Youngtak’s fan group Santaklaus once again delivered a heartwarming gift this year, continuing its charitable donations to children’s welfare facilities for the fourth year in a row. This year, the group provided additional essential household appliances such as washing machines and microwave ovens, helping improve facility operations and the children’s living environment. Living up to its name, Santaklaus completed a warm winter with what can truly be described as a “Santa Claus–like donation.”


Santaklaus shared, “The donations we began by following Youngtak’s positive influence have now continued for four years. All members came together with one heart, imagining the joy on the children’s faces as they receive gifts they personally chose. We hope to continue sincere acts of sharing in the future as well.”


Representatives from the children’s care facilities expressed their gratitude, saying, “We are deeply thankful for the unwavering warmth and kindness you share with us every year. Our relationship with Santaklaus has been built on deep trust and friendship, and the sincerity behind this giving brings great joy to the children.”


Meanwhile, singer Youngtak remains actively engaged across various fields during the year-end and New Year season. From January 9 to 11, 2026, he will meet fans at the Seoul encore concerts of “Tak Show 4.” He also continues his steady role as vice principal MC on KBS2’s Dogs Are Incredible, and has expanded his activities by serving as the narrator for KBS1’s sports documentary “Sky Shoot Again, The Sisters Are Back.” In addition, he is participating in year-end award ceremonies and major events, maintaining a highly active schedule.


Youngtak’s passion on stage is echoed through his fans’ acts of sharing. The four-year-long donations by Santaklaus are regarded as a meaningful example of how fandom culture can expand into social solidarity, demonstrating that fan activities can maintain a lasting and positive connection with local communities.
