Koo Hye Sun's Novel Promotion

Gu Hye Sun, the actress-turned-writer reads her book in tears

With her recent published novel, “Tango”, the actress turned writer, Gu Hye Sun will be on KBS1 TV “Reading Discovery” program. She’ll be reading a few scripts from “Tango” as a part of her book promotion.

According to her, writing a novel for the first time is like doing some fermentation for foods. It takes time, and for her, to be able to write a novel, she has learned over time about putting thoughts together in writing as well as knowing her own writing style. She said, “As an actress, as a human being, people can do a lot of things if they put their mind into it. However, I had my worry about this book when I first started.” This expressed how much work and effort she has put in to this novel.

As for the book cover itself, Gu Hye Sun used her own illustration, as well as a few other illustrations throughout the novel. And in some bulletins, her readers put all her book’s inspiring quotes and they made comments also about her own illustrations which are inserted throughout the novel.

During the recording for the show, Gu Hye Sun read a passage about a mother’s love, and the studio got very quiet. Everyone cried silently with her as she put her emotions into the passage. She then mentioned that most of the well-known stars now, they got a lot of misconceptions. They had to overcome a lot of difficult moments during their pre-debut time. “But I believe my parents were the ones who gave me strength as they believed in me all the time.” Gu Hye Sun said, as she showed how much gratitude and love she got from her parents.
