Song Hye Kyo to Produce Tour Guides in Braille for the Independence Memorial Hall

Actress Song Hye Kyo is getting involved in helping blind people go around easily.

The actress and Professor Seo Kyung Duk, who provides Korean services at various museums like The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and others; will team up to create the “Independence Memorial Hall Tour Guides” to help those who can't see, be more informed of what the hall offers.

The professor revealed on March 27th, that Song Hye Kyo, which is currently acting a blind heiress, will finance the whole project herself, as he will direct and design the idea.

Song Hye Kyo's character in the SBS drama “That Winter The Wind Blows” has been a hit with the public, for her independence, and for being able to do things that most people think blind people can't do.

Professor Seo Kyung Duk commented, “Compared to overseas, the Independence Memorial Hall lacks Braille, therefore we are planning on creating 1,000 copies of Braille, keep producing them. If you see the statistics, a good number of blind people visit the Hall. We won't rent the book to them, but we will give them books.”

Song Hye Kyo also said, “Through my character, I was able to understand how hard life is for blind people. I hope this project will cheer their live a little bit.

The Independence Memorial Hall was opened on August 15, 1987 and contains many artifacts and documents that tells the history of how Korea, with the help of those passionate Independence fighters was able to become an independent nation.
