JYJ Gives 600 million KRW (600,000 USD) for Restoration of Japan Earthquake Damages
During the World Tour, Will Hold Support Campaign through SNS (Facebook)
Group JYJ is donating 600 million KRW (approximately 600,000 USD), which is the full amount of the goal for emergency relief donations by World Vision for areas which suffered the most serious harms due to Japan’s Earthquake.
According to their agency on the 16th, JYJ’s donation will provide emergency relief articles/items to Sendai and Fukushima, and are to be used for the city’s reconstruction restoration and a shelter program for children.
JYJ will not stop with this current donation but rather dedicate themselves to long-term aid. They will actively lead the effort to build awareness of the seriousness of the damages from Japan’s earthquake through their 9-city World Tour that begins in Bangkok on the coming April 2nd.
Furthermore, JYJ plan to continuously send their messages of support through the World Vision Japan Homepage. Also, JYJ will unfold through their World Tour SNS website (www.facebook.com/jyjworldtour2011) (T/N: that address does not work yet, perhaps it is www.facebook.com/jyjworldtourconcert), which is operated in conjunction with their official website for the duration of the tour, a campaign for “Take Heart, Japan” comments/replies and a donation program with World Vision with fans all over the world.
Not only that, for the Korean performance which is the finale of the World Tour, JYJ will add meaning by inviting volunteers (of Japan relief).
JYJ said: “To be honest, we hesitated in letting others know of our donation because of the burdens doing so brings. But we believe that our actions can serve as an impetus for getting many more others to join the effort. We hope that our donation will be used practically for helping the areas that are the most harmed by the earthquake. We hope that everyone in Japan, including those of Korean descent, will be restored of calm as soon as possible.
On the other hand, the JYJ World Wide Tour SNS website (www.facebook.com/jyjworldtour2011) (T/N: again, the address may be here– www.facebook.com/jyjworldtourconcert), which is preparing the campaign, has had 50,000 fans from Asia, Europe, the Americas, and other parts of the world, visit since it’s opening a week ago.

So proud and in awe of our boys. They are amazing artists but they are also amazing human beings.
JYJ3 
In awe for the boys~ They really are amazing~ ♥
oh my gosh, that is a lot of money, that is more than YG entertainment donated? JYJ Jjiang, they are the best. ^^. I will donate too, don’t worry JYJ ^^
so i just did the math, $600000 USD= all Junsu’s compensation for TOH, Yoochun and Jaejoong’s compensation for music essay, did the boys leave any left for their living and world tour expenses?
yes not much!! and the all lawsuit… I fell want to cry but very proud!!!
i know, i know, this just proves how much they Love Japan, and Bigeast, hopefully after this crisis, ppl will understand JYJ’s heart but I bet it will be a long time before ppl in Japan can enjoy music and entertainment stuffs again. I feel very sorry for Japan. #prayforJapan.
they have a very big heart so money doesn’t matter. THIS is one reason why i love em so much!
These boys have wonderful hearts! And to make it an ongoing thing, kudos to them! To use your “fame” for the good of others…this is how it should be done!!
OOO…speedless..their heart is gold!!with all the thing they did and will have to handle in their hard road, this amount money this so big!!!
This is even more amazing considering that they can’t be making that much money themselves.
600K is a lot of money, more than the whole of YG and lot of other celebrities.
Proud of you JYJ and now I’ll go dig out some more money from somewhere to donate. Hopefully the fans can start some project to try to match it .
“John Egg,” their friend from L.A. started this for all the JYJ fans that want to contribute. This from his “Egglebrity” Facebook page. They’ve already raised close to $6000.

http://www.allkpop.com/2011/03/jyj-donates-600000-usd-to-japanese-relief-aid
=.=
theres a troll on akp bashing the boys
guys go get her!
The person who bashes them should shut her mouth. It’s not about the publicity or how much money each artists donated. Japan needs help at this moment and the boys just wanted to lend a helping hand. At least JYJ are doing something to help, unlike those bashers who can’t even find a single beauty in life.
let’s make this as popular/most commented article in allkpop, come on guys let’s go!
This should forever erase the “greedy” stigma brought upon them by the other side. God bless JYJ and their amazing humility and kind hearts.
That just goes to show how selfless these guys are. Their main motivation was never about money, their only fault is they care too much.
From their artistic rights to their humanity side, they are so invested in it.
jyj honestly makes me want to better myself. they are so honest and kind. I am going to donate.
The Universal Law of Intentions rewards those whose intentions come from the heart. This is why JYJ will prevail.
Angels @work~~
These 3 guys make my heart flutter everytime I see them do anything..>.< their just so kind hearted~ That is alot of money especially considering the situation that their in…my babieees~!!
my JYJ”s beautiful heart,who hate them,just shame on you!jyj showed their humanity,simply coz they are<<<<==== im proud to be JYJFANFAMILY!
So proud of them, especially when their own professional/financial situation is still unresolved. & I’m glad to hear AKP is finally giving credit where credit is due.
to my angel’s “JYJ” HAPPINESS KEEP YOU SWEET,TRIALS KEEP YOU STRONG,SORROWS KEEP U HUMAN,FAILURES KEEP YOU HUMBLE,GOD,KEEP YOU GOING!!!!!!GO JYJ,MAKE YOUR OWN DREAM AND MIRACLE!!!!WE JYJ FAMILY ALWAYS SUPPORT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!(IM DAMNLY PROUD OF YOU,JYJ!!!!)
have you ever heard from SM donating?? All i hear from them is withdrawing stocks left and right..if there is someone greedy.. it’s that company alright.. Buddhists belive in Karma.. me as a Christian believes in what the Bible promises that a person “reaps what he sows”.. plant kindness and you’ll reap its fruit.. as the same way as plant evil and reap it’s fruit.. I am so sure that time will vindicate JYJ and that the Lord has wonderful plans in store for them as long they don’t give up..
oh Sm is withdrawn stock? from Japan market? wow, interesting
not that.. there was a news last month that LSM sold some of his stocks and that it was a huge amount.. but him donating.. not a single news as of now.. I do hope he does.. plus stock price of SM is going down recently .. some are actually concerned about it..
Actually it was expected that stock prices across the world for select markets would drop because of the Japanese natural disaster and the aftereffects…Stocks have dropped for a lot of Asian markets too, not just SM.
Amen! I believe our Lord will be the vindicator for JYJ.
So proud of these boys.
HOLY SHIZZZ
THATS LIKE 6X MORE THAN KHJ DONATED!!
i was proud of kimhj when i read he donated but WOW I AM SOOO HAPPY THEY ARE DOING THIS. this means alot to me and im going to donate as well.
come on guys lets donate japan really needs our help and did you know donations for japan are way less than it was for haiti this country needs our help as well
Proud proud proud!
but boys,,please think about urselves too.. what with this generous donations and u guys paying for the fanmeet urselves.. please please please be more selfish..
the thing is if they were selfish people would bash them for not giving them anything im glad the boys are doing this, my sis doesnt like the boys but she is very thankful for their donation
I know..just that the boys still have a long battle, and I want them to know that its okay to think of themselves.
lets start donate JYJ Family our angels has given the example
My boys..so proud of you T.T
PROUD PROUD PROUD PROUD PROUD PROUD PROUD PROUD PROUD
PROUD PROUD PROUD PROUD PROUD PROUD OF My Oppas
They are angels in disguise indeed!!
I’m proud of JYJ.
Despite being cockblocked & less activities, they went all ways out to give generously. God Bless JYJ bountifully.
I’m proud of my JYJ!!!JYJ the best^^
how generous and kind they are! JYJ are truly an inspiration. However, since they’re doing less activities and restrained from appearing on TV, I just hope they still have enough money left to cover all the costs and expenses that will incur in the upcoming world tour. I don’t wanna see them work themselves to exhaustion again.
They have a very generous heart.. I’m so proud of them…
I believe that they will get so much more in return than what they have donated. Because peoples will always pray and support them. That’s what happen to peoples with a gold heart like JYJ…
As for people like SM.. may their soul be burn in hell..
It’s like a person donated $8.00 when he only has $10.00 compared to a person with millions and donated a thousand.
Not that SM actually donates anything, neither did I hear of SM idols do the same… <<– Boo~~
THEY ARE THE BEST!
I’m proud of you fan very much JYJ…^^
JYJ will always ALWAYS be blessed for their goodwill and love for others. No matter what haters say, poeple know in their haerts that these men know nothing but real kindness and selflessness.
I am proud to be their supporter!
They have big hearts. 🙂
they been doing so many good deeds since the lawsuit…all of their own free will. Maybe this is among the many things that they want to do for their fight over all the craziness they facing now. I bet that worth it all. They can choose to do whatever they want and any time they want. The beauty of freedom… These guys is so beautiful in and out. Oh my gorgeous hyungs.
