Singer and actor IU donated 100 million won for Children's Day, and warmed hearts by also taking care of the child actors from "When Life Gives You Tangerines".
On the 4th, child actor Kim Tae-yeon posted several photos on social media along with the message, "Ji-eun unnie, thank you. I miss you so much, unnie. And I'm not your aunt, I'm unnie! I'll work hard and definitely come to see you again. Unnie, I love you."
Kim Tae-yeon's mother also expressed gratitude again, saying, "Actor IU, thank you so much..! Tae-yeon is really very happy," and "Thanks to the actor, she is growing up upright and diligent! Truly, thank you once again."
In the released photos, Kim Tae-yeon is seen smiling brightly while holding a handwritten letter and gifts personally written and given by IU. Kim Tae-yeon gave a passionate performance last year as the young version of Oh Ae-sun, the character played by IU in the Netflix series "When Life Gives You Tangerines."
On the same day, the mother of child actor Ahn Tae-rin, who played the young Geum-myeong in "When Life Gives You Tangerines," expressed her gratitude, saying, "I can't even grasp how big-hearted and generous actor IU is. Sending a Children's Day gift and even a letter cannot be fully expressed by words of thanks."
IU not only took care of her own child actor but also delivered a gift to Lee Cheon-mu, who played the young version of Yang Gwan-sik (Park Bo Gum, Park Hae-jun).
Lee Cheon-mu's mother expressed, "We, who avoid crowded places, were planning to spend another quiet Children's Day this year, but thanks to IU nuna it became a completely touching and shocking Children's Day. How can a person be like this? Is she an angel or AI? It's amazing and I am grateful that she remembered Cheon-mu."
In addition, IU donated 100 million won for Children's Day. IU gave 50 million won each to the Korea Child Welfare Association and the National Association of Regional Child Centers, supporting goods and medical expenses for children living in child welfare facilities.
