According to YG Entertainment, they aim to raise a total of 60 Million Won for the campaign. The amount which will be collected until the end of the month will be used to support children and adolescents’ needs, including education support, medical care, art programs, and other categories.
“We hope the children and teenagers can grow up in an environment where they can dream and experience as much as they want,” TREASURE said in a press release. “We hope that our assistance can enable them to take a step forward,” the “DARARI” singers added.
In the group’s X account, the idols also encouraged their fans, Treasure Makers or Teumes, to participate in the program. “We ask for your interest in the double fundraising box that we personally selected,” they said.

More about TREASURE
Originally a 12-member group, TREASURE made their debut in February 2020 with the track “Boy.” For those unfamiliar, the band was formed through the reality-survival program Treasure Box in 2019.
Currently, TREASURE is composed of 10 members: Hyunsuk, Jihoon, Yoshi, Junkyu, Jaehyuk, Asahi, Haruto, Doyoung, Jeongwoo, and Junghwan. In November 2022, YG Entertainment announced that members Bang Ye-Dam and Mashiho officially parted ways with the group.
With their four years in the K-pop scene, TREASURE has gained recognition for their upbeat music. In their powerful discography, they are most known for bop tracks “Bona Bona,” “Hello,” “Jikjin,” among others.
Moreover, the group had its latest comeback in July 2023 with the release of their second full-length album REBOOT. In the same month, TREASURE’s first official sub-unit, T5, was revealed. Composed of Jihoon, Junkyu, Jaehyuk, Doyoung and Junghwan, T5 exhibited their dancing skills with the release of their first single “Move.”
In 2024, the 10-piece act is set to light up the Japan stage as they are bound to perform in multiple cities for their REBOOT concert tour.
