Though members of HYBE's NewJeans are in the midst of legal trouble over their contract with the agency, the discord hasn't prevented the girls from going back to those less fortunate.
The girls, who are currently promoting under their names rather than their group name, have reportedly donated 100 million won (approximately $70,000 USD) to the children's welfare fund Green Umbrella under ChildFund Korea, which supports children and young adults who care for family members in need due to old age, disability, or illness, as reported by OSEN.

The generous donation was made under Bunnies, their fandom name.
The funds will support 30 families with living expenses, housing, education, and healthcare.
The girls' donation will be used to help the children through adulthood with career development services and employment opportunities.
"We decided to make this donation to provide essential support for the healthy growth of children and teenagers who care for their families and to help them become independent," said Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein.
"We will continue to show our interest so that the children can find and achieve their dreams."
"We hope this support will greatly help children and teenagers who care for their families reduce their daily burdens and gain time for personal growth and independence," said Shin Jung Won, the Head of the Social Contribution Cooperation Division at ChildFund Korea.
"We will continue to provide various forms of support so that more children can grow up surrounded by warmth and support."
