In particular, they plan to establish music therapy rooms and operate customized therapy programs for abused children, including music therapy and psychotherapy through language and games.
In addition, YG and Save The Children promised that they would continue active mutual cooperation through the Music Therapy Support For Abused Children project. Their goal is to promote emotional stability and healthy growth by reducing the aftereffects of abuse, enabling abused children to return to their daily lives smoothly.
YG stated, “We are very happy to have such a meaningful opportunity to support the healthy growth of children and young people and contribute to society through music”, adding “We sincerely hope that children who have experienced difficulties due to abuse will be able to recover as soon as possible, and we will continue to fulfill our social responsibilities through various social activities”.
YG connected with Save The Children for the first time in 2018 by cooperating “WITH” campaign, a social contribution program.
