Fans of singer Lee Chan-won have carried out an act of kindness.

On the 9th, the Korea Pediatric Cancer Foundation (under the name of Lee Sung-hee) announced that it received a donation of 1 million won from the May "Good Star" King of Pop competition, in Lee Chan-won's name, to support medical treatment costs for children and adolescents with pediatric cancer, leukemia, and rare intractable diseases.

Good Star is a donation platform service that supports the positive influence of stars. This act of sharing is a case where the passionate support from fans active on Good Star led to a donation, adding deep meaning as support for the artist was connected to tangible help for children in need of treatment. It is evaluated that the fans' support went beyond simple participation, leading to warm solidarity accompanying the lonely treatment journey of families with sick children.

Including this prize money, Lee Chan-won's cumulative donations through Good Star amount to a total of 78.71 million won. The consistent sharing every month not only eases the economic burden on families of sick children but also serves as a great source of strength to continue the hope of recovery even during the arduous treatment process.

The donated funds will be used for the medical treatment cost support program operated by the Korea Pediatric Cancer Foundation. This program targets children and adolescents aged 25 or younger who developed the disease before age 19, broadly supporting costs needed throughout the treatment process, including surgery fees, transplant fees, purchases of rare medicines, and acquisition of hospital assistive devices. Through this, it helps families who face delays or difficulties in treatment due to economic burdens to focus solely on recovery in a stable environment.

Meanwhile, Lee Chan-won successfully concluded his solo concert tour, "Shining Day," which ran for about six months, with an encore performance at the Seoul Olympic Gymnastics Arena (KSPO DOME).
