Shotaro of RIIZE has shared his positive influence once again, marking his birthday with a meaningful act of charity.

UNICEF Korea announced on the 25th that Shotaro donated 25 million KRW in celebration of his birthday, delivering the contribution in the name of his fandom, Breeze. The funds will support UNICEF's core programs helping children around the world—spanning health, nutrition, clean water, and sanitation.

Shotaro expressed his gratitude, saying he wanted to give back to Breeze after receiving so much love. "It may be small, but I hope it can be of help to someone."

This isn't his first act of generosity. Shotaro previously donated to support recovery efforts after the 2023 Türkiye earthquake and continues to participate in SM's social contribution campaigns.

RIIZE, the group Shotaro belongs to, returned on the 24th with their second single Fame.
