IU has made a thoughtful arrangement to support those participating in a pivotal civic event.
Tomorrow, Koreans will gather to make their voices heard at the impeachment rally, and the K-pop idol and actress will offer comfort and nourishment to the attendees.
She shows support for fans attending President Yoon’s impeachment rally by covering meal costs.
On December 13, IU’s agency, EDAM Entertainment, announced through the fan cafe, “We hope that the hands of UAENA who are attending the gathering with light sticks in this cold weather will warm up a little. We have prepared snacks and hot packs. Please take care of your health and safety, and refer to the following details before visiting the designated stores.”
The event runs from December 14 until supplies run out. All rally attendees, regardless of official fan club membership, can receive food/drinks and hot packs on a first-come, first-served basis. Simply mention “UAENA” at participating stores.
Attendees can enjoy free food and hot packs at participating locations, including two cafes, one rice cake shop, and two noodle restaurants. Each location will provide 100 packs, available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The “Love Wins All” singer is receiving praise for her thoughtful gesture to support fans attending the impeachment rally against President Yoon Suk Yeol.
After martial law was declared on December 3, rallies have been ongoing around the National Assembly building in Yeouido, calling for the president’s impeachment.
IU’s generous gesture of providing prepaid meals comes at a crucial moment, as South Koreans gear up for a critical re-vote on President Yoon’s impeachment on December 14. Massive crowds are expected to gather at Yeouido to protest for President Yoon’s impeachment.
On the work front, IU has two exciting projects lined up including a Netflix drama “When Life Gives You Tangerines” and a modern monarchy drama with Byeon Woo Seok.
