Actress Kim Sun-a Publishes 'Samsoon' in Japan

Actress Kim Sun-a has published a book on her previous hit drama "My Name is Kim Sam-soon" in Japan.

The Japanese media reported Saturday that the book published by the Asahi daily publishing house is gaining popularity as it introduces the Korean drama in detail. 'Sam-soon' was especially popular among Korean women in their 20s and 30s.

The book explains Kim's surrounding characters in the drama and includes an interview with male lead Hyun Bin and a message by script writer Kim Do-woo. In the book, producer Kim Hyeon-cheol also compares Kim Sun-a with the character Sam-soon, whom she played.

Many Japanese women have said they empathize with the chapter of the book entitled "Life in Kim Sun-a Style" addressing the identity of 30-something single women.
