SEOUL, October 13, 2024 — ATEEZ leader and creative force Kim Hongjoong has announced an exciting new solo initiative, “Art for Impact,” a charity project aimed at combining his love for music and visual arts with his passion for social causes. The project will raise funds to support educational opportunities and creative outlets for underprivileged youth, particularly focusing on arts and music education in low-income areas across South Korea.
Hongjoong, known for his hands-on approach to ATEEZ’s music and concept development, is going solo for this special project. In a recent interview, he shared, “I’ve always wanted to use my platform for more than just entertainment. Art for Impact is a way for me to give back, to provide opportunities for kids who may not have access to the resources that helped me get to where I am.”
The initiative will release limited-edition art pieces created by Hongjoong himself, alongside exclusive, unreleased solo music tracks. Fans are thrilled to see another side of the artist, particularly as he steps into a more personal and philanthropic role. Profits from the sale of these exclusive items will be directly donated to educational programs that focus on fostering artistic talent in disadvantaged communities.
This isn’t Hongjoong’s first foray into philanthropy. He has been involved in various charity campaigns in the past, including his support for the Polished Man initiative, which raises awareness for children affected by violence. His ongoing contributions to global causes have earned him praise both within the K-pop community and beyond.
Fans and critics alike are anticipating the project’s release, seeing it as another testament to Hongjoong’s dedication not only to his craft but also to making a positive impact on the world. With ATEEZ celebrating its fifth anniversary this year, Hongjoong continues to inspire his global fanbase with his creativity, leadership, and heart for social change.
