Jaywalkers have been headlining news once more for their charitable acts, as it was recently revealed that one of Jay Park’s fanpages, “Underground,” exceeded $100,000 USD in donations.
“Underground” consists of fans in their 20s and 30s, and they were in the news last year for their $5,000 USD donation to the Disabled Athletics Association that Jay Park is the PR ambassador for. They also donated an additional $5,000 to the Children’s Foundation.
The group first began with Naver’s “Happy Bean” digital charity donations, and began sending books to adopted children overseas. Members also participated in a total of 16 different sessions of volunteer work at the Welfare Foundation. Last January, the group donated a total of $10,000 to Haiti as well.
Since September of 2009, the total “Underground” donation figure has exceeded $100,000 USD.
Representatives of “Underground” commented, “We have been participating in different charities since Jaebeom’s withdrawal. We’re glad to be able to continue our charitable participation with consistency, instead of having it be a one-time act.”
