Gong Hyo-jin publishes environmental essays

Gong Hyo-jin (Pasta) joins the ranks of actor-authors by publishing an essay book, which will be released this month.

The collection is called Gong Book [공책], which is a play on her own surname and the word for “notebook,” and is themed around environmental topics. In it, Gong discusses her interest and thoughts about the environment, her everyday life, and personal insights.

She explained, “I’m not an environmental specialist, and compared to environmental activists I’m just a baby who’s barely taken her first step. What I want to say in this book is that even imperfect, little things, when if they’re done together with greater numbers, they can achieve great things. And that I may be imperfect, but the things I worry about and try to put into practice are things I want to do with more people. I wanted to talk about these things frankly.”

I… can’t say anything nice about the book cover, so I won’t say anything at all. But props to Gong for tackling at timely topic with her project. A lot of times these actor books seem like vanity projects — no judgment, just pointing out that they are often diary-like affairs about their personal lives, which can be a lot of fun for the actors’ fans, I’m sure. But I also appreciate when they have other things to say.

Gong’s book will be published on December 13.

Kudos to her new book project!

I'm such a huge fan of hyo-jin. She's definitely the most talented actress of her generation. So natural and charismatic and I love her megawatt smile. Hope to see her in a new drama soon.

"Natural and charismatic" is a great way to describe her. (I, too, am a big fan.) I hope she succeeds in raising consciousness and in inspiring others to do more to protect our precious planet.

book cover is a bit weird, but i suppose it fits in with gong hyo jin's offbeat vibe - i've always found her to be a little kooky but endearing.

I find her beautiful because she doesn't have that fake plastic look and her figure is willowy and the face so exquisitely gamine and she's talented and smart.
I like the daisy on the elephant's ear.

For me, there's a certain charm to the extreme kitschy-ness of the cover.
