Stray Kids' Lee Know donates 100 million won to help Nepal flood victims

On 28 August, Stray Kids member Lee Know made a substantial donation of 100 million won ($72,610) to aid flood victims in Nepal. The contribution was made through the international relief organization World Vision Korea, with the goal of providing immediate relief to children and families displaced by the catastrophic floods. Lee Know's donation will be directed towards food and nutritional support, temporary housing, clean water, sanitation, and hygiene assistance for the affected communities.

The floods struck northern Nepal on 26 August, resulting in hundreds of fatalities, widespread destruction of infrastructure, and the displacement of entire communities. Lee Know expressed his hope that his donation could offer some comfort to those in need, emphasizing his desire for the flood victims to return to their normal lives as soon as possible.

The musician has a history of quietly supporting charitable causes, most recently donating 200 million won on his birthday to support patients and animal welfare. Stray Kids and their label JYP Entertainment have consistently demonstrated their commitment to giving back, as evidenced by their previous donations following the Hong Kong fire and their contributions ahead of their MAMA Awards performance.
