The K-Pop industry is increasingly becoming more successful in recent years. Idols and celebrities, like IU, are some of the contributing factors to this dynamic.
As they continue to showcase their talents and skills before their global audience, the public becomes more invested in them. In the case of IU, she has been in the industry for more than a decade now, and she has her fans and followers to thank for it.
Apart from her impressive music releases and performances, her supporters seemingly admire her, as well, because of her personality and character. As stated, many people always applaud her for her generosity and kind heart.
AllKpop released a report stating that a community of netizens has always talked about how IU spends her money, implying how generous she is. Following her recent activities, the said discussion is, reportedly, gaining more attention these past few days.
Based on the assertions, the LILAC artist spends tons of fortune by giving back to her staff, family, friends, colleagues, fans, and even to the public. She always sends luxurious gifts to many individuals.
The publication listed some examples showing how IU spends and shares her fortune. Apart from providing gifts and personally prepared meals, she, also, sends snacks to foundations and institutions.
There was even a time in the past when she gifted the members of TWICE new iPhones and Gucci rings. The K-Pop star previously sent G-Dragon a gift, as well, before his enlistment.
HelloKpop previously released a similar article, revealing the "Lilac" singer's charitable activities. Amid the pandemic crisis, she donated roughly $30,000 to the city of Gwacheon.
IU, also, shared nearly $100,000 to Good Neighbors in 2020. Moreover, she has an annual donation to Green Umbrella Children's Foundation.
South China Morning Post previously reported that IU did not grow up with immense financial stability. She and her family are said to have debts in the past, particularly before entering the world of celebrities.
But, despite all the financial hardships, these did not stop her from achieving her dreams. The publication noted that it was not always easy for IU when she started in South Korean entertainment.
As reported, she failed more than 20 auditions in two years. She, also, experienced scams from fake agencies before landing her big break in 2008.
Since then, IU has continued to reach heights in her career in both K-Pop and K-Drama industries. To date, she, reportedly, has $28 million, and she appears to be comfortable sharing this with everyone.
