[talk] Why we donate all proceeds from the New Jeans University Festival

CEO Min Hee-jin said at a press conference held at the Korea Press Center in Jung-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 31st, "The plan to expand the university festival nationwide was made a long time ago."

Representative Min said, "There are many people from the provinces who want to see New Jeans, but since we don't have the conditions to hold a concert, this festival is the only way to meet them." He added, "The enthusiasm that college students give also has a positive effect on the members."

Representative Min continued, "We were planning a world tour, but we needed to practice on stage. I think college is similar to Lollapalooza and Coachella." He continued, "When we make this decision to tour a lot of festivals, some people criticize us. They misunderstand that we're making kids perform at events to make money, but I don't want to be misunderstood like that."

He also said, "We did it efficiently by providing fan service and helping the kids practice, but in order to show our sincerity, we had no choice but to donate. When making money, we want to receive a lot of money from rich people, and we don't want to make money with small amounts from people who don't have money. If I weren't a manager, I wouldn't be able to make these decisions. These things could be a green light or a starting point for New Jeans' image or our future plans."
