JYJ recently opened up their hearts to help those in need through a generous amount of donations to various charities.

The group accumulated 50 million KRW during their year-end auction. All proceeds immediately went to the support of various organizations and causes.

A representative from C-JeS Entertainment said, "JYJ held a charity auction for the 13 most popular works that were shown at the JYJ gallery in June 2013 during the JYJ membership week. They earned 50,000,000 KRW through the auction, and recently donated the proceeds to various charities. We chose children's centers as well as hospitals for the disabled and the elderly and donated items they needed the most."

Instead of making a donation in cash, JYJ decided to buy the much-need equipment and material for centres, including medical equipment, wooden lockers, beds, furniture, and etc.

In addition, JYJ donated 5 million KRW to the Seoul University Hospital to pay for the surgery and treatment of children who couldn't pay for their operation due to financial troubles.

JYJ said, "The JYJ gallery was something we made to have a special memory with fans. We're happy that something we worked on ourselves went to the fans, and that the proceeds from there were able to help those in need. We were able to start the year on a good note through the proceeds from the charity auction as well as the additional funds we collected from the company employees."

Furthermore, the agency shared, "The Japanese fans' hard work will also be donated to World Vision Japan to be used to a meaningful campaign to protect children. Fans from both Korea and Japan participated in the gallery, and the charity auction was held in both Korea and Japan. World Vision Japan thanked us for JYJ's continuous donations to the Japanese aid group."
