IU mentioned that her mother had a strong influence on her continuous good deeds.

On May 27th, IU talked with several media outlets at the 75th Cannes Film Festival, which was hosted at Le Majestic in Cannes, France.

On this day, IU was asked what motivates her to donate to those in need. Because IU has a positive influence by donating large quantities of money to neighbors in need.

Regarding this, IU stated that it was due of her mother, who advised her to give when she was young.

"When I was young, my mum advised me to help others if I had anything to do," she explained, "and at the time, I was young and thought, 'Do I have to donate?' I learnt how to donate through my mom, and I try to act like my mom," she said, explaining why she helps people in need.

IU, who began sharing by donating the revenues of her first fan meetup, has regularly donated "4 billion won" to the present by donating to the low-income and socially poor.

IU recently took the lead in charitable giving by donating 100 million won and 210 million won on Children's Day and her birthday, respectively.

Compliments are pouring in for IU, who not only has beauty and skills, but also a kind heart and a desire to spread positive influence.

IU stated that while filming "Broker," she noticed an increase in interest in single mothers who are socially disadvantaged.

"I thought to myself that I was the only one who thought it was difficult," IU remarked. "Perhaps there is still a bias towards single mothers; they're incredibly brave individuals, and I dare to think that it would be good to have a family in various forms."

Meanwhile, IU is gearing up for the June 8th release of Hirokazu Koreeda's film "Broker."

"Broker" is a film that depicts the surprising and unique path of those who have a connection centered on a baby box.

IU, who plays a single mother named So Yeong in the film, recently visited the 75th Cannes Film Festival and received a lot of attention.

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
