IU Donates 200 Million KRW to Support Single Mothers and Foster Youth in 2026
Korean singer and actress IU wrapped up the year with a touching gesture by donating 200 million KRW (around $140,000) to vulnerable communities.
EDAM Entertainment confirmed she made the contribution on December 31 under the name ‘IUAENA’, ensuring she shared the credit with her devoted fans.

It covers living expenses for single mothers and youth aging out of foster care, finances cochlear implants, and supplies essential food to elderly citizens facing hunger, ensuring help reaches those struggling this winter.
IU has built a heartwarming tradition of consistent giving. From birthdays to holidays, she reliably donates to support children, disaster relief, and social causes.
Her steady generosity continues to spread a powerful, positive influence that deeply touches hearts across the nation.
