Song Joong-ki's equally popular partner in Descendants of the Sun, Song Hye-kyo, just made a generous donation during the National Liberation Day of Korea which made her even closer to the masses. Beauty, as she is popularly known due to the success of her drama and her love team with Big Boss Song Joong-ki, proved that she's not just another pretty face. The well-known and respected drama actress has shown her patriotism as she has showered the nation with various gifts and acts of service throughout her whole acting career.

Song Hye-kyo gave away a total of 10,000 brochures about the historical Korean Independence movement that happened in the Utoro Village of Japan. This was made possible with the help of Professor Seo Kyung Duk of Sungshin Women's University. The brochures will be freely used by the visitors to the site in order to spread awareness about Korea's history all around the world.

This is not the only time that Song Hye-kyo has shown her love for the country. Last year's donation involved financially supporting a Korean Methodist Church and Institute based in New York. Professor Seo was the one who made the other historical brochures.

According to the professor, "More and more Koreans are visiting New York each year, but most of them don't know that there is a historic site for the Korean independence movement there. I made the brochures out of a desire to help others learn about the church's history and significance."

And of course, the professor found a reliable helper in Song Hye-kyo.

The actress shared the professor's sentiments of not seeing Korean historical brochures in popular sites all over the globe while Chinese and Japanese fliers are numerous. They didn't only partner here, but also planned several projects in China -- specifically in Shanghai, Chongqing, Hanzhou and Harbin. Moreover, a project done Netherlands further proved how much they adore their country.

Aside from these displays of patriotism, Song Hye-kyo became a controversial figure earlier this year because of her rejection of Mitsubishi's offer. It was reportedly said that the big car company in Japan is facing accusations regarding forced labor in Japan's imperial period. The sought-after model commented, "Mitsubishi hasn't taken responsibility for their past actions yet, right? That means I am not going to be modeling for them."

The statement sparked even greater respect for this one-of-a-kind actress.
