The group Stray Kids donated 800 million won for emergency relief efforts for wildfire victims in the Ulsan, Gyeongbuk, and Gyeongnam regions.
On April 1, Stray Kids donated 400 million won to the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association and 400 million won to the social welfare organization World Vision, asking that the money be used to provide emergency relief supplies to residents affected by the wildfires, emergency living expenses, and support for firefighters.
Stray Kids said through their agency JYP Entertainment, “We deeply sympathize with the pain of the residents who lost their daily lives in an instant, and we want to express our gratitude to everyone who is working hard with us.”
Stray Kids, as a group and as individuals, are spreading goodwill in places in need both domestically and internationally, practicing positive influence. Member Lee Know began personally sponsoring children overseas in 2014, before his debut, and the group participated in individual regular sponsorships and lunchbox support for the underprivileged in Korea in 2020, emergency relief donations for the Syria and Turkey earthquakes in 2023, and a global food crisis response project in 2024. Recently, the members each donated 100 million won on their birthdays and meaningfully shared the love they received from fans.
Stray Kids is successfully carrying out its ‘largest-scale’ world tour ‘Stray Kids World Tour 〈dominATE〉’. They will hold a solo concert in Rio de Janeiro on April 1 (local time) and will have a 34-concert stadium tour in 22 regions across Latin America, Japan, North America, and Europe until the end of July.
