Stray Kids' Bang Chan donated 300 million won to mark his birthday, bringing his total charitable giving this year to 500 million won.

On the 3rd, Bang Chan delivered a total of 300 million won, with 100 million won each to the incorporated foundation HereCycle, the international relief and development NGO World Vision, and the incorporated foundation East Asia Sea Community Ocean (OSEAN). The funds are scheduled to be used for HereCycle's hearing loss medical expenses and social reintegration support for young people, World Vision's Dream Scholarship program and tailored growth support for children and adolescents from low-income and vulnerable households, and Ocean's coastal cleanup and marine debris collection projects as well as river purification activities.

On the same day, Bang Chan stated through his agency JYP Entertainment, "It is meaningful that I was able to convey my heart, however small, to various fields in need of attention, from children's dreams to the foundation we inhabit. I hope my heart reaches all those in need and contributes to us all dreaming of a better tomorrow together."

Bang Chan has been sharing warmth throughout society through consistent charitable activities. Previously, in September, he donated a total of 200 million won, with 100 million won each to Seoul Rehabilitation Hospital for the establishment of a specialized rehabilitation center tailored to patient age and disease characteristics, and to the Korea Committee for UNICEF for recovery from the Nepal flood disaster. On his birthday in 2025, he donated a total of 200 million won, with 100 million won to Samsung Seoul Hospital to support treatment costs for pediatric and adolescent patients, and 100 million won to the Korea Committee for UNICEF to support children worldwide. On his birthday in 2024, he delivered 100 million won to the Chungmu Foundation (Love's Fruit) for the support of people with developmental disabilities, leading to his appointment as a member of the high-value donor group "Honor Society," demonstrating his generous heart.

Last year, to support recovery from wildfires in the Gyeongnam and Gyeongbuk regions and fire damage in Hong Kong, Bang Chan, along with Stray Kids members, donated funds to the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association, World Vision, and World Vision Hong Kong.

Bang Chan, known as the copyright holder of 245 songs—the highest among K-pop idols according to the Korea Music Copyright Association (KOMCA)—leads the group's production team 3RACHA alongside members Changbin and Han, performing on stages worldwide with music he has produced himself. As part of the group-led festival "STRAYCITY," which concluded in Mexico City, Mexico, on September 25 and 26 local time, five performances across three regions in Latin America drew a total audience of 270,000.
