A heartwarming story about IU has recently been shared, highlighting her thoughtful and caring nature. 

On April 3rd, the mother of child actress Shin Chae Rin shared an emotional post, revealing IU's special gift for the young star.

In the post, Shin Chae Rin's mother wrote, “It was my first time seeing a fish-shaped bread truck.” She went on to express her gratitude, saying, “‘For whatever reason, you met me, loved me, and stayed by my side.’ I wonder what good deeds we must have done in our past lives for us to receive such blessings,” adding, “IU’s mom sent a fish-shaped bread truck for Chae Rin’s final scene with such thoughtfulness.”

The mother continued, “The message and photos were all perfect. It was an incredibly touching gift. IU didn’t even say a word, and just surprised us by sending the truck to the set. 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.”

Throughout the filming, IU not only supported Shin Chae Rin but also went above and beyond with this surprise gift. It’s clear that IU’s thoughtful gesture, filled with attention to detail, touched the hearts of everyone involved.
