>On September 16, the Community Chest of Korea (Chairman Kim Byung-jun) announced that SEVENTEEN member Hoshi (real name Kwon Soon-young) had donated 100 million KRW to fund the construction of a public school in Ndola, Zambia.
>This marks his second large-scale overseas donation, as earlier in 2024, Hoshi had contributed 100 million KRW to support the building of the Laos National Orphanage School. With this new donation, he is helping to improve educational environments abroad once again.
>The new school will serve local elementary students from kindergarten through 7th grade, with more than 350 children enrolled. Until now, the school had only two classrooms, forcing multiple grades to share the same space under extremely poor conditions.
