Lee Know Donates for Nepal Flood Relief
Stray Kids member Lee Know has donated 100 million won (S$93,000) to support children and families affected by the severe flooding in Nepal, according to his agency JYP Entertainment. The donation was made on August 28 through World Vision Korea, a statement confirmed on August 30.
Lee Know, 27, expressed his hopes that the contribution would help those struggling in the aftermath of the disaster. "I hope my contribution can be of some help to those going through such a difficult time," he said in a statement. "I sincerely hope that those displaced by the disaster, as well as everyone working on relief efforts on the ground, can return to their peaceful daily lives as soon as possible."
The funds will be directed toward emergency relief and livelihood support, according to World Vision. The organization plans to provide affected families with food, temporary shelter, clean water, and sanitation services, as reported by both Outlook India and The Straits Times.
A History of Giving
The donation is the latest in a series of charitable contributions by Lee Know. He has sponsored children through World Vision since 2014, as noted by Outlook India. In 2024, he donated 100 million won to World Vision's global food crisis response program, a contribution recognized by The Straits Times, which mentioned his membership in the organization's Bob Pierce Honor Club.
Last year, on his birthday, Lee Know made two additional donations of 100 million won each. One supported patients with serious illnesses at Samsung Medical Center, while the other went to Nabiya Saranghae, an organization caring for abandoned cats, according to both outlets.
More recently, Lee Know joined his fellow Stray Kids members in making donations for relief efforts following major wildfires in southeastern South Korea and a deadly fire in Hong Kong in 2025, as reported by The Straits Times.
Nepal Flood Crisis
The donation comes as Nepal grapples with the aftermath of devastating flash floods. At least 800 people have died and more than 3,000 remain unaccounted for, as reported by both outlets. Nepal's foreign ministry has said that 886 people have been rescued so far.
Around 10,000 households are believed to need immediate assistance, according to Outlook India. Fresh flood alerts have been issued in some areas following rising water levels in the Bhotekoshi River.
Upcoming Tour
Stray Kids are scheduled to perform two shows at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on March 6 and 7 as part of their Run It world tour, which began in Seoul on July 25 and includes stops in Tokyo, Osaka, Hong Kong, Taipei, and Bangkok, according to The Straits Times.
