#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.
#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.

A quote from Baek Sehee's (as translated by Anton Hur) "I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki" that says, "Light and darkness are part of the same thing." The quote is centered in the image with yin yang (i.e. taijitu symbol) on either side of the quote.
[MB QOTD]
Life is more beautiful because everyone has their death as a collateral from the moment they are born
just like a light can truly be a light only in darkness

Dysthymia, I got my official diagnosis at 25, like the author I had nourished the seeds since my teens. It was good to read about the same mental illness, as I found solace in the fact that I am not the only one with suicidal ideation.

From the book, I Want To Die But I Want To Eat Tteokbokki by Baek Sehee. This part discusses the term “Free Death” from Hong Seung-hee’s Suicide Diaries.
I do like the idea of replacing the word Suicide with “Free Death”.

Queria morrer, mas no céu não tem tteokbokki- #BaekSehee
É pequeno mas não é fácil de ler, porque dói. 😁
Acho que entrei no livro com a espectativa errada. Parti do ponto que acompanharia uma historia, assim como "Em prantos no mercado", erro meu.
