Singer-actress IU is continuing her charitable streak.

가수 겸 배우 아이유가 자선 행보를 이어가고 있다.


The star donated about 4,600 cooling vests ― together worth 100 million won ($84,000) ― for nurses at the frontline of COVID-19, according to the Korean Nurses Association, Monday. The association added that IU made the contribution through the charity organization Community Chest of Korea.

월요일 대한간호협회에 따르면 아이유는 코로나19 최전선에 있는 간호사들을 위해 1억 원 상당의 얼음 조끼 4,600벌을 기부했다. 협회는 아이유가 자선단체인 사랑의 열매 사회복지공동모금회를 통해 이를 기증했다고 전했다.


The vests will be sent to nurses at screening centers and medical institutions nationwide, who have been combating COVID-19 amid sweltering summer heat.

이 얼음 조끼는 한여름 무더위 속에서 코로나19와 싸워온 전국 선별진료소와 의료기관의 간호사들에게 보내질 예정이다.


It is not the first time IU has donated for a good cause. In February, she contributed 100 million won to the Korean Medical Association and the Good Neighbors charity, respectively, to support the country's virus fight.

아이유가 선의를 위해 기부를 한 것은 이번이 처음이 아니다. 지난 2월, 그녀는 한국의 바이러스 퇴치를 지원하기 위해 대한의사협회와 굿네이버스에 각각 1억원을 기부했다.


IU, whose real name is Lee Ji-eun, made her singing debut in 2008 with the mini-album "Lost and Found" and released a string of hits including "Good Day" (2010) and "Palette" (2017). She also has been forging an acting career, starring in TV series including "Hotel del Luna" (2019).

아이유(본명: 이지은)는 2008년 미니앨범 'Lost and Found'로 가요계에 데뷔해 '좋은 날'(2010)과 '팔레트'(2017) 등 히트곡을 잇달아 발표했다. 그녀는 또한 ‘호텔 델 루나'(2019) 등 여러 TV 드라마에 출연하며 연기 경력을 쌓아왔다.
