K-pop artist IU warmed the hearts of the public with generous donations she made in 2018.
On December 28, ChildFund Korea announced that IU donated 100 million won (approximately 89,442 dollars) to the organization to help out the children in need.
However, this is not the first time she surprised the public with a much-needed donation since she donated more than 400 million won (approximately 357,892 dollars) just this year.
Back in February, IU donated 25 million won (approximately 22,359 dollars) to her old high school to cover the entrance fee and the housing fee of five students who managed to get into a college but had a hard time spreading their wings because of their financial situations.
In March, IU reached out to KOREA ASSOCIATION OF THE DEAF and asked them to take care of the elderly who are suffering from hearing loss while donating 50 million won (approximately 44,713 dollars) to the organization.
Meanwhile, IU will wrap up her 10th debut anniversary concert 'dlwlrma' on January 5, 2019 with the concert in Jeju.
