Changbin of Stray Kids marked his birthday with a heartfelt act of generosity.

On August 11, Changbin donated 100 million KRW (approx. 73,000 USD) to Samsung Medical Center. The funds will cover surgery and treatment costs, as well as psychological support programs, for pediatric and adolescent patients from underprivileged backgrounds.

"I'm deeply thankful to be able to give back the love I've received from fans on my birthday and to deliver a small hope to children," Changbin said. "I hope my contribution helps in their recovery and healthy growth."

A representative from Samsung Medical Center commented, "Changbin's warm heart and donation will be a great source of strength for the children and their families. We will ensure the funds are used carefully for their treatment and recovery."

Consistent Acts of Giving

Changbin has been steadily extending his positive influence through donations. Earlier this year, he and fellow Stray Kids members contributed to Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association and World Vision to support recovery efforts for wildfire damage in the Gyeongnam and Gyeongbuk regions.

In 2023, he donated to the international relief organization The Promise to aid emergency relief for the Türkiye–Syria earthquake.

Meanwhile, Stray Kids will return on August 22 with their first full album in two years, "Karma," led by the title track "Ceremony."
