Stray Kids' Lino celebrated his birthday and donated 200 million won (about 2.1 million USD). On the 25th, he donated 100 million won (about 1.05 million USD) to Samsung Seoul Hospital and 100 million won to the Korean cat protection group 'Nabiya Saranghae', totaling 200 million won. The donated funds will be used for treatment costs for adult patients with severe diseases and pediatric patients undergoing surgeries and transplants at Samsung Seoul Hospital, as well as for the rescue, protection, and care of stray cats being carried out by Nabiya Saranghae. He stated, 'Thanks to the warm support from all the fans on this special day, I was able to practice important sharing. I sincerely hope my feelings reach the necessary places and provide a small strength and comfort to all the precious lives and those experiencing difficulties in the world.' Lino is engaged in ongoing donation activities. In January 2024, he plans to donate 100 million won to World Vision's global food crisis response project to help children in impoverished countries suffering from food shortages due to rapid climate change, and he became a member of World Vision's 'Bob Pierce Honor Club'. He has been supporting overseas children through World Vision since 2014, establishing relationships with four children, and in February 2023, he focused on emergency relief for the Turkey-Syria earthquake. In April, along with Stray Kids members, he supported 800 million won (about 800,000 USD) to Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association and World Vision for emergency relief activities due to wildfires in the Gyeongnam and Gyeongbuk regions. Stray Kids will release their new album SKZ IT TAPE 'DO IT' on November 21 and make a comeback.
