Baek Se-hee, the South Korean author whose candid memoir I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki helped bring conversations about depression and therapy into the mainstream, has died at the age of 35.
Her death was confirmed by the Korea Organ and Tissue Donation Agency on Friday, which said in a statement that she had donated her heart, lungs, liver, and both kidneys at the National Health Insurance Service Ilsan Hospital in Gyeonggi Province, north of capital Seoul, saving five lives.
