The book review was part of an interview 기사 that Munhwa news had with Seohyun prior to the Girls' Taiwan leg of their 2nd Girls' Generation Asian Tour.
The book in question?It's none other than "Writing Hope With Eyes" 의해 농구 player Park Seungil.
In it,the once aspiring Korean basketballl 별, 스타 and coach details that struggles he faced when he contracted Lou Gehrig's Disease in the prime of his life and career.Heart-wrenching and inspiring at the same time,the book tells a tale of perseverance and hope on the part of Park Seungil as he comes to terms with his disease condition and his future life goals,in the light of this often fatal disease.
In addition to the book review,Seohyun also shed a little light on the 읽기 habits of the 9 ladies and even a little tidbit on how she felt when she finally had a chance to meet her lifelong idol face-to-face(can 당신 quess who^^?).
With interests and aspirations like these,namely,to seek to continue to improve themselves,regardless of the time constraints imposed on them 의해 their hectic performance schedules,it is little wonder that the 9 ladies have 팬 from all age groups,having set themselves up as good examples for all to follow :D.
The following is the translated transcript of the news article.Enjoy!
"Hello.This is Girls' Generation's maknae,Seohyun.With Chuseok coming up,we [Girls' Generation] will be holding a 음악회, 콘서트 from the 9th to the 11th in Taiwan to spread K-POP overseas.Last week,we spread K-POP through a large 음악회, 콘서트 in front of 150,000 people at the Tokyo Dome in Japan.
We are also planning on holding a 심장 fluttering,dream-like 음악회, 콘서트 in October at Madison Square Garden in New York City.Because it's a 음악회, 콘서트 that we will be having with 팬 from all over the world,I'm always nervous.My body is tired,but I am happy because I enjoy stages that make my 심장 flutter.
Within our tight 음악회, 콘서트 schedule,there is a book that I always look for.It is "Writing Hope With Eyes" 의해 농구 player Park Seungil.
The book is about Park Seungil being diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease and becoming bedridden after being named "Korea's youngest 농구 coach." It shows how he looked to hope despite the difficult atmosphere he was in.It is a 심장 wrenching and touching book that shows Park Seungil's pride and efforts of living 의해 doing his best.I recommend this book as I felt that it will give some insight to those who live busy lives without any time to relax,as well as touch their hearts.I am sure that his records of fighting this disease in particular will comfort those waiting for hope.
Along with the rest of Girls' Generation's members,I read 책 between recording and concerts.All of us read,and we always carry one 또는 two 책 in our bags.Because I like reading,I receive many 책 as gifts from fans,so whether I'm in the plane 또는 in a car,I read often.I even had an overwhelming moment when I met the person I respect the most,the Secretary-General of the United Nations,Ban Ki-Moon.Through 책 I was able to meet people who gives hope and strength,and I think I was able to gain that strength and hope from them.
