2PM and their fans have come forth to help Thailand who's suffering from terrible flood damage.
2PM's Thai fanclub "2PMAlways" and "2PM Love Thai People" recently held
an auction event for the flood damage in Thailand. The 2PM members sent
their previously worn clothes and treasured items to Thailand for the
auction. The Thailand born Nichkhun's mother was seen actively
participating in the event. Nichkhun's mother, who resides near Bangkok,
personally took an active part in the auctioning off of Nichkhun's
items in the event with the fanclubs. Through this auction 1,197,200
baht (43,900,000 won) was raised. The fanclubs plan to use the money
raised to provide the people affected by the flooding with emergency
relief items.

An
official from the Red Cross reported that "On the 20th 2PM and JYPE
Entertainment donated 130 million won to the Thailand flood damage
recovery fund".
Since the end of July Thailand has suffered flood damage to 70% of
the country and 342 people have died during some of the worst flooding
to have occurred. Since 2PM's debut they have experienced a lot of
popularity in member Nichkhun's homeland, Thailand. Because of this
Thailand is considered a special country to 2PM. But after seeing the
pain of Thailand's people caused by the unprecedented flood damage the
members decided to donate their own money.
The warm hearts of JYP Entertainment decided to provide support, and
so generously donated 130 million won to the flood damage fund. Last
March they also warmly donated 300 million won to the earthquake damage
fund in Japan.
