"Encounter" actress Song Hye Kyo continues to make donations alongside Sungshin Womens' University's professor Seo Kyung Duk!
Song Hye Kyo and Professor Seo Kyung Duk's Worthwhile Collaboration
Song Hye Kyo is recognized for her frequent and large social donations. A source from Song Hye Kyo's agency once shared in an interview that since the actress has traveled extensively for work, she became mindful of the importance for tourists to read the information in their own language.
So, with her partnership with Professor Seo Kyung Duk of Sungshin Women's University, they decided to provide brochures of information related to various historic Korean sites and museums around the world.
Professor Seo Kyung Duk commended the actress for supporting her country in her own ways.
The actress and professor have reportedly donated 10,000 guidebooks to the Korean Cultural Center, Los Angeles. This donation was done as part of the "Meet Our Country's History Abroad" series and to honor the Samil (March 1) Independence Movement, also known as the Manse Demonstrations.
This is the fifth time that Song Hye Kyo participated in the event as she also donated similar guidebooks to the cities of Shanghai, Tokyo, Paris, and more. The said guidebooks are created for both Korean and English users that introduce the history of the independence movement in Los Angeles.

Other things included in the guidebook are information about the Korea National Association Memorial Hall, the Ahn Chang Ho family house, the place in LA that is related to Ahn Chang Ho, Rosedale Memorial Park, and more.
The professor expressed his thoughts and said that because of the Hallyu influence worldwide, foreigners are becoming more interested in Korean culture and its history.
Professor Seo Kyung Duk added that he hopes that this will help give more information to Korean living overseas and the international students of the history of the independence movement in LA. And because of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the situation of the independence movement sites that remain overseas is not very good. It is high time for the general public to pay more attention to this.
Song Hye Kyo also gives assistance to Korean education by helping provide Korean language services to famous museums around the world.
