Eugene

Eugene, a former member of K-pop girl band S.E.S, will donate all the earnings from the newly published children's book she translated into Korean to charity.

"Eugene translated and published a children's book called ‘The Night World' whose original version was written in English," C9 Entertainment, Eugene's management company, said. "She plans to donate all her earnings made from the book to share the dreams and hopes of children who never lose their laughter even in harsh conditions."

Eugene spent her teenage years in Guam and is fluent in English.

"The Night World," written by Caldecott Medal winner Mordicai Gerstein, is about the secrets of the night world and the joys of the sunrise.

The book was initially published on June 16, 2015.

The translated version can be bought at bookstores or online.
