Singer and actor IU marked her birthday by making a warm donation totaling 300 million won under the name "IU Aena," which combines her fandom name.
On the 16th, her agency EDAM Entertainment said the donation included 100 million won to Asan Medical Center and 50 million won each to Together Walking Children, Milk Delivery Checking on the Elderly, Korea Single Mothers and Families Association, and Warm Companion.
The raised funds will be used to provide practical support across society where needed, including medical expenses for economically disadvantaged patients, education for children and adolescents, care for elderly people living alone, support for vulnerable single-mother households, and advanced assistive devices for people with disabilities.
IU's consistent good deeds always warm hearts. She has unfailingly carried out charitable activities on special days such as her debut anniversary, birthday and year-end holidays, serving as a model of positive influence.
In addition to substantial donations, heartwarming stories of her carefully writing handwritten letters and preparing gifts for child actors she befriended through her work are also warming the public's hearts.
Meanwhile, IU, who is shining in various fields, is currently appearing as the lead character Seong Hee-ju in MBC's Friday-Saturday drama Perfect Crown, meeting viewers in living rooms.
