The braille library in Seongbuk recently revealed that actress Kim So Yeon had been quietly volunteering her time through a book reading service for the blind not just once but continuously, serving as a role model for everyone around her. 

A rep from the library revealed, "Kim So Yeon is consistently taking part in the book reading service.  Starting from last year, she already recorded five books, which is not an easy feat."

It was revealed that Kim So Yeon started this volunteer work in May of last year, reading aloud books and recording herself for blind people.  Most recently, she finished recording the children's book, "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane," which was most recently explored through SBS's 'You Who Came From The Stars,' and entered into the production stage of the CD.

It usually takes about three months for a volunteer to turn a book into a CD, normally one week for one chapter.  However, even with her busy schedule, she managed to record about two to three chapters per week, finishing the full recording within about forty to forty-five days!

The rep continued, "She records books more actively than the ordinary volunteers.  If she runs into the other volunteers at the recording site, she interacts with them.  The blind also enjoy this, so there is a positive result.

She is showing a passion in book reading.  As soon as she finished the recent tvN drama 'I Need Romance 3,' she came running to the recording studio.  She said she did not feel like she was volunteering, but was giving strength to others by reading for them.  I think she is going to participate even more persistently from now on."
