On April 18, 2025, Esquire Korea published an interview with Stray Kids' Felix for the magazine's May edition. In the interview, the Stray Kids' vocalist shared about the donations and charity work in Laos.
During the interview, when asked about his recent charity and volunteer work and whether it was influenced by his connection with fans, Felix revealed that he has been donating since he was a child and that the idea resonated with him. He stated, as translated by an X account, @bbokseungah.
"The start actually goes back much further. Since i was young, I had a habit of donating even if it was just a dollar. The thought that even a single dollar could help someone really resonated with me."

Felix then said that he had always wanted to make a bigger donation as he grew up. He ended up doing something that allowed him to receive so much love. This made him realize that he should give back even more love in return.
Further in the interview, he also spoke about his volunteer work in Laos during his vacation. He described it as an eye-opening experience by seeing the reality on the ground, which is far removed from screens and imagination. He added, as translated by @bbokseungah,
"So I thought, "I'm so glad I decided to volunteer in person."
For the unversed, the Stray Kids' member has been a dedicated philanthropist, notably for supporting Save the Children since 2020 and earning a spot in their honor club.
He also donated 50 million won to aid the 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquake relief efforts. In 2024, he gave 100 million won to UNICEF's Korean Committee to improve sanitation and nutrition for Laotian children and became a member of the UNICEF Honours Club.
He also volunteered in Laos with his mother and made additional donations to UNICEF and World Vision for children's nutrition and support projects in Laos and Korea. His efforts earned him the role of UNICEF goodwill ambassador to Korea.
