ENHYPEN's Jungwon has celebrated his birthday and made a donation. The Love's Real Social Welfare Joint Fund (Chairman: Yoon Yeo-jun) revealed today (9th) that "Jungwon has pledged 100 million won (about 1 million dollars) and has become the 3,886th member of the 'Honor Society', a gathering of high-value individual donors of Love's Real." This donation was made to commemorate Jungwon's birthday. He made the donation to give back to society in gratitude for the love he has received from fans. Jungwon expressed his intention to continue sharing every year, not just with a one-time donation. The donation will be used for support projects and welfare services for vulnerable children and youth, with 20 million won (about 200,000 dollars) allocated each year for five years. Jungwon stated, "As a K-POP artist who is greatly loved, I have always thought that the attention and support I receive are not something to be taken for granted," and added, "In the process, I naturally became interested in the rights and environments that many people should enjoy as a matter of course." He further added, "I hope my small sharing will be a strong support and courage for children who are not given the rights that should be granted as they face barriers in their environment." ENHYPEN ranked second in the 'Talents of the Year Under 30' category in the '2025 Annual Report' released by global content analysis company Parrot Analytics, proving their global influence. Additionally, through their world tour 'WALK THE LINE' last year, they held a total of 32 performances in 19 cities worldwide, attracting approximately 676,000 spectators, gaining global popularity.
