Entertainer Harisu, who was recently admitted to Jangan University's Entertainment Department with her husband Mickey Jung, will publish her collection of essays entitled 'Harisu Beauty' in Japan in late March.
The essay collection is a comprehensive guide to beauty, diet and fashion and contains photos of Ha shot by Japanese photographer Yamagishi Shin, who visited Korea in December last year.
Yamagishi said he was fascinated by her determination to pursue her desires. He said the four-day photo shoot with Harisu in Seoul was a hectic experience but that he thoroughly enjoyed himself.
Fans of Harisu are already excited about the pending release of her essay collection and have been leaving messages of support on her online fanclub.

Harisu, a celebrity transexual singer and actress, had tears in her eyes last Saturday when she walked down the aisle. It was a dream-come-true day for Ha, who chose to change her sex in 1995. She asked her surgeon, Kim Seok-gwon, who was in charge of the operation, to officiate at the wedding ceremony.
Ha, 32, had a press conference before the wedding. "I want to be a good wife, who cooks well", she said. "I want to be sexy but also a friend to my husband". Ha said she plans to adopt two boys and two girls. "I wanted to adopt 10 kids, but my friends talked me out of the idea", Ha said.

Hit American television dramas are now being challenged by their Korean counterparts. Recently, a string of Korean dramas that include characters like federal investigators, police chiefs and emergency room doctors are appearing one by one. The dramas, being compared to the American dramas they modeled their plots around, are stirring up controversy and generating both negative and positive feedback.
On the one hand, some viewers say that these dramas present a fresh and innovative format.
Others however, are criticizing the producers saying they are ripping off ideas and that these dramas lack quality. The producers defend themselves by saying that as Hollywood has been making dramas for decades, the subject matter and formats are bound to overlap with Korean dramas. They also said that the important thing to look for in these dramas is how they adapt American elements to fit Korea.
