On November 28, JYP ENTERTAINMENT announced on Weibo: “We have made a donation of 2,000,000 HKD (approximately 235 thousand euros) via World Vision Hong Kong.” The funds will be used to provide temporary shelter and psychological support to children and residents affected.

We hope that, beyond mountains and seas, small acts of care will come together to become a light, and that the affected residents will regain peace and quickly overcome these difficulties.”
