SEVENTEEN, who is active as a UNESCO Youth Goodwill Ambassador, has donated again. Today (13th), according to their agency Pledis Entertainment, SEVENTEEN donated $250,000 (about 37 million yen) from the proceeds of the charity auction 'JOOPITER presents: sacai x SEVENTEEN' on the occasion of World Youth Day the day before. The donation will be used to strengthen the Global Youth Grant Scheme established together by SEVENTEEN and UNESCO. 'JOOPITER presents: sacai x SEVENTEEN' is a limited collection showcased in collaboration with the fashion brand sacai and the digital commerce content platform JOOPITER founded by legendary artist and producer Pharrell Williams. Leather jackets produced by the members and T-shirts signed by them were released, attracting attention. A limited edition collaboration with the popular character Lovebu created by Kasing Lung and a necklace in collaboration with designer Yoon Ahn were also sold. SEVENTEEN expressed through their agency, 'Since our debut, we have grown by expressing the colorful moments of youth through music that reflects our honest experiences and emotions, so the significance of World Youth Day is even more special,' and shared their message of support for all young people around the world pursuing their dreams. In 2023, they were invited as the first K-POP artists to the 13th UNESCO Youth Forum held at UNESCO headquarters in Paris, where they delivered speeches and performances. Last year, they were appointed as UNESCO's first Youth Goodwill Ambassadors and donated $1 million (about 148 million yen) to create a fund for enhancing the creativity and well-being of youth worldwide. This fund supports self-directed projects of 100 youth groups for a better future. SEVENTEEN will hold the 'SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [NEW_]' starting from Incheon Asiad Main Stadium on September 13-14, continuing their activities as a 'global top artist.' After performances at Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong on September 27-28, they plan to perform in five cities in the U.S. in October and tour four major domes in Japan from November to December.
