Seohyun is not only pretty on the outside, but on the inside, she is even prettier.

On August 3rd, Seohyun visited former professional basketball coach, Park SeungIl who is fighting with Lou Gehrig’s Disease at the hospital and took some photos together for remembrance.

After Seohyun’s visit, Park SeungIl wrote an entry in his personal blog entitled ‘Together with Soshi’s maknae and her mother…’ and along with the post, he attached photos taken during their visit. Seohyun presented the Deluxe Edition of SNSD’s 1st Japanese Album ‘Girls’ Generation’ autographed by the members and a DVD player as gifts to Coach Park SeungIl.

As they took pictures together, the delightful feeling can somehow be seen from Coach Park’s face. There is indeed a special bond between SNSD and Park SeungIl. Last month, Park SeungIl visited the girls during their 2nd solo concert in Seoul and during the visit, he took pictures with all the girls for remembrance. Also, a few months back, Sooyoung and actress Shin SeKyung visited Park SeungIl at the hospital and gave him a kiss, much to the envy of the male fans.

Netizens who saw the pictures commented, “SNSD members are indeed angels”, “Seohyun is an angel who has a pretty face and heart”, “They have such beauties in them, how can fans not like them so much?”, etc

Sooyoung shed tears while conveying the story of Park Seungil, a former basketball coach who is currently fighting the Lou Gehrig’s disease. According to kidshealth.org:

“Lou Gehrig’s disease damages motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Motor neurons are
nerve cells that control muscle movement. Upper motor neurons send messages from the brain to the spinal cord, and lower motor neurons send messages from the spinal cord to the muscles. Motor neurons are an important part of the body’s neuromuscular system.”

On SBS ‘Strong Heart’ aired on December 7th, Sooyoung said, “SNSD went to visit Park Seungil, a former basketball coach who is suffering from the Lou Gehrig’s disease”.

She added, “His current girlfriend is helping to nurse him. She is Park Seungil’s first love. They were destined to be together even after Park Seungil went abroad to study, became a basketball coach and later married someone else. After he was diagnosed with the disease, Park Seungil decided to file for a divorce. After that, his current girlfriend looked for him and managed to find him. When they finally met, Park Seungil asked ‘Would you be with me?’. She agreed and she has been looking after Park Seungil for 5 years now”.

After listening to Sooyoung’s touching story netizens commented:

-”From today onwards, I’m a fan of Sooyoung”
-”Sooyoung not only has a pretty face but also a pretty heart”
-”Sooyoung is a warm person”
