Jennie has fulfilled her promise to donate all proceeds from her photo exhibition and added her own personal funds, contributing a total of 100 million KRW(~70,000 USD).
On February 24th KST, singer Sean shared on Instagram that “Jennie donated 100 million KRW to the ‘Raise the Temperature of Korea by 1 Degree’ campaign, adding her own money to the profits from her January photo exhibition ‘J2NNI5.’” The donation will be used to provide coal briquettes to climate vulnerable households across the country.
Sean explained, “With 100 million KRW, 112,000 coal briquettes can be purchased, enough for 560 households to get through one month of the cold winter.” He added, “For some, coal briquettes are not a choice but a necessity to survive the winter,” and expressed gratitude, saying, “Thank you for making Korea a little warmer.”
The released donation certificate lists her legal name, Kim Jennie, and confirms the 100 million KRW contribution. The purpose is specified as “Coal briquette support for climate vulnerable households nationwide.”
Previously, Jennie held her solo photo exhibition ‘J2NNI5’ in Jongno gu, Seoul, from January 16th to 29th in celebration of her 30th birthday, announcing that all ticket proceeds would be donated. This latest contribution not only fulfills that promise but also includes additional funds from her own pocket.
