On Oct. 31, 2018, a non-profit animal rights organization, Coexistence of Animal Rights on Earth, also known as CARE, held a ceremony in the Care Adoption Center, assigning the trending boy band, 'Stray Kids' as honorary ambassadors.

Stray Kids, often abbreviated as SKZ, is a South-Korean boy band that was formed through a reality TV show in 2017 following the same name, by JYP Entertainment. Later, their first official debut was on March 25, 2018, in the extended play of "I Am Not."

Through the reality TV show, nine members made it through. However, due to unclarified personal reasons, one member, Woojin, left the group. Leading to the famous eight members, Bang Chan, Lee Know, Chang Bin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N, are the members recognized today.

Even though Stray Kids are famous for their music, their heart-warming personalities and caring hearts continue to win the hearts of fans and expand their worldwide recognition.

In the same year as their debut, 2018, Stray Kids accomplished and helped the world in many ways, making positive impacts on their fans and society.

Teaming up with the CARE organization, Stray Kids was able to successfully help make a positive impact on prejudiced animals in shelters, called the 'Black Dog Campaign. '

The Black Dog Campaign is an ongoing campaign since 2017 and is working to eliminate the distinction between black dogs and other colored dogs because of their color.

Supporting the campaign, CARE released their Black Dog Syndrome film in collaboration with INNOCEAN Worldwide, spreading the message, "adopt a world without discrimination and prejudice. "

At the Care Adoption Center, participants in the event included the CARE President, Park So-Yeon, CARE activists and all the members of Stray Kids.

Stray Kids have become the first honorary 'campaign' ambassadors, and the first idol group to come forward as an honorary ambassador for the non-governmental organization animal branch.

As stated in their speech, Stray Kids said, "Without regard to color or breed, we hope all abandoned dogs can find their happiness again. "
