Ju-yeon of THE BOYZ donated his entire modeling fee for the fashion magazine "DAZED KOREA." Ju-yeon, who recently did a photo shoot for the magazine, wore items with the slogan of the World Food Programme (WFP) "Saving Lives, Changing Lives" engraved on them, conveying the message of "Zero Hunger." The items he wore are all part of the WFP collection that Balenciaga has been working on in collaboration with WFP since 2018. Through this 6th collection campaign, Balenciaga aims to solve hunger for people around the world affected by conflict and disasters, and build a foundation for a better future. Ju-yeon's full modeling fee donation to WFP this time also became an activity to bring hope to children around the world. In an interview with the magazine, he expressed his thoughts, saying, "I am honored to be able to participate in a campaign that has a positive impact with WFP, a global organization, and Balenciaga," and "I hope that through this campaign, children around the world can be freed from hunger and create a world where they can grow up healthier. I would like to continue to show interest in warm activities that save children around the world and actively participate in them." The warm-hearted photos and interview of Ju-yeon are currently featured in the April issue of "DAZED KOREA" and on the official website.
