On August 25, Everglow released a music video and fundraising challenge for the Promise Campaign, an initiative of the United Nations Childrenโs Fund (UNICEF). Through this project, the K-pop girl group and humanitarian agency hope to advocate for children around the world facing hardships.ย
A Glowing Light
Bringing light to issues faced by youth, โPromiseโ speaks to those dealing with difficult circumstances. Members E:U, Sihyeon, Mia, Onda, Aisha, and Yiren perform wearing bright, flowy clothing in a peaceful field as night falls around them. They are depicted reaching out to a young girl alone in a forest, representing lyrics that express their continued support for children in need. Throughout the song, the group ensures their promise of a better world.ย
As a bonus, the group also shared their choreography practice video on the official UNICEF Hi page on YouTube, allowing viewers to follow along.ย

To raise awareness and funding for the issue, the group has organized a dance challenge. The initiative will run from Aug. 26 to Sept. 16. Everglowโs company, Yuehua Entertainment, has pledged to match the donation plans based on the number of participants in the challenge during this time. To be a part of the campaign, fans can upload videos of themselves doing the choreography with the designated hashtags.
Everglowโs loyal followers, For Evers, have already begun to share their renditions of the Promise dance challenge across social media platforms. K-pop dance teams around the world, such as The A-Code, The D.I.P., and AO Crew, posted their own covers, as well. They are also encouraging other fans across the genre to get involved and help build awareness for this important topic.ย
