SM Entertainment has announced a partnership with the Korean Committee for UNICEF to empower Indonesian girls and create more environmentally friendly school environments. The agreement was finalized at the UNICEF Indonesia office in Jakarta on Friday.
This marks the fourth collaboration between SM Entertainment and UNICEF Korea since their initial project in 2015. Previous successful partnerships have focused on initiatives in Vietnam and the Philippines.
As part of the agreement, SM Entertainment will fund the installation of gender-separated, modern toilet facilities and implement water quality monitoring systems in 60 Indonesian schools by 2028.
The signing ceremony included notable attendees such as SM Entertainment’s Chief Global Officer Choi Jung-min, UNICEF Korea Secretary-General Cho Mi-jin, and UNICEF Indonesia Deputy Representative Jean Lokenga.
Jiwoo and Carmen, members of SM Entertainment’s girl group Hearts2Hearts (with Carmen being an Indonesian member), were also present at the event.
“It’s a great honor to take part in this meaningful initiative for Indonesian children,” Jiwoo and Carmen said in a statement released by SM Entertainment. “We hope they can stay healthy and happy at school and will do our best to support their growth.”
