It was so overwhelming… I couldn’t help but cry.” She also shared, “We’ve always been deeply touched and grateful for the many gifts, but the fish-shaped bread truck exceeded our expectations... I’m speechless. We’re so thankful for how much IU’s mom cares for Chae Rin and loves her. I respect and love her always.”
Shin Chae Rin’s mother also mentioned, “Many people complimented Chae Rin on her acting and showered her with even more love that day.” She ended the post with heartfelt thanks: “Thank you for giving such an unforgettable gift.”
The post also included a photo of the fish-shaped bread truck sent by IU to the filming set of the Netflix series 'When Life Gives You Tangerines,' where Shin Chae Rin played the young version of IU’s character, O Ae Sun’s first daughter, Yang Geum Myeong.
What stood out most was the heartfelt message IU included with the truck: “Chae Rin, you’ve worked so hard. Thank you. To everyone who enjoys fish-shaped bread today, please love Chae Rin even more.”
