Singer and actress IU took to social media on May 19 to share a cheerful birthday update, captioned:
“HAPPY IU MONTH(?) feat. Kkot-Galpi 3” alongside several photos from her celebration.
The post featured IU wearing a crown and beaming in front of a birthday cake, taking mirror selfies, and enjoying casual moments outside of filming. The variety of snapshots delighted fans and quickly drew warm responses.
Fans filled the comments with birthday wishes, writing:
“May is so precious because it’s your birthday month,”
“You know what? Let’s just give all of May to you!”
On her birthday, May 16, IU once again made headlines for her generosity, donating 200 million KRW (approx. $145,000 USD). This follows earlier donations made in March, when she contributed the same amount to support recovery efforts from large-scale wildfires in the Gyeongsang region and to improve working conditions for firefighters.
On Children’s Day in May, she donated an additional 150 million KRW to support child and youth welfare.
Altogether, IU has donated 550 million KRW (approx. $400,000 USD) so far this year alone.
Meanwhile, IU is gearing up to release "Kkot-Galpi 3"—her first remake album in eight years—on May 27. She is also preparing to begin filming her next drama, '21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife' (working title).
With her birthday, comeback album, and acting projects all lining up this May, IU continues to captivate fans with both her talent and heart.
