Stray Kids Members Teach Hospital School Students in 'JYP 4 EARTH' Campaign

Stray Kids members Bang Chan, Lee Know and I.N spent a day as teachers at a hospital school in Seoul, joining young patients for lessons built around one of the group's own songs. JYP Entertainment released the video, titled "Stray Kids' Dreaming Hospital School," on its official YouTube channel on Thursday.

The visit is part of "JYP 4 EARTH," the agency's ongoing social impact campaign. The three members traveled to the hospital school at Samsung Medical Center, which works with JYP Entertainment on a medical expense support program for young patients.

The day's lessons centered on "Youtiful," a track from Stray Kids' third full-length album "★★★★★ (5-STAR)." Bang Chan read the lyrics with students and walked them through the meaning. Lee Know led a craft session, making baking-themed drawing keyrings with the class. I.N guided a letter-writing activity, helping students put their feelings into words for people who matter to them.

The students wrote letters of thanks to parents, social workers and medical staff. One student, who had received treatment through a donation from Lee Know, handed him a thank-you letter in person.

The three members shared what the day meant to them. "I think I'm the one who was really moved," I.N said. "I'll keep working to be a singer who can give kids dreams and hope." Bang Chan said reading the students' letters hit him in an unexpected way. "It felt strange and it stayed with me," he said. "I think this will be a moment I won't forget, and I'd like to come back." Lee Know kept his message simple. "It was such a good day," he said. "I hope the kids don't get sick and that they grow up healthy."

The students answered in kind. "Today was so much fun. We'll eat well, sleep well and work hard on our treatment, and we want to meet again when we're healthy. Stray Kids, fighting!"

Stray Kids has continued to expand its global touring footprint this year. The group headlined The Governors Ball Music Festival in the United States on June 6, and is scheduled to perform at Rock in Rio in Brazil in September.
