The band Jannabi (Choi Jung-hoon, Kim Do-hyung) has donated all the profits from their solo concert.
Jannabi recently donated 48.6 million won, the total profit from the sale of merchandise T-shirts at their solo concert 'All Boys and Girls 2025', to support children in family care. The donation will be used for practical support for children's healthy growth, including educational expenses, living expenses, and cultural experience costs.
This donation is also an extension of Jannabi's efforts to expand the resonance of music into empathy and solidarity in reality. Recently, with the release of their fourth studio album 'Sound of Music Part 1', Jannabi conveyed the message that "music is not a fantasy but reality," and they are proving that message through their actions. The significance is even deeper as it goes beyond simple good deeds to a sharing completed together with fans.
Jannabi is currently on a national tour for 'All Boys and Girls 2025', having completed a two-week performance in Seoul, and will continue to Gwangju and Daegu in June. Recently, they released a collaboration track with Hyundai Motor titled 'Beautiful Dream' and are expanding their emotional connection as a 'band that transcends generations' by meeting various audiences through university festivals.
Their agency, Pepo Music, stated, "As the theme of the performance suggests, we prepared this with the hope that all boys and girls would receive support," and added, "We hope to provide even a small amount of strength to children in family care, who were once called 'the heads of boy and girl families'."
Jannabi is set to perform their final concert of the national tour at Daegu EXCO on June 28 and 29, and they plan to convey their unique youthful emotions and empathy through new songs this summer.
Jannabi debuted in 2014 with the digital single 'Rocket' and is composed of vocalist Choi Jung-hoon and guitarist Kim Do-hyung. They have hit songs such as 'The Hot Summer Night is Gone, What's Left is Unremarkable', 'For Hesitant Lovers', and 'We Who Have Grasped Green', and they enjoy great popularity, performing as headliners at various festivals in Korea.
Choi Jung-hoon officially acknowledged his relationship with actress Han Ji-min, who is 10 years older, last year. The two met on KBS2's 'The Seasons - Choi Jung-hoon's Night Park', which Choi Jung-hoon was hosting, and developed into a romantic relationship.
