Singer and actress IU has once again continued her heartwarming acts of kindness by donating 100 million KRW in celebration of Children's Day.
On the 5th, her agency, EDAM Entertainment, officially announced, "IU donated a total of 100 million KRW under the name of IUAENA (IU+UAENA) to mark Children's Day."
This donation will be used for practical support for children and adolescents.
The funds were split equally, with 50 million KRW each donated to the Korea Child Welfare Association and the Korea Association of Community Children's Centers (KACCC).
The donation will be used to provide supplies and medical support for children living in welfare facilities. It is also planned to be used in various forms, such as providing birthday gifts and cultural experience programs for children at local children's centers.
IU has established herself as an icon of 'positive influence' by consistently making donations under the name of her fandom, UAENA, on meaningful occasions such as her debut anniversary, birthday, and year-end holidays.
Notably, she donated 200 million KRW at the end of last year, and in March of the same year, she donated another 200 million KRW to support victims of major wildfires in the Gyeongsang region and to improve firefighters' working conditions.
Furthermore, IU has also donated 150 million KRW on Children's Day in the past, along with 200 million KRW each on her birthday and debut anniversary to support vulnerable communities. This latest 100 million KRW donation continued her long-standing sharing activities.
Meanwhile, IU is currently active as an actress, starring as Sung Heejoo in the MBC Fri-Sat drama 'Perfect Crown.'
