Through his agency, JYP Entertainment, Lee Junho expressed his thoughts, stating, "In the spirit of Christmas, I wanted to give back the love I've received and hope that children in need can enjoy a warm end to the year. I wish for more children to grow up healthy and dream big in the coming new year. I also want to continue to show interest and love for places that need a helping hand."
Lee Junho has consistently engaged in charitable activities across various sectors. His journey began in 2011 when he started sponsoring children in Ethiopia and Ghana, leading to a partnership with the international relief and development NGO, World Vision. After being officially appointed as a World Vision ambassador in 2012, he actively participated in various initiatives, including the 'Global 6K for Water' campaign.
Since 2015, he has set up booths at his solo concerts in 2017 and 2024 to promote child sponsorship programs, fostering a culture of healthy giving among his fans. In 2019, he donated funds to support relief efforts for wildfire victims in Gangwon Province and provided vehicles for users of a facility for people with severe disabilities in Seoul.
In 2020, he supported children struggling due to the COVID-19 pandemic with emergency relief funds through World Vision. In 2022, he participated in an eco-friendly comfort funding project for children in Mongolia as part of a treatment cost support agreement between JYP Entertainment and World Vision. His commitment to philanthropy has earned him a place in the Honor Society of the Fruit of Love, a group for high-value donors contributing over 100 million won.
