JYP Entertainment and Park Jin-young (J.Y. Park) have donated funds to support medical care for vulnerable children in Mexico. The total donation amounts to 550 million won (7.5 million pesos), comprising 450 million won from JYP Entertainment and 10 billion won from Park Jin-young's personal contribution.

According to JYP Entertainment on the 23rd, as part of its social contribution project "EDM (Every Dream Matters!: All Dreams in the World Are Precious)," the company has launched a specialized medical support program targeting children with illnesses in Mexico.

This collaboration was initiated to expand access to specialized medical care across various fields including ophthalmology, pediatric respiratory medicine, cardiology, neurology, epilepsy, orthopedics, congenital malformations and rare diseases, pediatric hematology-oncology, nephrology, and urology. Recently, JYP Entertainment founder and Chief Creative Officer (CCO) Park Jin-young met directly with key partner hospitals, including medical teams from World Vision Mexico, World Vision Korea, the Mexican Association for Blindness Prevention (APEC), and institutional investors to align their efforts.

The support program aims to save children's lives and encourage their dreams by connecting children and adolescents diagnosed with severe illnesses to respective hospitals for specialized treatment, surgery, provision of assistive medical devices, and chemotherapy. Selection of beneficiary children involves a preliminary assessment of economic vulnerability conducted through the social welfare offices of partner hospitals, followed by comprehensive review by World Vision Mexico and World Vision Korea based on donor criteria.

Park Jin-young stated, "While we love singing and performing for our fans, the ultimate purpose of being here today is to help children. I am a singer, but also a father of two daughters aged seven and ten. Every time I see my daughters smiling, I think of other children who cannot realize their dreams due to health issues. Our success is thanks to the love and affection from our fans, so it is only right that we repay that love. It is an honor to join this gathering to unite efforts and raise awareness in order to help more children."

Jo Myeong-hwan, President of World Vision Korea, also remarked, "JYP Entertainment and its affiliated artists have brought hope to children through their ongoing collaboration with World Vision. The EDM medical expense support program began in 2020 and has expanded beyond Asia to Latin America, including Mexico. Even during various disasters, they have not hesitated to provide crucial support." He emphasized that cultural exchange and the strong interest in K-pop are deepening ties between the societies of both countries and among future generations.

Mario Valdez, President of World Vision Mexico, said, "The friendly relationship between our two nations, strengthened through culture and music, has now expanded into a meaningful collaboration to help children and adolescents urgently in need of treatment. Sustainable change requires partnership, and I extend my deepest gratitude to Mr. Park Jin-young, JYP Entertainment, World Vision Korea, APEC hospitals, and all collaborating institutional investors for their collective efforts to ensure children receive treatment and can pursue their dreams."

Virgilio Morales Cantón, Deputy Director of APEC, added, "It is an honor to participate in this global social contribution project. We will continue to provide specialized medical services to more children so they can draw the future they dream of."

Meanwhile, JYP Entertainment has consistently carried out overseas medical support activities for sick children through its EDM medical expense support program in countries including South Korea, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Mongolia, Bangladesh, and Brazil. Since 2020, the company has provided approximately 10.01 billion won across 10 regions, helping 4,489 young patients recover their health and regain the ability to dream. Park Jin-young has also joined this meaningful journey through personal donations of 1 billion won annually since 2022.
