Essay collection by Sean Jung Hye-young highlights 10 years of marriage

Singer Sean and actress Jung Hye-young

Singer Sean and actress Jung Hye-young’s second essay collection “Happier Today” is coming to local bookstores this Thursday.

Their previous essay collection in 2008, “Loving More Today,” was about the couple’s everyday lives and raising two kids, but “Happier Today” shares the more experienced stories of the couple’s 10 years of marriage, according to YG Entertainment.

“I’ve always wanted to be a singer since I was a kid. But now I have many thoughts in my head. I told [Sean] recently, ‘Your life is my new dream,’” said G-Dragon of Big Bang in recommending this book.
Sean and Jung donated 130 million won ($128,440) from their previous essay collection to the scholarship fund Jung Hye-young Scholarship Committee, which supports 27 college students.

Sean and Jung have donated 1 million one for the past six years to Holt Children’s Services Inc. and regularly participate in marathon events and fundraising concerts.
The couple will hold a press event on July 4 at Holt Children’s Services Inc. at 4 p.m. in Seoul, Mapo District.
