Lee Hyori has kept true to her word as she has been revealed to have donated all proceeds from her essay book, ‘Closer‘, to the Korean Animal Rights Advocates (KARA).
Released on May 24th, the essay book has already gone into three printing processes within five days of its release. The book delves into a deeper look to Lee Hyori’s pet dog, Soonshim, her day-to-day life with her four cats, and her activities in animal protection.
As mentioned previously, fans will be able to read about her experiences with pets ever since she was the wee daughter of a barber’s to the top star she is today. Also included are photos taken by photographer Kim Tae Eun and Lee Hyori herself.
In the book, Hyori writes, “Animals are weaker than men. They need people to act on their behalf. My heart responded to that, and such is the reason why I’ve decided to choose the path I’ve taken. It is only now that I want to become a real icon. When I start promoting again soon, I’ll have to stand before the public. But when I do, I hope that my name isn’t being talked about for what they see on the outside, but for how I’m truly living. I’m happy with my life now. I want to be happy with more people.”
