Best-selling South Korean author Baek Se-hee passed away aged 35 on Thursday. She is best known for her memoir ‘I Want to Die But I Want To Eat Tteokbokki’ (2018) and the sequel ‘I Want To Die But I Still Want To Eat Tteokbokki’ (2024). While the cause of her demise was not immediately known, some reports said that she didn’t regain consciousness after brain death.<\/p>\n

It was later revealed that she led by example by ensuring her organs were donated. According to the Korea Organ Donation Agency, Baek Se-hee’s heart, lungs, liver, and both kidneys were recovered at National Health Insurance Service Ilsan Hospital following her demise. She was born in the same hospital in Gyeonggi Province, north of Seoul, reports added.<\/p>\n

“Older sister, who shared hearts with people through writing. Knowing your kind heart that loved much and could not hate anyone, now rest comfortably in the sky. I love you so much,” read her sibling’s parting note, which was released by the hospital. Baek was the eldest among three children.<\/p>\n

In one of her recent public events, the author had reportedly opened up about her struggles with dysthymia, a mild but persistent depression, and how she coped.<\/p>\n

Baek Se-hee was a graduate in creative writing and worked at a publishing house for five years. The turning point came when the young marketing professional decided to see a psychiatrist who was okay with their sessions being recorded. As a part of her healing, she turned her interactions at the counselling centre into a book.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
