CHANGBIN, a member of the group STRAY KIDS, donated 100 million won (approximately €70,000) to the Samsung Medical Center in central Seoul to cover the treatment costs of underprivileged young patients, the rapper’s agency, JYP Entertainment, announced Tuesday.
According to JYP Entertainment, the funds will be used to support surgery, medical care, and mental health services for pediatric patients facing economic hardships.
The donation was made as part of CHANGBIN’s birthday celebrations, which fell on August 11 this year, a Monday.
“I am deeply grateful for the love from my fans and for the opportunity to share a small measure of hope with children on my birthday,” the rapper said in a statement released by his agency.
“I hope this gesture will contribute to their recovery and healthy growth.”
An official from Samsung Medical Center said the donation “will be a great source of strength for the young patients and their families.”
“The donation will be used with the utmost care to support the children’s treatment and recovery,” the official added.
CHANGBIN, along with the other members of STRAY KIDS, recently completed their “dominATE” tour, which included 54 concerts across 34 regions worldwide.
The boy band is set to release its fourth full-length album, “KARMA”, featuring the lead track “Ceremony,” on August 22, four years after its last full album.
