Starting from leader Yoon Ji Sung’s idea of, “Wanting to create music that shows our hearts and tugs at heartstrings,” the members all gave their ideas to create their “Heart Light: Turn on the ‘Light’ of the Heart” campaign, with incorporated parts of their choreography to gain interest from the public and fans. Not only did they raise awareness of heart disease, but they also collected warm messages of hope for those who are struggling with it.

Wanna One’s donation will be able to help approximately 30 patients and they stated, “This campaign began with all of the members’ ideas and hopes, and we believe it was more meaningful as many people gave the campaign their interest and warm affection.

We believe that the warm messages collected throughout the campaign will be of great help to patients, and we will be using the donations to help heart disease patients who are facing financial difficulties.”
