A precious 100 million won donation made by SUPER JUNIOR member EUNHYUK in memory of his late father has been transformed into a new play space for children.

Child welfare organization Green Umbrella (Chairman Hwang Young-ki) announced on the 10th that it has established the Anthony Browne Imagination Playground at the Green Umbrella Siheung Daeoullim Children's Center together with SUPER JUNIOR's EUNHYUK.

This space was prepared with 100 million won donated by EUNHYUK to Green Umbrella in celebration of his birthday. Previously, he made a donation on his late father's birthday in 2024, joining the Green Noble Club, a major donors' circle at Green Umbrella, as its 487th member.

The Siheung Daeoullim Children's Center is a welfare institution that provides language and cultural education as well as awareness-raising activities to help children from diverse cultural backgrounds grow up healthily and happily in their families and communities.

The Anthony Browne Imagination Playground is a child-friendly space where children can freely play, read books, and rest comfortably. It features design elements and the artistic world of world-renowned picture book author Anthony Browne reflected throughout the space.

Green Umbrella explained that it remodeled the existing space to incorporate the familiar images and atmosphere of picture books, allowing children to naturally experience play and reading while freely imagining and enjoying activities.

At the time of his donation, EUNHYUK reportedly expressed his wish, saying, "I hope that children can play and read books to their hearts' content without physical or environmental restrictions, and cultivate the strength to view the world positively."

EUNHYUK's father passed away in a traffic accident in August 2022, and EUNHYUK has continuously made donations since then to commemorate his father. Thanks to this history of memorial donations, his father was also inducted as the 94th member of Green Umbrella's Green Legacy Club, which honors bequest donors and memorial donation pledgers.

EUNHYUK's charitable deeds have a long history. Starting with a 100 million won donation to the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association for COVID-19 relief in February 2020, he delivered 40.04 million won to the Green Umbrella Children's Foundation in April 2023, combining fan meeting proceeds with his personal funds. In September of the same year, he donated 6 facepiece sterilizers to improve the working conditions of firefighters at the Jeonbuk Fire Headquarters, and in December, he donated 100 million won to Fire Family Hope Sharing, an organization supporting bereaved families of firefighters who died in the line of duty. Last year, he continued his steady sharing by successively delivering 100 million won in emergency relief funds for major wildfires in the Yeongnam region in March and 100 million won for a child abuse prevention campaign by the Eastern Social Welfare Society in July.
