Stray Kids' Bang Chan donates 200 million won for Nepal — Korea Herald

In South Korea, Stray Kids leader Bang Chan donated 200 million won, or about $144,295, for rehabilitation assistance and community recovery following large-scale floods in Nepal. This was reported by The Korea Herald, citing JYP Entertainment.

Assistance for a hospital and Nepal

The musician transferred 100 million won each to Seoul Rehabilitation Hospital and the Korean Committee for UNICEF. The funds for the hospital will be used to establish specialized rehabilitation centers tailored to patients' ages and medical needs.

The donation to the Korean Committee for UNICEF will be directed toward restoring communities affected by the recent major floods in Nepal. In a JYP Entertainment release, Bang Chan said he wanted to offer at least some support to people going through exhausting and difficult times and expressed hope for their swift return to normal life.
