K-pop powerhouse ENHYPEN has stepped forward to support the Philippines following catastrophic floods, donating ₩100 million (around ₱4 million) to aid affected communities. The group and their agency, Belift Lab, announced the contribution on Thursday, emphasizing their desire to help a country that has long embraced them.
A Special Bond With Filipino Fans
In a heartfelt statement, ENHYPEN explained that the severe flooding that displaced thousands deeply moved them. They highlighted the Philippines’ significance in their journey—most notably as the site of their first-ever stadium concert in Southeast Asia—and expressed hope that their donation, though modest, would help ease the burden on affected families.
Coordinated Relief Efforts
Belift Lab confirmed that the funds will be delivered through the Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association, working in collaboration with the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation. The agency shared that they hope the assistance will reach the hardest-hit areas and provide “meaningful help to those affected by the recent floods.”
A Group With Global Reach
Since debuting in 2020, ENHYPEN, Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki, has become a global force in K-pop. Known for their unique lore and razor-sharp performances, the group has earned five Billboard 200 top 10 albums, further solidifying their influence and the loyalty of fans worldwide.
A Country in Crisis
The Philippines continues to recover after Super Typhoon Uwan submerged villages, caused mass evacuations, and destroyed infrastructure earlier this month, just weeks after Typhoon Tino ravaged the central islands. The compounded devastation prompted President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. to declare a one-year state of national calamity to accelerate relief and rehabilitation efforts.
A Message of Strength and Solidarity
Through their donation, ENHYPEN conveyed heartfelt support to Filipinos enduring the aftermath of the disasters. The group reassured fans and communities that the connection between ENHYPEN and the Philippines remains strong, offering a message of hope during a challenging time.
