I.N of Stray Kids celebrated his birthday and donated 100 million won (about 10 million yen). On February 8, his birthday, I.N donated a total of 100 million won to the National Cancer Center in Korea to repay the love he received from fans. I.N's donation is intended to be used for the treatment costs of cancer patients in socially difficult situations receiving treatment at the National Cancer Center and for psychological treatment support for pediatric and adolescent cancer patients. I.N stated, 'I hope to share the love I received from all the fans and that the days of those enduring long treatment times become a little warmer. Although it is a small help, I hope it reaches them as hope and courage, and I sincerely pray for their recovery.' I.N practices the value of sharing through continuous donation activities. In 2024, he will be appointed as the youngest member (at 23 years old) of the Green Noble Club, a gathering of high donors for the child welfare organization 'Green Umbrella.' Last year, he donated treatment costs for pediatric cancer patients at Samsung Seoul Hospital on his birthday. Additionally, in April 2025, he will participate in recovery support for wildfire damage in Gyeongsangnam-do and Gyeongsangbuk-do, and in November, he will join Stray Kids in sharing efforts for recovery from a fire in Hong Kong. Stray Kids is expected to achieve significant results in 2025, showcasing their presence as 'global top artists.' They will continue their energetic activities in 2026, performing as headliners at 'The Governors Ball Music Festival' in New York on June 6 and 'Rock in Rio' in Brazil on September 11, interacting with fans worldwide.
