KARA’s Seungyeon donates her talent to the blind for audiobook, “Victor, The Fool”

Recently, KARA‘s Seungyeon reached her warm heart out to the visually impaired and personally participated in producing the Korean version audiobook of “Victor, The Fool (Spread Your Wings)”written by motivational speaker Joachim de Posada.

For the audiobook, Seungyeon was given the voice role of the main female character named Laura, who slowly falls in love with the main character, Victor, as they go on a search to find their inner-strength and break away from self-consciousness.

On October 20th, KARA’s agency stated, “Seungyeon has always shown interest in donating her talent and willingly agreed to the offer.”

“Victor, The Fool” is based on the true story of late honorary president of Mensa International, Victor Serebriakoff, who overcame his life barriers after 17 years of acting like a fool to become a now internationally prominent figure. In a similar situation, Victor’s school friend Laura also suffered self-conscious issues due to her “ugly” face and constantly fought her thoughts of getting plastic surgery. Through these two characters, the book illustrates what it means to build self-confidence and courage and conveys that everyone has the potential to change pain and suffering into hope and prospects.
