Samsung Seoul Hospital announced on the 3rd that Bang Chan, a member of the JYP Entertainment group Stray Kids, donated 100 million won in celebration of his birthday. Bang Chan's donation will be used to support medical expenses for pediatric and adolescent patients and UNICEF's health, nutrition, water and sanitation, education, protection, and emergency relief programs for children.
With this donation, Bang Chan was selected as a member of UNICEF's high-value donor group, the "UNICEF Honors Club." He said, "Thanks to the love from fans on my birthday, I was able to share a warm heart," and added, "I sincerely hope this will be a small help for children to dream brighter dreams and a better tomorrow."
Last year, Bang Chan also donated a total of 100 million won to the Community Chest of Korea, a social welfare community foundation, on his birthday and was appointed as a member of the high-value donor group, the "Honor Society." His philanthropic activities have been recognized as a demonstration of social responsibility.
Stray Kids will hold their world tour encore concert "dominATE : celebrATE" at the Incheon Asiad Main Stadium from the 18th to the 19th. This performance is expected to strengthen communication with fans and further expand the group's global popularity.
Bang Chan's donation and Stray Kids' activities are regarded as examples that strengthen bonds with fans and have a positive impact on society.
