Song Hye Kyo is proud of her nation's culture and history. That's why the talented and beautiful star of "That Winter The Wind Blows" and "Full House" has quietly been doing her part to spread an understanding of Korean culture to other countries.

She recently sponsored the creation of a bronze carving that was donated to the Yi Jun Peace Museum in The Hague in The Netherlands.

Yi Jun and two other Korean delegates Yi Sang Sol and Yi Wi Jong were sent to a peace conference in The Hague in 1907 to declare that Korea was an independent country and that Japan's rule should be considered illegal. Due to Japanese pressure, the delegates were rejected. A few days later Lee was found dead in his room at the Hotel DeJong, which later became the site of the museum.

"I hope that this art piece will help attract tourists to the Yi Jun Peace Museum," said Song.

The four by six foot carving was based on a photo of the delegates posing in the hall. It was hung this week to commemorate Korean Independence Day.

"This is my second time participating in such an event overseas," said Song. "I hope this donation will help to ensure that more local and foreign tourists come to visit this place and learn more about our rich history."

Song worked with Professor Seo Kyung Suk of Sungsin University on this and other related projects. Seo traveled to The Hague to oversee the donation and met with the museum's managers.

They have worked together on several other projects. Together they provided Korean brochures to the New York Metropolitan Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts In Boston. Song also contributed a touch screen player to the Arts of Korea gallery at the Museum of Fine Arts. The touch screen features short videos showing traditional Korean ceramic techniques.

Song is also working on providing Korean language services to museums in Europe, including the Tate Modern in London. She also helped launch a Korean culture application for smart phones called Dooroo Dooroo. The app features historic landmarks in China once owned by the Korean government in exile during Japanese rule. The Independence Hall of Korea contributed contents for the app.

Song's agency said that the more the actress travels for work, the more inspired she is to share her culture.

"She's becoming more aware of the importance of imparting Korean culture abroad," said a representative of her agency.
