Australia saw the opening of a Korean library on 15th May sponsored by actress Moon Geun Young; it has now belatedly released information about it. Moon Geun Young has been sponsoring the Lindfield Korean School in Sydney for the last four years. She also donated over 10,000 books for Korean students learning the language at over 40 Korean schools scattered across the city. However, the number of books increased so much that it became impossible to manage it, so Moon donated an additional 100 million Wons (US$1=W1,246) towards the library. She also came down under herself to teach Korean for a day! The school was reported as saying the students there did not have a chance to read anything other than textbooks to learn Korean, so Moon's sponsorship has been of great help to them. What good heart she has. I wish I got some Korean lessons from Moon Geun Young! Many thanks to Chosun Ilbo and kimmey_09 for the tip!
