Charitable Contribution
On March 12, 2024, Jisoo announced to donate a significant amount to Save the Children, an international NGO dedicated to improving the lives of children worldwide. The decision aligns with her ongoing dedication to social causes and marks a significant step in her philanthropic journey which is not limited to a geographic location but to the entire globe.
Mangrove Forest Restoration
The proceeds from Jisoo’s YouTube channel will specifically support the restoration of mangrove forests in Vietnam’s Ca Mau province. Mangroves are crucial ecosystems that provide habitat for diverse marine life, protect coastlines from erosion, and serve as carbon sinks.
However, due to factors such as deforestation, pollution, and climate change, mangrove forests are under threat and in need of restoration efforts. Her initiative highlights her awareness of environmental conservation and sustainable development efforts.
