SEOUL, May 20 (AJP) - JYP Entertainment has signed a social contribution agreement with Seoul Rehabilitation Hospital and donated 100 million won to support rehabilitation treatment for children and young people with disabilities, the company said Monday.
JYP Entertainment and Seoul Rehabilitation Hospital signed the agreement Monday at JYP Center in Seongnae-dong, Gangdong District, Seoul. Seoul Rehabilitation Hospital is a public children's rehabilitation hospital in the Seoul metropolitan area.
The donation will be used to help patients aged 24 or younger cover rehabilitation treatment costs and purchase assistive devices.
Byun Sang-bong, chief financial officer (CFO) and vice president of JYP Entertainment, said the company decided to partner with the hospital to extend its support beyond surgeries and medical treatment to rehabilitation care.
"We hope this will help further develop the pediatric and adolescent rehabilitation system that Seoul Rehabilitation Hospital has built and allow its impact to reach broader communities," Byun said.
Lee Ji-sun, director of Seoul Rehabilitation Hospital, said the funds will be used to provide practical support for patients and families in need of rehabilitation treatment and assistive devices.
The donation is part of JYP's corporate social responsibility program EDM, short for "Every Dream Matters." Launched in 2020, the EDM medical expense support project has helped children in need of surgery and treatment.
From 2020 to 2025, JYP donated a total of 7.92 billion won ($5.25 million) through the program, supporting medical expenses for 4,101 children across 10 countries, including South Korea.
JYP Entertainment said it will continue EDM-related social contribution projects in 2026, including medical expense support, volunteer programs and its Love Earth environmental initiative.
