By KTimes

Stray Kids member I.N celebrated his birthday by donating 100 million won ($75,000) to help children in need.

I.N made the donation to Samsung Medical Center on Saturday. The funds will be used to cover medical expenses for pediatric cancer patients from underprivileged families receiving treatment at the hospital.

Through his agency, JYP Entertainment, I.N expressed his heartfelt intentions behind the donation. “I wanted to support children battling pediatric cancer so they can recover and grow up while pursuing their dreams. I’m grateful and happy to share the immense love I’ve received from fans on my birthday,” he said.

I.N has been consistently engaged in philanthropy. In 2024, he became the youngest-ever member, at 23, of the Green Noble Club, a high-value donor group under ChildFund Korea. His latest donation further demonstrates his commitment to spreading warmth in society.

Stray Kids continues to expand its world tour, dominATE, increasing the total to 55 concerts across 34 cities. The group is set to hold large-scale stadium performances in 22 regions across Japan, the Americas and Europe starting in March, solidifying its status as a global top artist.
