Singer and actor IU donated 300 million won on her birthday Saturday. Her agency Edam Entertainment confirmed the gift under the name IUaena.
One hundred million won went to Asan Medical Center in Seoul. The remaining 200 million won was split equally among four local charity groups.
The funds will support patients facing financial difficulties, educational and cultural programs for children and adolescents, elderly people living alone, single-mother households, and advanced assistive devices for people with disabilities.
IU has made regular donations under the IUaena name on her debut anniversary, birthdays, and year-end holidays. Earlier this month she gave 100 million won to support children and teenagers on Children's Day.
