Stray Kids' Felix Donates 300 Million Won for Birthday: "Hoping to Be a Warm Source of Strength for Children"
Stray Kids member FELIX has donated a total of 300 million won to support treatment costs for pediatric and adolescent cancer patients, aid underprivileged children, fund picture book-based cultural education and awareness programs, and provide emergency relief for the severe flood in Nepal.

Marking his birthday on September 15, FELIX donated 100 million won each to Samsung Medical Center and Seoul National University Children's Hospital, and 50 million won each to Books International and the Korean Committee for UNICEF, bringing his total contributions to 300 million won. The funds will be used to support treatment costs for young cancer patients at Samsung Medical Center, assist underprivileged pediatric patients at Seoul National University Children's Hospital, create and produce native-language picture books as part of Books International's picture book-based cultural education and awareness program, and provide emergency relief for the severe flood in Nepal through the Korean Committee for UNICEF.

FELIX shared his heartfelt message, saying, "I hope that many children's days can be filled with bright hope instead of worry. I sincerely hope this serves as a small yet warm source of strength for the children's precious today and tomorrow."

FELIX has consistently demonstrated a positive influence. In 2024, he donated to UNICEF's nutrition and water, sanitation, and hygiene support project for children in Laos, as well as World Vision's breakfast support project for vulnerable children in South Korea. In 2025, celebrating his birthday, he contributed funds to support medical treatment for pediatric patients at Samsung Medical Center, assist young family caregivers through World Vision, and aid UNICEF's children's nutrition and water, sanitation, and hygiene support project in Laos. Alongside his fellow Stray Kids members, he also delivered disaster relief funds to the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association and World Vision in 2025 to help recovery efforts from wildfires in the Gyeongnam and Gyeongbuk regions, as well as donations to World Vision Hong Kong for recovery efforts following a fire in Hong Kong.

Meanwhile, Stray Kids is expected to further brighten the group's name through their performances on stage. On September 15 (local time), they will hold the second show of their concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina, as part of their new group-centric festival "STRAYCITY" across three regions in South America, while also continuing the momentum of their ongoing world tour <RUN IT>.
