The Korea Foundation for Pediatric Cancer (Chairman Lee Sung-hee) announced that 2 million won in prize money for the Good Star's January Singer contest was donated in the name of singer Lim Young-woong. The donation will be used to pay for care and treatment for children suffering from childhood cancer, leukemia, and rare and intractable diseases.

The donation is the result of Lim Young-woong's rise to the throne in January 2026 through a vote of fans on the Good Star platform. The Korea Pediatric Cancer Foundation's care and treatment cost (temporary) project, which will be supported, is a project to relieve the economic burden by providing hospitalization, drug costs, and treatment incidental costs to families of children in economic difficulties due to sudden treatment expenditures, and help them focus on treatment in a stable environment.

Including this prize, Lim Young-woong's cumulative donations delivered through Good Star totaled 12.02 million won. The accumulated donations have been executed in accordance with the practical needs of patients' families, such as surgery and chemotherapy costs, purchase of rare drugs, and support for hospital aids.

Hong Seung-yoon, director of the Korea Pediatric Cancer Foundation, said, "The precious touch delivered steadily is very helpful to children and adolescents with cancer who are feeling the burden of treatment costs. Thank you for adding a warm helping hand every time," he said.

The Korea Pediatric Cancer Foundation is a non-profit foundation registered with the Ministry of Health and Welfare in 2001 and has continued various projects such as support for medical and care expenses, emotional support, and blood donation campaigns for children with cancer, leukemia, rare diseases, and adolescents.

Meanwhile, singer Lim Young-woong will hold a national tour concert and meet with fans at Hall 1 and 2 of BEXCO Exhibition Hall 1 in Busan for three days from February 6 to 8.
