Stray Kids member I.N shared warmth on his birthday by donating 100 million won (approximately US$75,000) and giving back to fans’ love.

On February 8, I.N donated a total of 100 million won (approximately US$75,000) to the National Cancer Center in appreciation of the support he has received from fans. The donation will be used to cover medical expenses for underprivileged cancer patients undergoing treatment, as well as to support psychological therapy programs for children and adolescents battling cancer.

I.N stated, “I wanted to share the love I’ve received from fans and hope that even a small part of it can bring warmth to those enduring long periods of treatment. Though it may be a small contribution, I sincerely wish it can deliver hope and courage, and I pray for their full recovery.”

I.N has consistently practiced the value of giving through steady charitable efforts. In 2024, he became the youngest ever member, at age 23, of the ‘Green Noble Club,’ a high value donor group organized by child welfare organization ChildFund Korea for individuals who have donated over 100 million won. Last year, he also donated treatment funds for pediatric cancer patients at Samsung Seoul Hospital in celebration of his birthday. In addition, in April 2025 he joined fellow Stray Kids members in supporting wildfire recovery efforts in the Gyeongnam and Gyeongbuk regions, and in November he participated in donation efforts for fire damage recovery in Hong Kong.


Meanwhile, after solidifying their status as a “global top artist” with major achievements in 2025, Stray Kids will continue their active momentum in 2026. The group is set to meet global audiences as headliners at the ‘The Governors Ball Music Festival’ in New York on June 6 and Brazil’s ‘Rock in Rio’ on September 11.
