Singer IU has once again shown her warm heart, making a generous donation in honor of Children’s Day 2025.

On May 5, her agency EDAM Entertainment announced, “To commemorate Children’s Day, IU donated a total of 150 million KRW under the name ‘IUaena’ (IU + Uaena, the name of her fanclub).” The donation will go toward supporting youth preparing for independence and improving the living conditions of children with disabilities.

Specifically, 62 million KRW was donated to Eden I Ville, and 90 million KRW was given to Hansarang Village and Hansarang Infant Care Center for Children with Disabilities. The funds for Eden I Ville will be used to build safe spaces for self-supporting teens and to support Children’s Day gifts and activities. 

The donation to Hansarang institutions will be used to replace old boilers, cover medical and rehabilitation costs, and provide gifts for children—helping improve their day-to-day lives.

Since debuting in 2008, IU has consistently donated on meaningful occasions such as her debut anniversary, birthdays, and year-end holidays—always under the joint name IUaena. In 2019, she was named the youngest person included in Forbes Asia’s Heroes of Philanthropy. 

Just this past March, she donated 200 million KRW to support wildfire recovery efforts in Gyeongsang Province and improve working conditions for firefighters.

Meanwhile, IU recently impressed audiences by playing two roles in the Netflix series 'When Life Gives You Tangerines', and is currently preparing for her next project, 'The Queen of Tears in the 21st Century'.
