Stray Kids member Changbin celebrated his birthday on August 11 by spreading warmth and practicing a meaningful act of charity.

In honor of his special day, the talented rapper and producer donated a generous total of 100 million won (approximately $73,000 USD) to Samsung Medical Center in Seoul.

The sizable contribution will be divided equally into two 50-million-won allocations: one half will directly cover medical treatment and surgery costs for young pediatric and adolescent patients, while the remaining half will fund psychological and emotional support programs for the patients’ families.

Expressing his deep appreciation for his supporters while sharing his motivations behind the gift, Changbin stated,

“Thanks to the immense love from my fans, I was able to practice meaningful sharing on my birthday.

I sincerely hope that my heart can reach those in need and provide even a small amount of hope and warm comfort.”

A History of Consistent Charitable Contributions

This birthday contribution marks another chapter in Changbin’s ongoing commitment to philanthropy and community relief effort.

He has established a steady habit of giving back on his birthday, having previously made a similar 100-million-won donation to Samsung Medical Center to support underprivileged pediatric patients and funded family emotional-care initiatives.

Beyond his annual birthday donations, Changbin has regularly stepped forward to offer emergency support during global and domestic crises.

In 2023, he contributed emergency relief funds through the international aid organization The Promise following the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, earning him an official appointment to the organization’s “Honors Club.”

Also, alongside his fellow Stray Kids members, he has previously delivered substantial relief donations to aid recovery efforts following severe wildfires in South Korea.

Continued Success with Stray Kids

Changbin’s act of generosity comes during a busy and successful promotional period for Stray Kids.

The idol group has been actively promoting their latest musical endeavors, amazing audiences around the world with their signature sound and dynamic stage presence.

Samsung Medical Center representatives expressed immense gratitude for Changbin’s continued partnership and thoughtful donation, confirming that the funds will be used directly to alleviate financial hardship and foster healing for sick children and their loved ones.

Through his ongoing charitable endeavors, Changbin continues to serve as a positive role model, using his global platform to make a tangible, compassionate impact.
