NCT's Jaemin is warming hearts this Christmas Eve with a generous donation that proves he’s as kind as he is talented!

On December 24, the Korean Committee for UNICEF shared the exciting news: Jaemin donated 100 million KRW (around $75,000 USD) under the name of his fan club, "NCTzen DREAM." The donation aims to support children across the world who are facing tough winters due to war and natural disasters.

The funds come from the proceeds of Jaemin’s first solo photo exhibition, NARCISSISM – JAEMIN 1st EXHIBITION, which was held in June. The framed photos sold during the event not only showcased Jaemin’s artistic side but also became a way for him and his fans to give back.

This isn’t the first time Jaemin has shown his caring side. Back in 2018, he visited Vietnam to support music education programs for children in need as part of a partnership between SM Entertainment and UNICEF. For nearly a decade, SM Entertainment has been working with UNICEF to help disadvantaged children in Vietnam and the Philippines.

Jaemin’s heartfelt gesture is even more special because he made the donation under his fans’ name. He shared, “I wanted to do something meaningful with my fans to give back for their precious love. I hope this can help even a little in bringing a warm year-end to every child.”

The Secretary-General of the Korean Committee for UNICEF, Jo Mi-jin, also expressed deep gratitude, saying, “We sincerely thank Jaemin and his fans for sending a special gift to children during the year-end season. The funds will be used carefully to help children facing harsh winters caused by war, disasters, and poverty.”

Jaemin’s thoughtful donation is a beautiful example of how idols and fans can come together to make a real difference. It’s clear that NCTzens and their beloved Jaemin share not only love for music but also a desire to spread kindness around the world.

IU recently revealed that she watched her own concert film in a public theater, but shockingly, no one recognized her—even when she dropped a hint!

On February 27, a new video featuring IU was released, showing her inside a car on her way to Daejeon.

She excitedly shared, “This is a surprise stage greeting for UAENA! I picked this location through a ladder game when I did stage greetings.”

Previously, IU had let fate decide which city she would visit after her stage greetings. She happily said, “There are UAENAs everywhere I go. Wherever I go, it's a flowery path.” The game ultimately led her to Daejeon.

IU originally hoped to explore the city, saying, “I wanted to visit Daejeon's pride, Sung Sim Dang, and walk around, but my team said it wouldn’t be possible. The lines are too long, and it’s freezing outside.” She sighed, adding, “So, things turned out this way.”

Dressed up for the occasion, IU smiled, saying, “I don’t get to meet UAENAs in Daejeon often, so I wanted to make a surprise appearance looking my best.”

She also joked about enjoying surprise events, adding, “As long as Hanteo oppa drives me safely, I’m happy.”

But what really caught fans' attention was IU’s unexpected confession—she had secretly watched her concert film in a theater, but no one noticed her! “No one recognized me at all. There weren’t that many people, and it was a weekday… but still! I even gave a hint!” she said, sounding both amused and surprised.

Later, when IU finally appeared at the theater, her fans were overwhelmed with emotion. Some even burst into tears, prompting her to gently say, “You really didn’t expect me to come, right?”

After wrapping up her stage greeting, IU laughed at herself, saying, “Wait, did I just do a 40-minute one-woman show? I must have talked so much.”

On her way back to Seoul, IU reflected on the day, sharing, “It was so cold today. I shook hands with all the UAENAs. My hands are usually cold, and since the weather was freezing, I think I made a lot of people’s hands cold, too. But after touching so many warm hands, mine became warm, too. I still haven’t washed them.”

Her love for her fans truly knows no bounds!
