Nexon is continuing children's medical support with the "Nexon Hero 30" fund raised together with 160,000 users. As of October this year, it has delivered a cumulative 1.16 billion won to children's medical and rehabilitation support programmes. The fund is being used for home-visit rehabilitation treatment for children with disabilities, improvements to hospital environments and support for patients' families.

The Nexon Foundation said on Oct. 26 that about 160,000 users of 22 Nexon games took part in the "Nexon Hero Campaign" held at the end of 2024 to mark Nexon's 30th anniversary. A total of 3.4 billion won was raised and delivered to the Nexon Foundation.

The Nexon Foundation has been using the fund for children's medical and rehabilitation support programmes since last year. This year, it provided about 360,000,000 won as of October, bringing cumulative support to about 1.16 billion won. Beneficiaries include children's rehabilitation hospitals and children's integrated care centres nationwide, with a focus on improving access to treatment and reducing the caregiving burden on patients and families.

One of the main programmes is the "visiting rehabilitation" project at the Daejeon-Sejong-Chungnam public children's rehabilitation hospital supported by Nexon. It provides rehabilitation treatment services for children with severe disabilities who have difficulty travelling and for families that struggle to visit hospitals due to long-term caregiving.

The Nexon Foundation provided 300,000,000 won to the project in October last year. The hospital used the money to hire rehabilitation therapists and prepare vehicles dedicated to visiting rehabilitation, and it carried out rehabilitation treatment by visiting the homes and facilities of 13 children and teenagers with disabilities in the first half of this year.

Visiting rehabilitation is characterised by allowing training in daily movements such as using the toilet and showering in real living spaces. In a satisfaction survey of guardians who used the service, it scored 4.6 out of 5. Four out of five guardians who responded said depressive symptoms tended to ease.

Support was also provided to improve children's treatment environments. A character mural using the intellectual property of MapleStory was created in June at the Jeonnam-region Nexon public children's rehabilitation medical centre. The mural was installed in a second-floor corridor where walking rehabilitation treatment takes place, so that children could feel familiar with the treatment space.

In a satisfaction survey of hospital users conducted after the mural was created, the item "the centre atmosphere became brighter and more friendly" scored 4.7, and the item "it helped my child adapt to the centre" scored 4.5.

At Dotori House, the Nexon children's integrated care centre at Seoul National University Hospital, the first specialist play therapist was hired in June. The Nexon Foundation previously provided 100,000,000 won from the "Nexon Hero 30" fund in December last year for operation of Dotori House family programmes and play therapist labour costs. Play therapy was set up to help children who need medical procedures and physical rehabilitation gain emotional stability and interact with their surroundings.

Programmes were also run for families of child patients who have difficulty with activities outside the hospital. In April, 53 patients and family members from Dotori House took part in a spring outing to Everland. The Nexon Foundation rented a glamping site to ensure a safe outing, and 71 people attended the event, including 18 volunteers and operations staff.

At the Daejeon-Sejong-Chungnam public children's rehabilitation hospital supported by Nexon, it held the "2026 Together:on Sports Day" in May for children with disabilities and their families. It prepared tailored group activities and sports programmes so that children including wheelchair users could participate.

In September, it ran a one-night, two-day family trip programme titled "Happy Splash" in Cheonan, South Chungcheong province, for 10 patient-family teams. It supported families that typically face restrictions on travel and outside activities so they could take part in water play and recreation. Overall satisfaction with the programme was tallied at 4.96 out of 5.

Earlier, in November last year, the Nexon Foundation provided 300,000,000 won to the Purme Foundation Nexon Children's Rehabilitation Hospital to introduce the walking rehabilitation robot "Walkbot G". It was intended to help early walking training for children with disabilities in walking and exercise functions, and it also sponsored the "2026 Miracle365 Purme Run" event that supports rehabilitation treatment for children with disabilities.

The Nexon Foundation plans to continue rehabilitation treatment for children with disabilities, improvements to medical environments and support programmes for patients' families using the "Nexon Hero 30" fund.
