JYP donates 300 mln won for Myanmar quake relief

April 9, 2025

K-pop powerhouse JYP Entertainment has donated 300 million won (US$202,300) to World Vision to support emergency relief efforts and child medical treatment in Myanmar, which was hit by a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake last month.

JYP said Wednesday the donation will be used to provide emergency food, daily necessities and drinking water to 11 villages in Mandalay State, an area that suffered significant damage from the earthquake. The fund will also cover child medical expenses and offer psychosocial support, it added.

“We extend our deepest condolences to those who lost their lives, their bereaved families and everyone who lost their homes in an instant,” the company said in a statement.

“We hope that, through this medical support, children and their families can quickly recover from the disaster and return to their daily lives and health.”

The disaster has so far claimed more than 3,500 lives.
