Sunoo found himself reflecting on the true spirit of the season. While he cherished the festive joy and love shared among his family at LLOUD Entertainment, he couldn’t help but think of those who might not have the same opportunities to celebrate. With his naturally soft heart and a desire to spread kindness, Sunoo approached Lisa the following morning with an idea.
Lisa was sitting in her office, reviewing some year-end reports, when Sunoo knocked lightly on her door. She looked up, surprised but delighted to see him. "Sunoo! What brings you here so early?"
Sunoo entered, his eyes soft and his hands nervously clasped in front of him. "Noona," he began, his voice quiet but full of determination, "I’ve been thinking... Christmas is a time for giving, right? And I feel like we’ve been so blessed this year. I was wondering if we could organize a donation drive to help those in need."
Lisa set her papers aside, her face lighting up with pride. "That’s such a beautiful idea, Sunoo. What do you have in mind?"
Sunoo’s eyes brightened as he explained. "I was thinking we could buy groceries, books, toys, clothes—things that families might need or want for Christmas. We could even involve the other idols and staff to help distribute everything. It would be a chance for all of us to give back."
Lisa leaned back in her chair, a warm smile spreading across her face. "I love it. Let’s do it."
Sunoo’s face lit up, and he clapped his hands together excitedly. "Really? Thank you, noona! I’ll talk to the other members and the staff to get them involved."
Word spread quickly throughout LLOUD Entertainment, and everyone eagerly joined the initiative. The idols and staff worked together to organize the donation drive. Enhypen, TXT, BTS, SEVENTEEN, BLACKPINK, Stray Kids, and TREASURE pooled their resources to purchase supplies.
The company transformed its main building into a hub of activity. One area became a wrapping station for toys and books, another was designated for packing grocery boxes, and yet another was filled with winter clothes and blankets for distribution.
Sunoo was at the heart of it all, directing the efforts with a radiant smile. His members supported him wholeheartedly, helping carry boxes, wrap gifts, and sort donations. Even Lisa rolled up her sleeves and joined in, coordinating logistics and ensuring everything ran smoothly.
On Christmas Eve, the idols and staff set out in groups to deliver the donations. They visited community centers, orphanages, and neighborhoods in need, spreading joy and kindness wherever they went.
Sunoo’s heart swelled as he handed a brightly wrapped toy to a little boy whose eyes sparkled with excitement. "Merry Christmas!" Sunoo said warmly, and the boy beamed up at him, clutching the toy tightly.
Meanwhile, Lisa and the staff were distributing grocery boxes to families, ensuring they had everything they needed for a festive meal. BTS and TXT read stories to children, while BLACKPINK and SEVENTEEN helped organize fun activities for the kids. Stray Kids and TREASURE sang Christmas carols, filling the air with holiday cheer.
As the day came to a close, the team gathered in a community park where they had organized a small Christmas program for the families. Sunoo, standing with Lisa and his members, looked out at the smiling faces of the children and families.
"This," he said softly, turning to Lisa, "this is what Christmas is about. Thank you for helping make this happen."
Lisa smiled and placed a hand on his shoulder. "No, Sunoo. Thank you. Your heart made this possible. You reminded all of us what the season is really about."
As the sun set and the stars began to twinkle in the sky, the idols and staff headed back to the company, their hearts full of warmth and gratitude. They had not only given to others but had also received something priceless in return: the joy of spreading love and kindness.
