K-pop idols often inspire fans with more than just their music, and NCT Dream’s Na Jaemin is no exception.

Known for his charismatic stage presence and genuine personality, the multifaceted star has once again extended his influence for a greater cause and continued to prove that his heart is as big as his talent.

Before rising to global stardom, Jaemin’s journey began with a heart for service – he was discovered by SM Entertainment while accompanying his mother during a volunteer activity.

“I wanted to do something meaningful together with my fans as a way to repay their love,” Jaemin said, as shared  by Korea JoongAng Daily. “I hope this can help, even if just a little, in ensuring all children have a warm year-end.”

This act of generosity is just the latest chapter in Jaemin’s long-standing commitment to philanthropy. The “Hello Future” idol also served as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF in 2018, supporting music education programs for underprivileged children in Vietnam.

UNICEF Korea’s Secretary General Jo Mi Jin expressed gratitude for Jaemin’s meaningful contribution, calling it a heartwarming holiday gift that reflects the true spirit of giving for the children during the holiday season. 

“We sincerely thank Jaemin and his fans for sending a special gift to children during this holiday season. This donation will be used to help children facing difficult winters due to war, disasters, and poverty,” the secretary general shared.
