According to Galaxy Corporation, G-Dragon's agency and AI metaverse company, the name of the foundation was decided to be 'JUSPEACE Foundation', which is a combination of justice and peace. The foundation's slogan is 'Let's protect peace & justice of love / love of justice.' It was also G-Dragon's last greeting in his last handwritten letter.
The first contribution is 300 million won, which G-Dragon will donate alone. G-Dragon announced in a handwritten letter on the 21st that he would make the first donation based on the name of the VIP (Big Bang fandom) and donate the entire amount in the name of the campaign activity name (Guardians of Daisy) that was voluntarily launched through this incident.
Choi Yong-ho, CEO of Galaxy Corporation, his agency, said, "The foundation was established based on the strong will to realize a society without prejudice through Kwon Ji-yong's music, and we plan to carry out activities in line with this." He added, "The foundation's first project is drug eradication and “This is an activity to treat addicted youth,” he said.
Through the last handwritten letter, “I learned the heartbreaking fact that the average number of drug offenders per year is 20,000 and that the number of juvenile drug offenders has increased alarmingly, but less than 500 of them can be treated through treatment institutions.” G-Dragon, who mentioned, "plans to raise people's awareness of the dangers of drugs through an anti-drug campaign and urge continued efforts to eradicate drugs. Through this, G-Dragon plans to spread awareness of the importance of social issues with his fans and provide hope and opportunities to youth.
Our ambition is to support those who suffer from prejudice and injustice, promote awareness and solutions to social problems, and strive to create a fair society where everyone is treated equally.
To this end, G-Dragon is selecting and recommending experts in the fields of medicine and health, public policy and administration, welfare and culture to participate in the advisory committee, and it is reported that the direction of public interest activities will be determined as soon as the advisory committee is formed.
