Samsung Medical Center announced on Monday that Max Changmin, a member of the K-pop group TVXQ, donated 55 million won ($40,000) to the Happiness Fund for pediatric and adolescent patients in observance of Children's Day.
The donation is intended to help children and adolescent patients who face constraints in treatment due to financial difficulties. The funds will be used to ease patients' medical expense burdens and support them so they can focus on treatment and rehabilitation.
"I want to be a small source of strength for children who are fighting illness and going through difficult times, even on Children's Day when all children in the world should be happiest," Max Changmin said. "I sincerely hope for a future in which children can regain their bright and healthy smiles and fully pursue their precious dreams."
Max Changmin previously donated 50 million won to Samsung Medical Center last Christmas. As a member of the "Green Noble Club," a high-value donor group of ChildFund Korea, he has consistently engaged in charitable activities, including supporting children affected by the Pohang earthquake, families impacted by torrential rains, and health support for underprivileged children.
