NCT’s Doyoung celebrates his birthday in a special way, here! Just like what NCTzens (the term for NCT fans) often do to celebrate their idols, Doyoung also wants to make his birthday which falls on Thursday (1/2/2024) more meaningful. He made a donation worth IDR 355 million to social foundations.
Doyoung’s donation was confirmed by SM Entertainment in its official statement received by detikpop today. Doyoung donated 30 million Won (equivalent to Rp. 355 million) to a donation platform called Direct Donation.
Doyoung specializes in donating to women and teenagers in need. The money from Doyoung will later be used to help provide feminine needs, schooling, and daily necessities for teenage girls who come from low-income families.
“The support and love given by NCTzens to me is the greatest happiness and the force that motivates me. I believe, if I share the love I received from NCTzens with many people, the happiness felt will double,” said Doyoung about his donation.
“So even though it’s a little, I hope this feeling can be conveyed well to teenagers. I hope 2024 will be a year with more smiles for everyone,” he continued.
In the midst of his career which is currently soaring with NCT, Doyoung does not forget to return the love he gets from fans to society. Previously, Doyoung donated 50 million Won to children at Christmas last year.
Not only that, Doyoung’s social activities were also recorded in Turkey when he helped earthquake victims in February 2023. When forest fires occurred in Uljin, Gyeongsangbuk-do and Samcheok, Gangwon-do, Doyoung also spent a small amount of his income to help recover from the fires.
Doyoung’s consistency in his charity activities made him included in the Honor Society list. A group of donors who have donated more than 100 million Won on every occasion.
