BLACKPINK's Jennie conveyed a heart of goodwill. Today (24th), Jinusean's SEAN posted on his SNS that "BLACKPINK's Jennie donated 100 million won (about 1 million dollars) to the briquette bank, hoping it will be used for elderly people in need of briquettes through the project 'Raising the Temperature of Korea by 1 Degree' that I am conducting, combining the proceeds from her photo exhibition 'J2NNI5' held in January and her personal funds." He continued, "With 100 million won, we can purchase 112,000 briquettes, allowing 560 households to stay warm with briquettes for a month during the cold winter," explaining that for some, briquettes are not an option but a necessity to survive winter. He expressed gratitude to Jennie, saying, "Thank you for making Korea a little warmer!" Along with this, SEAN published a certificate showing that he sponsored 100 million won under Kim Jennie's (Jennie's real name) name, creating a warm atmosphere. BLACKPINK will release their 3rd mini-album 'DEADLINE' on the 27th and make a full group comeback.
