IU Suspected of Having Other Intention Behind 1.25 Billion Donations for South Korean Fire Victims - Some Netters Start Questioning the Purpose Behind IU's Donations. ChildFund Korea Releases Statement to Defend the Singer. Next Fill In Their Statement.
Many Korean celebrities donated money to the victims of the great fires in Gangwon Provision, which devoured countless homes, leaving thousands of people displaced. One of them is IU, which donated 100 million Won or around Rp 1.25 billion through the ChildFund Korea agency.
But some netizens began to question the intentions behind IU's donation. They said that there were no primary schools in the affected area. They also said they had not seen the children affected in the news coverage. IU's contribution was deemed suspicious because he turned out to be a permanent donor of the institution.
In response, ChildFund Korea released a statement to defend IU. The following are the contents of their statement:
"Hello. This is ChildFund Korea. Because of concerns that sincere intentions (IU) have been broken, we want to let you know through the statement below, which we have confirmed."
"A day after Gangwon Province fire, April 5, ChildFund Korea visited the site to determine what the impact of the disaster affected the children we supported. In particular, we found that the four families we supported actually lost their homes in fires, and some another family was evacuated to a shelter for fear of further damage. "
"As is often covered by the media, IU's singer is a ChildFund Korean donor, but it's not the only organization he supports. He also donated to help develop his old school, Dongduk Girls High School, support center for the deaf, the Harapan Seungil Foundation, and various other NGOs (non-governmental organizations), share their property in the form of giving to others. "
"IU as well as many other donors contributed to our organization to help children and families who were traumatized by the sudden destruction caused by Gangwon Province fires."
"The lies and baseless information that is disseminated in online communities, regardless of the truth, increases the level of distrust in contributing and negatively influences the culture of giving. Ultimately, this can even lead to children not needing to receive the help they need."
"We ask for support and encouragement from everyone for children who have been through difficult times due to fires. ChildFund Korea thinks of children first. Thank you."
