Boy group n.SSign took part as a celebratory performer in the ‘2026 Hope Basketball With Seeds of Hope and Stars’ charity game held at Yongin Indoor Gymnasium in Gyeonggi Province on Oct. 3. The group filled the court with a bright, refreshing performance and lifted the festive mood. Organized by the Han Ki-bum Hope Sharing foundation, the charity game was held to encourage registration for organ and tissue donation and to spread a culture of sharing life. Donors’ families were invited to receive words of comfort, and all proceeds will go toward surgery costs for children with heart disease. Team Love, led by foundation chairman Han Ki-bum, faced Team Hope, led by coach Kim Yoo-taek, with former pro basketball players, actors, comedians and influencers taking part. Team Love pulled ahead with late focus in the fourth quarter to win 80–77. The game was also streamed live on YouTube’s Han Ki-bum TV and Naver TV. Alongside n.SSign, the event featured celebratory performances by Kim Jae-rong, Jeong Chan-hee and Cheongchun Sonyeondan, as well as video messages from SUPER JUNIOR’s Shindong and Leeteuk, Seunghan and NCT’s Johnny. After the game, the surgery funds for children with heart disease were presented, and participating players received certificates for their talent donation.
