May 5 marks Children's Day in many countries including Korea, and IU celebrated the day by making a very generous donation.
On May 4, it was reported that IU donated 100 million won (approx. $92,290 U.S.) to Child Fund Korea to support children from needy families.
IU said, "Normally on Children's Day, kids go on happy family trips with their parents or receive presents they've always wanted and have a good time. I've heard that there are children who aren't in a state to be able to do that. I wanted to do something for those children."
The chairman of Child Fund Korea Lee Jae Hoon stated, "Thank you for remembering the children who are left out from laughing as much as they want on Children's Day. We will carefully use [the funds] to help the children of needy families find happiness."
