Galaxy Corporation, the agency of group BIGBANG leader G-Dragon (real name Kwon Ji-yong), donated 500 million won to the JUSPEACE Foundation, aligning with G-Dragon's philosophy of supporting future generations.

According to the JUSPEACE Foundation (Myeong Ye-i (President) G-Dragon) and Galaxy Corporation on the 14th, they will hold 'JUSPEACE DAY 50' at Seoul Galaxy Robot Park on August 18, G-Dragon's birthday, to support 50 young artists.

This project originated from G-Dragon's long-standing statement: "I want to create more opportunities for artists and support future generations."

Especially significant this time is that the initiative extends beyond the positive influence of individual artists; Galaxy Corporation donated 500 million won, provided exhibition space, and expanded the artist's philosophy into corporate social contribution.

This demonstrates a new partnership model where an entertainment company does not limit its relationship with its affiliated artist to management and business collaboration but instead jointly invests in and executes the social values the artist pursues.

The JUSPEACE Foundation has continuously discovered promising emerging artists since launching the SOP open call for an emerging artist discovery project last December, through initiatives such as 'LOOP PLUS Busan' and BAC Art Fair's 'JUSPEACE FOCUS'.

Among these, the works of 50 selected young artists will be supported based on Galaxy Corporation's 500 million won donation and are scheduled for permanent exhibition throughout Seoul Galaxy Robot Park. Through this, Galaxy Robot Park will serve not only as a future technology space for experiencing robots and AI but also as a cultural arts platform where emerging artists' works continuously meet the public.

During the 'JUSPEACE DAY 50' event, visitors will be able to leave encouraging messages on the 'Wall of Hope' by finding artists and works that moved them. Some artworks will find new collectors through charity auctions, with proceeds earmarked for public welfare activities supporting future-generation artists.

Oh Hee-young, president of the JUSPEACE Foundation, stated, "One of the most crucial supports for young artists is creating opportunities for their works to meet the world."

Additionally, Galaxy Corporation conveyed plans to build a sustainable social contribution model together with the JUSPEACE Foundation, progressing from 'artist discovery → artwork support → permanent exhibition → connection with the public → creation of new opportunities.'
