SEVENTEEN member Joshua will once again take the stage at the UNESCO headquarters.

According to HYBE music group label Pledis Entertainment on the 16th, Joshua will attend the 'UNESCO x SEVENTEEN: Celebrating Youth, Creativity and Well-Being Together' commemorative event on the 25th (local time) at UNESCO headquarters in Paris, France, in his capacity as a UNESCO Youth Goodwill Ambassador.

The event was held to commemorate the global youth support program 'Going Together - For Youth Creativity & Well-Being' (hereinafter 'Going Together'), jointly promoted by SEVENTEEN and UNESCO. Representing the group, Joshua will take the stage to encourage young people worldwide. Khaled El-Enany, UNESCO Director-General, is also expected to attend.

When SEVENTEEN was appointed as UNESCO Youth Goodwill Ambassadors in 2024, they donated 1 million dollars to establish the Global Youth Grant Scheme. The funds were used to support projects aimed at strengthening young people's confidence and resilience through music, arts, and sports; developing creative youth communities; and improving youth mental health.

Additionally, SEVENTEEN made an additional donation of proceeds from the 'JOOPITER presents: sacai x SEVENTEEN' charity auction held last year on the occasion of World Youth Day. The funds will be used to provide advanced support to 10 teams among the 100th youth groups that participated in 'Going Together' and achieved outstanding results.

SEVENTEEN was invited to the 13th 'UNESCO Youth Forum' held at UNESCO headquarters in November 2023, where they conducted a special session as the first K-pop artists. In June of the following year, they were appointed as UNESCO's first Youth Goodwill Ambassadors.
