The actions of stars making the end of 2025 warmer are receiving applause and attention from many.

◆ IU, Once Again Appears as 'Santa IU' This Year Singer and actress IU has once again practiced warm sharing for the underprivileged as the year-end approaches. According to her agency on the 31st, IU donated a total of 200 million won to the Korean Unwed Mothers Families Association, the Child Rights Protection Agency, Snail of Love, and the Woo Yang Foundation, each receiving 50 million won under the name 'IUana', which combines her stage name and fandom name. This donation will be used to support single-mother families, initial costs for youth preparing for independence, surgeries and hearing aids for the hearing impaired, and food support for elderly people at risk of hunger during winter. Throughout this year, IU has continued to make large donations on meaningful days such as supporting wildfire victims, Children's Day, and her debut anniversary, finishing the year warmly while maintaining her positive influence despite her busy schedule filming the upcoming MBC drama '21st Century Great Lady'.

◆ Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin Couple, Bringing Hope to Patients The couple Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin also joined the year-end donation movement, adding warmth. On the 30th, Hyun Bin's agency VAST Entertainment announced that the two donated 200 million won to Samsung Medical Center. The donated funds will be used for the treatment of pediatric and adolescent patients, as well as low-income adult patients experiencing economic difficulties. The couple expressed their heartfelt wish, saying, "We hope this helps the patients and their families a little." Earlier this year, they also donated 150 million won each to Seoul Asan Medical Center and Samsung Medical Center, consistently practicing sharing activities for those in medical blind spots every year, demonstrating their sense of nobility and obligation.

◆ 'Newlywed' Kim Woo-bin Becomes Santa for Children On the 20th, 'newlywed' Kim Woo-bin, who tied the knot with actress Shin Min-a, transformed into a surprise Santa for children. Kim Woo-bin visited the pediatric ward of Seoul Asan Medical Center, which he has been sponsoring for four years, and delivered gifts such as drawing sets and scarves to over 200 hospitalized children, along with a handwritten letter saying, "I hope miracles happen." This news was shared through social media posts by the families of the patients, adding to the touching moment. Known as a representative angel of donations in the entertainment industry, Kim Woo-bin, even before his wedding, donated a total of 300 million won to the Fire Disaster Foundation with his wife Shin Min-a, sublimating the joy of their new beginning into sharing. His sincere actions, with a cumulative donation amount exceeding 1.2 billion won, continue unchanged after marriage.
