On February 5, Seoul Children’s Hospital revealed that Soobin, leader of the K-pop boy group TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT), donated 100 million KRW. This generous act, carried out on January 31, aims to support children with severe disabilities, showcasing Soobin‘s deep compassion and commitment to making a difference in the lives of the young and vulnerable.
Hospital officials allocated his donation carefully. Twenty million KRW will cover medical expenses for children in need of mental and physical rehabilitation. The remaining 80 million KRW went to fund projects aimed at improving the treatment environment within the hospital. This initiative reflects a holistic approach to supporting the health and well-being of children dealing with serious ailments.
In March, the hospital will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Good Neighbors and the Seoul Community Chest. This will focus on identifying vulnerable groups in need of medical support. Starting in April, parts of the hospital will be remodeled based on user feedback. This will ensure that its facilities will meet the needs of those it serves.

Who taught Soobin to be generous?
The hospital has witnessed a significant increase in donations, totaling 940 million KRW last year. This includes contributions aimed at enhancing the treatment environment and providing essential medical equipment, such as ventilators and rehabilitation robotics, for children without guardians. Last year’s donations, more than four times the five-year average, played a crucial role in supporting the medically disadvantaged, a testament to the ongoing corporate social responsibility activities and the generosity of individuals like Soobin.
Nam Min, the director of the Seoul Children’s Hospital, expressed his gratitude for the donors’ kindness, which has enabled the hospital to continue its work. He pledged to honor them by identifying and supporting more vulnerable families this year.
Soobin‘s philanthropy is rooted in the values his family instilled in him. In a past interview with Weverse magazine, he shared a poignant memory of his mother’s influence, recalling how she once made a donation in tears while watching TV. She once advised him, “When you grow up, you should always be kind and help anyone in need.” This lesson has clearly shaped Soobin‘s personality, inspiring him to use his platform and resources to make a positive impact on society. – K-Pop News Writer
