Stray Kids, the globally acclaimed K-pop group, have once again demonstrated their commitment to social responsibility by participating in a charitable fundraising project organized by their agency, JYP Entertainment. The initiative, launched on November 24 via the Naver Happybean platform, aims to promote the value of sharing under the campaign slogan Every Dream Matters.

The project, in collaboration with the social enterprise Spring Shine, offers unique rewards to participants. These include EDM-themed blankets and reusable bags designed by artists with developmental disabilities. Stray Kids members also contributed directly, with four members involved in designing the blankets. The group emphasized sustainability by using upcycled fabric to minimize environmental impact.

The reusable bags, another highlight of the campaign, feature Stray Kids’ signatures and customizable marine life patches, making them a meaningful and interactive keepsake for fans.

The fundraising event will run until January 14, 2025. As part of the initiative, 10 participants will be selected through a raffle to receive autographed Stray Kids albums, adding a personal touch to the campaign.

All proceeds from the project will be donated to the National Cancer Center in South Korea, specifically to support medical treatment costs for children and adolescents battling cancer. This aligns with the group’s dedication to leveraging their influence for meaningful causes.

This is not the first time Stray Kids have been recognized for their charitable efforts. The group has consistently used their platform to raise awareness and support various social initiatives, setting an example of responsible celebrity influence.

Stray Kids' philanthropic activities come alongside their musical achievements. The group recently made history with their latest release, SKZ-Hop Mixtape HOP, which secured the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart for the sixth consecutive time. This milestone underscores their position as a dominant force in the global music industry.

With their involvement in this project, Stray Kids continue to inspire fans worldwide, blending their artistic success with impactful social contributions. Their ability to connect with diverse communities through music and meaningful actions highlights their enduring appeal and influence.
