Stray Kids member Felix recently showed his global influence at a Sotheby's charity auction. He donated a Louis Vuitton monogram football (soccer ball) with his personal autograph. The auction house originally estimated it would sell for around $2,000. However, thanks to his immense popularity and growing excitement for the upcoming World Cup, the ball sold for a massive $28,160 (about 43 million won).

All the money from the sale will go to the children's charity UNICEF. The auction was part of the "Rebonds" project, which celebrates the 10-year partnership between Louis Vuitton and UNICEF. Felix's item was the most talked-about piece at the event, selling for much more than items from top Hollywood stars. For example, a similar football signed by actor Josh Hartnett sold for $2,816.

Felix has a special connection with both organizations. He has been a Louis Vuitton House Ambassador since 2023 and is the youngest member of the UNICEF Honors Club for major donors. In other news, he was also recently chosen to promote traditional Korean clothing globally through the government-run "Hanbok Wave" project.
