📰 260526 SEVENTEEN made a donation to UNESCO in commemoration of their 11th anniversary... 'Quiet act of gratitude' for four years in a row

According to the Korean National Commission for UNESCO on the 26th, SEVENTEEN made a donation to celebrate their 11th anniversary. The amount of the donation was not disclosed, and the donation is planned to be used for secondary education scholarship program in Laos.

SEVENTEEN has been continuously supporting this project since 2022. The Laos Secondary Education Scholarship Program supports students who completed elementary-level equivalency programs at local learning centers so they can continue to public secondary schools through academic support grants. Through this, the group is helping students in educational blind spots to continue their studies in a stable environment.

Hong Hyun-ik, Secretary-General of the Korean National Commission of UNESCO, stated, "We are deeply grateful for SEVENTEEN's continued support since 2022. Thanks to this donation, underprivileged students in Laos will be able to continue into public education with stability and envision a batter future."

SEVENTEEN has continued to make steady efforts not only in their musical activities, but also in their social contribution work. In particular, they became the first K-pop artist to be appointed as UNESCO Youth Goodwill Ambassadors in June 2024, proving their global influence.

SEVENTEEN, Why 'All 13 Members Renew Contracts'?... The Impossible Becomes a Miracle

The group Seventeen has once again turned the 'impossible' into a 'miracle.' Going beyond the mere act of signing a contract, this large family of 13 members has chosen 'together' once again, earning praise for setting an unprecedented milestone in K-pop history.

In the K-pop scene, it is practically a marvel that a large group of 13 members is about to renew their contract for the second time without a single member leaving. S.Coups’s confession that "we had many deep conversations among the members and decided to stay together" gives a sense of the depth of the trust they have built over the past decade.

Unlike most groups that fail to cross the seven-year barrier or disband during the renewal process due to individual activities, Seventeen has instead solidified their roots as a "complete group." In particular, the sight of Jeonghan and Wonwoo, who are currently serving in the military, cheering on their members from the audience seemed to demonstrate that the name Seventeen serves as a protective shield for them that transcends mere employment.

Seventeen unhesitatingly cited their fandom, "CARAT," as the biggest driving force behind the contract renewal. Their statement, "When a flower withers, a stronger life is born behind it. The same is true for Seventeen," defined the period of military service and individual activities not merely as a time of waiting, but as a preparation period for a "new bloom." This is not just lip service. For idols, the fandom can be considered the very reason for their existence, and Seventeen is regarded as a team that places exceptional importance on "promises" to their fans. A music industry insider commented, "The smart members understand very well the virtuous cycle where the belief that the 13 members will not be broken unites Carats, and that unity, in turn, boosts Seventeen's firepower."

Furthermore, SEVENTEEN has established their own team identity since their trainee days, growing as "self-producing idols." Having spent a considerable amount of time together, it is presumed that the synergy generated by the 13 members working together and the sense of stability they felt within that environment outweighed their individual ambitions. In the same vein, one of the major reasons for conflict during contract renewals is the disconnect between "the music they want to make" and "the work the company dictates." The autonomy granted by "self-production" likely served as a significant advantage for the members.

Daesang’s “Jongga” Targets 2 Billion Muslim Consumers with Halal Certification… SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi Takes Center Stage

Daesang’s kimchi brand Jongga is accelerating its push into the global Muslim market,estimated at around 2 billion people, by leveraging halal certification. The brand has placed SEVENTEEN member Hoshi, its global ambassador, at the forefront of this strategy. Moving beyond simply exporting Korean flavors, Jongga aims to expand kimchi’s presence across the broader Islamic world, including Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

On the 2nd, Jongga unveiled new campaign visuals featuring Hoshi as its global ambassador, strengthening its global marketing efforts. Known as a “kimchi sommelier,” Hoshi has played a key role since being appointed ambassador in 2023, using SEVENTEEN’s strong global influence to establish the image of “Kimchi equals Jongga” among Gen Z and international consumers.

A notable detail in the campaign is the halal certification logo displayed at the bottom of the advertisement. This symbolizes not just quality assurance, but also the brand’s intention to include Muslim consumers. Halal certification is granted to food that complies with Islamic law and is considered essential for entering Muslim markets such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

By combining Hoshi’s youthful and trendy image, familiar to K-pop-loving Muslim youth, with halal certification, Jongga appears to be lowering entry barriers while securing religious trust. This approach is being evaluated as a multifaceted marketing strategy targeting both cultural appeal and brand credibility.

Jongga’s early move into the Muslim market is backed by 17 years of localization efforts. In 2009, Daesang became the first in the industry to obtain halal certification for four major kimchi products: sliced kimchi, whole cabbage kimchi, young radish kimchi, and ponytail radish kimchi, pioneering what was then an untapped market.

Halal certification strictly prohibits pork-derived ingredients and alcohol, requiring high standards across the entire production and distribution process. While it presents high entry barriers, securing certification allows access to a large and highly loyal consumer base, giving Jongga a competitive edge.

Currently, Jongga has established a strong presence in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, particularly in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the United Arab Emirates. Recently, it has expanded exports to six African countries, including Kenya, Ghana, and Morocco, securing new growth opportunities. These regions, with dense Muslim populations, allow efficient market expansion using existing halal-certified products.

Market prospects are also positive. The global Muslim population is around 2 billion and is expected to reach approximately 2.2 billion by 2030. At the same time, the spread of K-content and the rise of health food trends are increasing global interest in fermented foods like kimchi.

Going forward, Jongga plans to further strengthen tailored strategies that reflect local cultures and religious practices. In addition to kimchi, the brand aims to expand its halal lineup to include products like gochujang and various sauces, while also entering new markets such as Egypt and Mauritius.
