IU's Donations Influenced by Her Role in the Drama

Singer/actress IU made a donation to an organization for people who are hard of hearing and learning languages. 

On March 20, Korea Association of the Deaf has announced that IU made a donation worth of 50 million won (approximately 47,000 dollars).

A staff of the association noted, "In recent days, IU has learned sign language, and she got to know people who have difficulties in hearing and learning languages."

The staff continued, "IU wanted to help them out, and she found the volunteer center run by our association."

Since she acknowledged the poor environment for the elders struggling in hearing and learning languages, IU asked the association to give them more support with her donation.

IU's interest in the people hard of hearing and learning languages seems to be influenced by her upcoming drama 'My Mister' (literal translation).In the drama, IU plays the female protagonist named Lee Ji An who has lived in a depressing reality with her grandmother struggling to hear and learn languages.

For her role, IU learned sign language and could naturally get to know the group of people.IU is widely known to make donations for various organizations, and her constant, considerate demeanor amazes the public.

Meanwhile, IU's upcoming drama 'My Mister' draws a story of 'Daddy-Long-Legs' between a middle-aged man and a girl with experiences full of obstacles.The drama airs its first episode today.
