[News] 2PM and JYP Entertainment donate for flood reconstruction in Thailand


On October 24th, it was revealed that 2PM and JYP Entertainment made donations to aid in Thailand's flood reconstruction.

Representatives of the Korean National Red Cross confirmed, "On the 20th, 2PM and JYP Entertainment donated $130,000 USD to aid in the recovery and re-construction caused by the damage from the flood in Thailand."

Starting at the end of July, Thailand has been met with severe floods that have damaged about 70% of the country. About 342 people have also been confirmed to be dead. Thailand is a country that's special to 2PM because it's also Nichkhun's hometown. The members tweeted several times in support of the nation's recovery before deciding to move their words into actions by making a donation.

JYP Entertainment also previously donated about $300,000 USD earlier this year to aid in the Japanese relief efforts.
