Singer Young Tak has donated the entire prize money from the "Good Star King Competition" to support children with pediatric cancer and leukemia, according to the Korea Children's Cancer Foundation.
"Good Star" is a donation platform service that supports the positive influence of celebrities. It operates by allowing users to watch videos and listen to songs of participating singers in the app's competition, support them through missions within the app, and donate prize money according to the rankings.
Young Tak, who has achieved a cumulative donation amount of 8.36 million won through "Good Star," has expanded his activities beyond music to various genres by making special appearances in shows like "Grumpy Intern," "Surviving as an Entertainment Manager," and "Wind, Clouds, and Rain."

Furthermore, Young Tak, known for his lively and witty remarks, is expected to actively participate as a regular panelist in the new SBS talk show "Kang Sim Jang League," which will start airing on May 23rd, alongside MCs Kang Ho-dong and Lee Seung-gi.
The prize money donated by Young Tak under his name in the "King Competition" will be used for the medical expenses of children suffering from pediatric cancer, leukemia, and rare incurable diseases. The Korea Children's Cancer Foundation's support program covers surgery costs and hospital treatment expenses for children diagnosed with pediatric cancer, leukemia, and rare incurable diseases aged 25 and under. The program provides support ranging from a minimum of 5 million won to a maximum of 30 million won, including surgery expenses, hospital treatment expenses, transplant costs, purchase of rare medications, and support for hospital assistive devices.
