Recently, many idols have been making donations on their birthdays, spreading what can only be described as a positive influence. The amounts are so large that the word "hundreds of millions" naturally comes to mind.
For several years now, a culture known as "kind flex" (flex) has emerged among idols, where they donate on their birthdays. This year, this trend has become particularly prominent, with some groups having all their members participate in donation campaigns totaling hundreds of millions of won, further amplifying the heartwarming atmosphere.

On February 18, J-Hope of group BTS donated a total of 300 million won—200 million won to Seoul Asan Hospital and 1 billion won to Green Umbrella—to celebrate his birthday. The funds will be used for pediatric patients. Through this donation, J-Hope was added as a member of the "Green Noble Trinity Club," a donor group whose cumulative contributions to Green Umbrella exceed 1 billion won.
RM donated a total of 200 million won—1 billion won each to Seoul Asan Hospital and Korea University Medical Center—on his birthday on September 12 last year.

All members of Stray Kids participated in a relay of "birthday donations totaling hundreds of millions of won." On September 15, Felix donated a total of 300 million won—1 billion won each to Samsung Seoul Hospital and Seoul National University Children's Hospital, and 50 million won each to Books International and UNICEF Korea Committee.
On the previous day, September 14, Bang Chan donated a total of 1 billion won to the social welfare foundation Angels Haven. Changbin donated a total of 1 billion won to Samsung Seoul Hospital on August 11, and I.N, whose birthday is February 8, donated a total of 1 billion won for treatment support for vulnerable cancer patients and pediatric/adolescent cancer patients.
Last year, Bang Chan and Lee Know each generously donated 200 million won on their birthdays, October 3 and October 25, respectively, while Hyunjin and Seungmin donated 0.1 billion won each on March 20 and September 22.


Members of group NCT also made generous birthday donations. Doyoung donated 1 billion won to the international relief and development NGO World Vision on his birthday, February 1, to support a project for youth preparing for independence. Seong donated 250 million won to Samsung Seoul Hospital on his birthday, February 5, matching the date of his birth.
