A man in his 30s, an office worker who collapsed on the street and fell into brain death, saved three precious lives through organ donation before passing away.

The Korea Organ and Tissue Donation Agency announced on the 23rd that the late Moonsoo Kim, aged 34, donated his heart and both kidneys at Ajou University Hospital last month before passing away.

In August, he was found collapsed while walking on the street and was transported to the hospital by a passerby, but he never regained consciousness.

According to his family, they decided on organ donation with the hope that, even after his untimely passing, Kim could continue to live on in others.

His mother said, "When I mentioned to the family that I wanted to donate my organs, others were opposed, but Moonsoo said it was a good thing because it saves lives. Looking back now, I think organ donation was Moonsoo's final wish."

Born in Busan as the eldest of one son and one daughter, Kim is remembered by his family as a kind and upright person with a warm heart who always reached out first to those in need.

During his school days, he was bright and proactive, serving as both student council president and class president, and after graduating from the Department of Computer Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University, he worked at a company specializing in automotive voice artificial intelligence (AI).

His mother delivered her final farewell, saying, "There was never a moment when I did not love you. I hope you can do everything you wish in heaven."
