Singer Heejae Kim's ongoing philanthropic journey alongside his fans has reached a significant milestone.

The Korea Pediatric Cancer Foundation announced on the 9th that it received 500,000 won, the prize money from the June 'Good Star' King's Battle, in the name of Heejae Kim. This donation will be used to support care and treatment costs for children and adolescents suffering from pediatric cancer and rare, incurable diseases.

Cumulative donations reach 50.83 million won... to be used for care costs of families with pediatric patients

Including this latest 500,000 won, the cumulative donations delivered in Heejae Kim's name have reached a total of 50.83 million won. This is the result of fans' support for the artist translating into practical acts of sharing.

The donated funds are designated for children and adolescents aged 19 and under with pediatric cancer or rare, incurable diseases. In particular, the focus is on providing practical living expenses—such as nursing costs, livelihood expenses, and food costs—for families of patients undergoing long-term treatment, helping caregivers focus solely on treatment and recovery.

"Hong Seung-yoon, Director of the Korea Pediatric Cancer Foundation, stated, "We are deeply grateful to Heejae Kim and everyone who supports him for consistently delivering warm hearts to the children and families exhausted by long periods of fighting illness. We will deliver the funds to families in need so that children can regain their healthy daily lives."
