Overview

  • The donation was made through World Vision Korea and confirmed by JYP Entertainment after being given on August 28 to support emergency response in Nepal.
  • World Vision said the money will pay for immediate needs such as food, temporary shelter, clean water and basic sanitation for displaced families.
  • The gift arrives as Nepal faces a large, ongoing emergency with UN OCHA estimating roughly 10,000 households need urgent aid and reports of hundreds dead and thousands unaccounted for.
  • Lee Know issued a statement saying he hoped the contribution would bring strength to those affected and aid workers, and the donation continues his long record of giving and sponsorship with World Vision since 2014.
  • The payment is a focused, short-term relief boost that can fund essential supplies on the ground and also draws public attention to a crisis requiring larger, sustained humanitarian support while Stray Kids continue an active international tour schedule.
