Two stars from the Republic of Korea (RoK), Song Seung-hun and Kim
Tae-hee, will come to Vietnam to advertise their newly released TV
series entitled My Princess and also raise funds for needy children in
the country.
They will arrive in Vietnam tomorrow and
meet fans to introduce Korean history and culture, their acting
experience, a behind-the-scenes look at My Princess and answer questions
of the local media.
My Princess will be aired in
Vietnam on SCTV17 this month. The romantic comedy, which premiered in
the RoK in May, is a love story between an ordinary college student
named Lee Seol (Kim Tae-hee) who one day discovers she's a princess and
Park Hae-young (Song Seung-hun) who is put in charge of educating her on
proper etiquette.
The Korean stars will also participate
in a fund raising ceremony held by the National Fund for Vietnamese
Children, where they will auction some costumes and props used in My
Princess and donate the profits to charity.
Vietnamese celebrities such as pop singer My Tam and model-actress Ngo Thanh Van will also participate in the ceremony.
Born in 1980, Kim is famous in the RoK for her well-educated background
and natural beauty. She graduated from Seoul National University
with a major in Fashion Design.
Starting her career as a
model and later actress in television commercials, she rose to fame
after her role as Han Yoo-ri in the drama series Stairway to Heaven.
Throughout her career, Kim has won many awards including the Excellence
Award for Actresses, granted by the Korean Broadcasting System, for her
role as Choi Seung-hee in Iris in 2009.
Song was born in 1976 and started his career as a model in 1995, after which he began acting in sitcoms and TV dramas in 1996.
In 2009, he was given an award in the Talent Division at the 17th Korean Culture Entertainment Awards.
The two stars' trip to Vietnam and the relating events are sponsored by Coway, a trademark of the RoK household goods. /.
