses.
Doyoung also donated 100 million won through World Vision in Oct. last year to build a school in Bugondo village, Uganda. Doyoung enlisted as an active-duty Army soldier on Jan. 8 and is serving.
