Not everyone chooses to spend their birthday giving rather than receiving, but for Stray Kids’ Han, it’s become something of a tradition. On September 14, his birthday, Han donated a total of 100 million won — roughly $74,400 — to the social welfare organization Angels Haven, continuing a pattern of using his own special day to make a difference for children who need it most.
Where the Donation Is Going
The funds will be split evenly between two causes. Half, 50 million won, will support the protection and psychological treatment of abused children, while the remaining 50 million won will go toward child-rearing and educational support at the Eunpyeong Angel’s Home.
Sharing his thoughts on the donation, Han expressed a hope to offer even a small sense of comfort to children who have been through pain, wishing for them to heal in a safe, nurturing environment and rediscover their happiness.
Stray Kids: A Pattern of Giving Back
This isn’t a one-time gesture for Han. For his birthday in 2025, he donated funds to Samsung Medical Center, supporting treatment and caregiving costs for both adult patients with severe illnesses and pediatric and adolescent patients. He has also contributed to World Vision Hong Kong to help fund fire damage recovery efforts in the city, showing a consistent commitment to charitable causes well beyond just his birthday.
Donation Breakdown
| Cause | Amount |
|---|---|
| Protection & Psychological Treatment for Abused Children | 50 million won |
| Child-Rearing & Educational Support (Eunpyeong Angel’s Home) | 50 million won |
| Total Donation | 100 million won (~$74,400) |
Stray Kids Stay Busy Beyond the Milestone
Han’s birthday comes during a particularly active stretch for Stray Kids as a group. They recently launched “STRAYCITY,” a festival they’re leading across three South American cities — Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City — while their world tour “RUN IT” continues to make stops around the globe.
