Actress Song Hye-kyo continues to make steady strides, demonstrating her commitment through actions rather than mere words
Recently, she collaborated with Professor Seo Kyoung-duk to donate a large relief sculpture to the Taipei Korean School, as part of the “Campaign for Donating Independence Movement Figures’ Relief Works”.
The donation took place in commemoration of “Day of Patriotic Martyrs” honoring those who dedicated themselves and made sacrifices for the restoration of national sovereignty. The relief sculpture, depicting independence activist Cho Myung-ha, measures 80cm by 90cm and aims to shed light on lesser-known figures like independence activist Cho Myung-ha.
This marks Song Hye-kyo‘s seventh donation as part of the campaign, following contributions to memorial museums in the Netherlands, China… Professor Seo expressed hope that these efforts would increase awareness of overlooked independence activists.
Song Hye-kyo has been actively promoting Korean history abroad for 12 years, donating Korean-language guidebooks, signs and relief sculptures to 35 locations worldwide. Her collaboration with Professor Seo in 2012 at the New York Museum of Modern Art, where she sponsored the entire cost of a new Korean-language guidebook, is one notable instance.
Fellow actors showed warm support to Kim Hye-soo
The 44th Blue Dragon Film Awards were held at KBS Hall in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of November 25th. This award ceremony is also the last time as a MC of Kim Hye-soo, who has been hosting this event 30 times since 1993.

With regret for your departure, I sincerely support your future as well! Thank you for everything. In addition, I want to congratulate you. I love you. From Han Ji-min, a junior, sister and big fan.”
