Kakao Entertainment's music platform Melon recently announced that it has established its 12th forest, 'Tomorrow X Together Forest No. 2,' and its 13th forest, 'NCT Forest No. 2,' as part of the eco-friendly project 'Forest;Trimming' that creates forests in the name of supporting artists in Seoul's Nanji Hangang Park on the 10th.

'Forest;Trimming' is a project that has been offering Melon paid members the opportunity to create forests named after their favorite artists since June 2022. While using the Melon subscription service, selecting a favorite artist's name on the 'Forest;Trimming' page will automatically accumulate up to 2% of the monthly payment. Once a total of 20 million won is accumulated in the selected artist's name, the entire amount will be donated to the Seoul Environmental Movement Headquarters to create a forest named after the artist in Seoul.

With overwhelming support from MOA (the official fandom name of Tomorrow X Together) and NCTzen (the official fandom name of NCT), both groups surpassed 40 million won in 'Forest;Trimming' contributions this year. In response, Melon, the Seoul Environmental Movement Headquarters, and the Seoul Metropolitan Government's Future Hangang Headquarters established Tomorrow X Together Forest No. 2 on March 10 and NCT Forest No. 2 on April 9.

The two groups' Forest No. 2, established in Nanji Hangang Park in Mapo District, was composed of a total of 403 trees, including three Chinese fringe trees, 250 dogwood trees, and 150 flowering dogwoods. Previously, the two groups created Forest No. 1, which consisted of three Chinese fringe trees and 400 southern magnolias.

Fans and citizens can visit the grassy area near the Nanji Information Center to see not only 'Tomorrow X Together Forest No. 1 and 2' and 'NCT Forest No. 1 and 2,' but also 'BTS Forest No. 1 and 2,' 'Lim Young-woong Forest No. 1 and 2,' 'Seventeen Forest No. 1 and 2,' and 'EXO Forest.' Additionally, the BTS Forest No. 3 and Seventeen Forest No. 3, which have significantly increased tree counts compared to Forest No. 1 and 2, have been established in Ttukseom Hangang Park and Boramae Park, allowing urban dwellers to enjoy green healing throughout the city.

Meanwhile, participation in 'Forest;Trimming' can be done by clicking on the 'Forest Trimming' menu that appears by tapping the shortcut tab located at the far right of the Melon app. Fans supporting not only idols but also singers from various genres like ballad, hip hop, trot, and indie are diligently gathering their efforts to exert positive influence.
