The news of EXO's Baekhyun's donation was reported late. Yesterday (26th), at the Shilla Hotel's reception hall in Jung-gu, Seoul, Baekhyun was invited as a donor member to the 50th anniversary ceremony of the National Central Museum Association, 'New Past, Old Future,' where his good deeds were conveyed. The National Central Museum Association is an organization that supports museums, actively engaging in public cultural projects aimed at promoting traditional culture through donations and cultural donations from people who love museums, supporting the donation of artifacts, exhibition room improvement projects, and the development of academia and education. In January of this year, Baekhyun donated 50 million won (about 550,000 yen) with the hope that it would help recover Korean artifacts that had not been returned. The donation is being used to recover Korean artifacts that have not been returned from various countries for the sake of future generations. He conveyed that he had the feeling that he wanted the National Central Museum, which represents Korea, to establish a better exhibition environment and for the unreturned Korean artifacts to return to their original places and interact sufficiently with many people. As a key figure in the global K-POP boom and a lover of Korean culture, Baekhyun has always thought about giving back culturally to many people for the love he has received, and after experiencing the various meaningful activities of the National Central Museum Association, he participated in the donation. He recorded 1,096,995 copies sold in the first week of his 4th mini-album 'Hello, World,' released on September 6, setting a new personal best record.
