[Dispatch=Min-ji Gu] Bang Chan of Stray Kids took the lead in warm giving.

World Vision (Chairman Jo Myung-hwan), an international relief and development NGO, announced on the 5th that "Bang Chan donated 100 million won to support the dreams of children in difficult circumstances."

The donation will be used through World Vision's "Dreaming Children" project for children who lack opportunities to pursue their dreams due to economic and environmental conditions.

Bang Chan said, "It was meaningful to be able to share my heart, albeit modestly, in various fields where help is needed, from children's dreams to the community we are part of."

He also added warm support. "I hope that my heart will reach places in need of help, and that it will contribute to all of us dreaming of a better tomorrow together."

Chairman Jo Myung-hwan conveyed, "Bang Chan's act of giving will be encouragement to children who are building their future without giving up on their dreams even in difficult circumstances."

Bang Chan has continued consistent giving. In September, he donated 100 million won each to Seoul Rehabilitation Hospital and UNICEF (Korea). He led the establishment of a specialized rehabilitation center and recovery from flooding in Nepal.

In October, on his birthday, he donated 100 million won each to Hiero Cycle, World Vision, an international relief and development NGO, and the East Asia Sea Community Ocean, a civic organization.

He also donated 200 million won last year. He sent 100 million won to Samsung Seoul Hospital to support treatment costs for pediatric patients. He also gave a donation to UNICEF (Korea).
