According to the Korea Organ and Tissue Donation Agency (Director Moon In-seong) on the 13th, Kim Sang-woo (31) donated his heart, lungs, liver, and both kidneys at Pusan National University Hospital last month on the 13th, saving five lives.

On the 10th of last month, Kim rented a bicycle in a park and fell, injuring his head.

Due to this accident, Kim lost consciousness and collapsed, was transported to the hospital for treatment, but ultimately fell into a brain-dead state.

Kim’s family decided to donate his organs, saying that if their son’s organs, who had many unfulfilled dreams, were still beating inside other people’s bodies, it would be comforting and mean he was still alive.

Kim’s older sister, Kim Soo-hyun, said, "Sang-woo, don’t be in pain and be happy in heaven. Others will remember you as a good person who gave love and warmth." She added, "I was glad and happy you were born into our family. I will always remember your smiling face. Until we meet again," leaving her final farewell.
