Actor Park makes literary debut

Actor Park Shin-yang, the "lover of Paris," made a literary debut through his novel "Lovers."

Matching the actor`s nickname earned through last year`s popular SBS TV series "Lovers of Paris," Park`s first novel unfolds in the romantic French capital city.

In Park`s novel, two lovers share an everlasting love which begins in Paris, and continues in Seoul years later. The beautiful love story will also move readers visually, as Park appears as the hero of the novel through several photographs included in the book.

The 37-year-old actor is preparing a three-dimensional project with his novel by making the romantic love story into a short movie and a music video.

Park is to become the first Korean Wave actor to lead the popularity through literature, as the novel also awaits publication in Japan.

Published by Joongang M&B, "Lovers" is currently on sale at local bookstores for 12,000 won.
