IU Donates Samgyetang to Single-Mother Families for Chobok

IU has once again shown her generosity by supporting families in need during Chobok, one of South Korea's traditional summer days when people commonly eat samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) to stay healthy during the hottest season.

On July 15, the singer and actress donated samgyetang meals to single-mother households through the Korean Unwed Mothers Families Association. The heartwarming gesture became known after recipients shared handwritten letters expressing their gratitude to IU

Continuing Her Long Tradition of Giving

This latest donation follows another major act of philanthropy earlier this year. On her birthday in May, IU donated 300 million KRW under the name "IUaena", supporting several charitable organizations, including the Korean Unwed Mothers Families Association, hospitals, children's programs, elderly welfare initiatives, and disability support services.

IU has consistently made donations to commemorate meaningful occasions such as her birthday, debut anniversary, and holidays, reinforcing her reputation as one of South Korea's most generous celebrities. Her latest Chobok donation continues that tradition by helping vulnerable families enjoy a comforting meal during the peak of summer.
