They added, "We will be financially supporting children in low income families with living expenses and college tuitions." Regarding this donation, IU's management agency commented, "A lot of fans have made donations to various organizations under IU's name in the past. In order to pay back the kindness to UAENA, IU decided to make donation under UAENA's name as well. She's just glad to be part of this good opportunity." According to ChildFund Korea, this will mark IU's fourth donation.

For Children's Day in 2015 and this year, IU donated 100 million won each.
