IU has been rejecting gifts from fans, even telling them directly not to buy gifts for her. In an interview, IU mentioned that she is now wealthy, so she no longer needs to accept gifts.

5. SHINee Taemin
In 2013, Lee Tae-min published a letter on his official website. He said he often receives gifts from fans and is grateful for it, but in his letter he said he would prefer to pass on that love to those in need. In this way, the gift is more meaningful to him.
