At the end of 2023, Park Jin-young expressed his thoughts on donations, stating that as a father of two daughters aged three and four, he understands the struggles of families who cannot afford medical treatment. He hopes to help alleviate their burden by directly supporting sick children through providing funds to hospitals.
Stray Kids, a popular global group, has been actively promoting kindness and positivity both within their home country and internationally, building a strong connection with their fans. In February 2023, member Felix generously donated 50 million won to World Vision. Since 2020, he has consistently sponsored and provided lunchboxes to help vulnerable communities in urban areas.
