Ugh. @kdramanews.bsky.social is right. 1990 was part of a larger trend, but it was also the nadir of female births compared to male births in South Korea. As this chart shows, in the last year of the horse, there were 116.5 births of boys registered for every 100 girls. 😩

#BaekSeHee pays attention to ordinary details of life (food, work, relationships) as anchors amid emotional struggle. Her books helped normalize discussions about depression in South Korea and internationally, particularly among younger readers navigating similar experiences.

#BaekSeHee ‘s legacy consists in a radical honesty about mental health, particularly chronic depression, a taboo subject in SK society.

Her conversational style blends memoir, self-help, and therapeutic dialogue.

#BaekSeHeedied on October 16, 2025 in a hospital in Goyang. In a final act of generosity, she donated multiple organs, saving the lives of five people.

Although her career was brief, her work continues to be widely read for its vulnerability, broadening public conversations about mental health.

The book became a major bestseller in South Korea and internationally, eventually selling over a million copies and being translated into more than twenty languages.

She followed it with the sequel #IWantToDieButIStillWantToEat Tteokbokki, which continued her reflections on therapy and healing.

Her debut memoir, #IWantToDieButIWantToEatTteokbokki, combines transcripts of therapy sessions with personal essays about anxiety, self-doubt, and the paradoxical coexistence of despair and ordinary desires; symbolized by her craving for the Korean comfort food tteokbokki.

#BaekSeHee began documenting her therapy experiences on a personal blog. Encouraged by readers who related to her reflections, she transformed those conversations with her psychiatrist into a book.

After graduating, #BaekSeHee worked for about five years at a publishing company as a social media or marketing professional. During this period she began experiencing dysthymia, a chronic form of depression, and sought long-term psychiatric treatment.

Cliche or classic? How about both! #BoyfriendOnDemand

If I’ve learned one thing from #kdrama, it’s that true love involves yanking distracted people out of the way of oncoming traffic.
