IU celebrated Children's Day by sending gifts to the child actors she co-starred with in the drama 'Otsukaresama.' On the 4th, child actor Kim Tae-yong left a message through his mother's social media account saying, 'Thank you so much, Ji-eun (IU's real name) sister. I really want to see you too. And I'm not an aunt, I'm a sister. I will work hard and definitely come to see you again. I love you, sister. Always stay healthy.' Kim Tae-yong, who played the child role of Oh Esung, smiled broadly while holding the gifts and letter IU sent him on Children's Day. Kim Tae-yong's mother expressed her gratitude, saying, 'Thank you so much, IU. Tae-yong is really very happy. Thanks to IU, he is growing up straight, sincere, and healthy. I sincerely thank you again.' The mother of Ahn Tae-rin, who played the childhood role of Geun-myeong in 'Otsukaresama,' also expressed her gratitude through her own social media, saying, 'What a big and broad-hearted person IU is, I can't even imagine. Thank you for sending a letter along with the Children's Day gift; mere words of thanks cannot convey my feelings. When I asked Tae-rin, 'Who do you want to see the most?' she answered, 'IU sunbaenim,' showing that she is also an unshakeable UAENA (IU's fan). Thank you for remembering and not forgetting us. We will grow up happy and straight and repay you.' The mother of Lee Cheong-moo, who played the childhood role of Yang Gwang-sik (Park Bo-gum), also wrote on social media, 'We, who are not good with crowds, were planning to spend a quiet Children's Day again this year, but thanks to IU, it became a truly moving and shocking Children's Day! How can you do such a thing? Are you an angel... or AI?? It's amazing and grateful that you remember Cheong-moo, and I think it's something that ordinary people can't do no matter how much I think about it.' She added, 'IU! Thank you so much. Cheong-moo says, 'I want to be a caring person like this!' Good influence. Thank you. We are all fans of 'The Great Lady of the 21st Century' and are enjoying it.' Previously, IU had also sent gifts to the child actors from 'Otsukaresama' for Christmas and Children's Day. In particular, she supported Kim Tae-yong for her first award ceremony with dresses, hair, and makeup, and sent a taiyaki catering truck to Shin Che-rin's last set filming. IU, who has consistently donated under the name 'IUAENA,' combining her name with her fans' UAENA during significant times like her debut anniversary, birthday, and year-end, donated 50 million won (about 500,000 yen) each to the Korean Child Welfare Association and the National Association of Regional Child Centers, totaling 100 million won (about 1 million yen) this year in celebration of Children's Day.
