Maybe some Korean anon can fill us in on her cultural impact and what her surprise and unforeseen passing means for the literary world we all cherish and love?
Sad. Suicide?
>>24807410God I wish that was me
>>24807417Yeah, at least her suffering is over.
>>24807410I guess Ttekbokki became kinda mid recently
>>24807410Just hoping for a ripple effect of copycat suicides. There are too many fucking humans on the planet anyway.>>24807423Kek.
Just dropping in to tell you all that Korean is the worst among Asian cuisines
>>24807428Excluding the tarantula grilling famine survivors down at Vietnam
>>24807413Bear-wrestling. She went out like a champ.
>>24807438When people say asia they mean real countries; China, Korea, Japan.
>>24807428No it isn't. Their side dishes rule and you get like 6 of them with every meal. Gamjatang (pork bone soup) is overrated though.
i surmise its just your standard south korean capitalist alienation and consumerist excess squid game critique that we have seen 50 gorillion times regarding modern east-asian societies, but thats just a presumption.
>>24807610they throw any meat they have onto the grill after chopping it up with scissors and dip it all into some overbearing sauce.These people have no sense of taste.
>>24807413BWC deficiency.
I could have saved her
Sad
>>24807685>bestsellerI think that is a negative indication of the korean society if that is the case.
Vax status?
>>24807690>I think that is a negative indication of the korean society if that is the casei mean, its quite well known and agreed upon how absolutely fucked up korean society is, both within and outside the country. its just that the average korean has literally zero power to make any change as the government is completely bought by the cyberpunk mafia tech families that rule the country. you have zero chance other than falling in line or leaving the country. only people who think korean society is fine or good is clueless retarded teenagers falling for retarded propaganda like kpop or very young koreans who simply dont know better because they are too busy being in school every waking second.
Should've escaped to the north
>>24807410I will now read her book. Suicidal ideation is a sign of sincerity and soul.
>>24807417you will never be a woman
>>24807428that's japanese food. too few ingredients living alone on a tiny island.
>>24807959As opposed to too many chile peppers living alone on a peninsula?
>>24807410She is hot, so I am gonna read her work now and then pretend like I thought it was really good before she sadly passed away (sad because shes hot).
>>24807438>tarantulaIsn't that more of a Cambo thing? For Vietnam, it's dog BBQ. But to be fair they used to do that too in Korea until recently (at least they made it illegal now).
>>24807959Japanese food is so overrated. It is very bland with its simplicity being falsely appreciated since it lacks the focus for strong simple flavors as exists with truffles and wine.
>>24807721oh yeah, because youth movements change anything in western countries ever. Demonstrations do nothing here. In Europe they demonstrated versus Covid for years at night and in silence, and nothing happened. In China they demonstrated against the Covid measures for less than a month and all restrictions were removed. China is more likely to listen to its citizens input than western countries are these days. As if that isn't apparent with how our politics have gone the past 70 years.
>>24807438>here's your hors d'oeuvre bro
>>24808085high protein unironically
>>24808108I will NOT eat the bugs
kdrama adaptation when?
>>24808165>female director
>>24808042The Japanese have very subtle tastes. They do enjoy French cuisine as well.
>>24808389>They do enjoy French cuisine as well.everyone remotely civilized does.
>>24807685Self-pitying and pathetic. Nothing of value has been lost.
>>24808108Something wrong with a sirloin?
>>24808042>Japanese pipo don't season dey foodDo americans really?
>>24808473more calories
>>24807426Why don't you Malthusians start first?
>>24808816Because we've seen this shit coming for decades, and now it's finally happening. Do you expect us to forego the pleasure?
>>24807460Jap food is clearly the worst among the three.
"Real" Azn cuisine is the deSade of the culinary world. Truly degenerate, evil and vile.
>>24808862The Green Revolution proved you wrong.
>>24808042I only appreciate food that's autistically hard/time-consuming to make, and the Japanese excel at that. Begone, peasant.
>>24808473Would you ask that to an Indian man? How about we be a little more self-aware and considerate of others?
>>24808894What's the forecast for global warming again?How long until the crops start failing and the famines start? Hint: check the price trends for coffee and chocolate.
>>24808922Apocalyptic predictions have always been right. I'd be more worried about the competency crisis than anything else.
>>24808903>implying Indians can resist a rare sirloin dripping with bloodIt's literally the cure for Hinduism.
>>24808925Based climate change denier. Meanwhile, the rest of the biosphere is going extinct because too many humans.
>>24808942>Meanwhile, the rest of the biosphere is going extinct because too many indians* FTFY
>>24808945>Meanwhile, the rest of the biosphere is going extinct because too many ChinksFTFY. At least the Indians still live in poverty. It's the billion-plus Chinese who are generating all the carbon.
>>24807413> Baek Se-hee died in a hospital in Goyang on 16 October 2025. According to the Korea Organ Donation Agency, her heart, lungs, liver and kidneys were donated, saving the lives of five other people. The cause of death was not announced.
>>24808962Ah, self-sacrifice. Honorable.
>>24808962She made someone powerful mad and was executed to have her organs harvested
>>24808962does someone that commits suicide but saves the lives of 5 people go to heaven?
>>24808962>The cause of death was missing 5 organs
>>24809055i don't think suicide results in usable organs. she probably died in a car accident
>>24808952>generating all the carbon.They are doing that to produce your playstations tho
>>24809063There's more ways to kys yourself than drug overdose.
>>24809068I USE A PC YOU BITCH'S BASTARD
>>24808952>SAAR IS THE CHINESE SAAR Nice try Patel
>>24809070still the body is likely to be dead for way too long for the organs to be viable
>>24809224The US is still by far the largest emitter of carbon on a per capita basis, even if you ignore everything that China is producing for each US consumer.
>>24809339>>24809070>Go to hospital>Sign organ donor form>Reveal cut-down coach shotgun, blow head off in the lobby.Everything below the neck is salvageable. I know you can't easily get guns in gookland but that's just one example. Maybe she could cut her throat really badly. Like, hit the "dead in ten seconds" artery.
>>24808165God that's so hot
>>24809346Isn't it funny that they are promoting suicide by telling people that their organs will save lives? That they will be heroes by heroing themselves. Gooks are fucking sick.
>>24807410The saddest thing about girls committing suicide is they didnt have sex with me.
>>24807428This is true. Korean food involves super spicy sauces or incredibly sweet sauces to mask subpar cooking skills.
>>24808114spiders aren't bugs tho
>>24807691cant believe she commited suicide by vaxxinating herself!
>>24809057
>>24807410I could have saved her.
>>24808903>saarloin>>24809341>on a per capita basisWhich doesn't matter effectively at all. It's the total spewed out that changes the climate, if every person in Luxembourg had a thousand times the emissions he does now it wouldn't make a damn bit of difference.
>>24807428Japanese food overtakes it in that regard.
So, now that the dust has settled in this thread. Is the book any good?
>>24808962>>24809057>gook 1: bro, should we be doing this? if she's some kind of celebrity there could be an investigation.>gook 2: what is she famous for?>gook 1: *checks phone* literature.>gook 2: *keeps cutting*
>>24810345>Is the book any good?We have yet to discuss her actual oevre. It doesn't seem anyone itt has even read her bestseller.
>>24807410Holy shit she was so cute. Sucks when beauty dies
>>24807610Tonkotsu > GamjatangOnly Koreans disagree.
>>24807721Can we go back to saying without as the antonym of within? This is /lit/ after all, everyone within will understand. It is so much more aesthetically pleasing, don't you agree?
>>24810401You mean her feet?
>Baek Sehee is a successful young social media director at a publishing house when she begins seeing a psychiatrist about her-what to call it?-depression? She feels persistently low, anxious, endlessly self-doubting, but also highly judgmental of others. She hides her feelings well at work, but the effort is exhausting, overwhelming, and keeps her from forming deep relationships.>Chapter 3 is titled "I'm Under Constant Surveillance">Chapter 6 is titled "What Should I Do to Know Myself Better?">Chapter 8 is titled "Medication Side Effects">Buzzfeed writes: "A testament to the gradual nature of therapy's cumulative healing effects."Most subtle psyop.
>>24810584Thank god we have a book written about this life. How else would chatgpt be able to capture this existence well enough in korean?
>>24807428Unless you spent years dinning in a variety of restaurants and then replicating the dishes in your own home, you are not qualified to judge which cuisines are good. In most cases, people who judge cuisines had very shallow experiences. They don't even know how to cook beyond simple dishes like steak with french fries.
>>24810733You are not qualified to judge me.
>>24810733>i've wasted my whole life learning about ching-chong noodles and i WILL be insufferable about it
>>24810050Per Capita is the only measure that matters. That's why everything is calculated per capita.
>>24810865>science has finally figured out how to make a nigger understand per capita but now he's stuck like this
>>24808899>catch fish>don't even cook it>put on rice and seaweedWOW SUCH CUISINE
>>24809346Your organs will just go to some rich Jew anyway.
>>24810899>>24810875Begone, peasant!
Gentlemen! This is a literary club. Please, keep your conversations related to literature.
>>24810941>literary clubHow dare you
>>24809594>Isn't it funny that they are promoting suicide by telling people that their organs will save livesYeah.>>24810913>Your organs will just go to some rich Jew anyway.This is also true.I should clarify my original post does not say anything on the efficacy, moral correctness, or societal impact of the action; only how to accomplish it effectively.
>>24810941It's not a club, it's more of a 50's doo-wop gang that occasionally reads.
>>24810865>Per Capita is the only measure that matters.The actual climate doesn't give a fuck about per capita. It's the total amount of carbon emitted that causes warming.
>>24810941I'm itt only because of kpop demon hunters
>>24810941You can eat my fuck, you proprietorial bitch's bastard.
>>24807410>writes book that supposedly inspired tonnes of people to seek treatment for mental healthWhat will her suicide inspire?
>I want to be healthyHer last social media post. Bruh.
>>24807410I saw the book in a local shop but ignored it because I assumed it was either diaspora lit or intending to appeal to the overseas Asian community.
>>24811131Peasant, begone!
>>24807410Maybe she had tteokbokki so good that she knew that there would be nothing better and that life was complete.
>>24811359Fuck off back to /reddit/, you cringey faggot.
>>24811408Begone, peasant. You have had your warning.
>>24811563>>24811408Language, Gentlemen! Our society values courtesy in every moment of our stay at the club.
what did she die of
>>24811408I find your behavior most odious and unbecoming, sir.
>>24807610>pickles>pickles>pickles>seaweed >tasteless rice noodles>pickles>spicy pickles
>>24807428You would be correct were it not for the Philipines.
>>24809055Shes going to gook heaven which is our equivalent of hell
>>24807410Great commitment to long-term marketing. Though, in today's world, artists' deaths mean a lot less.
>>24810658Chatgpt doesnt do that though, it just recreates the type of answer someone wants based on what it can find on the internet. Stop dignifying this glorified search engine, its not making the technology better, just feeding money into the pockets of shareholders.
>>24807410>>24807685was going to read it but then saw pic relatedmilking depression for profit
>>24811593We were just joking around. I love that anon so much. We are practically like blood brothers already.
>>24808108So is my cum, open up.
>>24807410We don't already have enough feminist slop of this flavor? >Book about a depressed woman. You can open tiktok and find a woman complaining about depression, instantly.
>>24810733>They don't even know how to cook beyond simple dishes like steak with french fries.Literally the only thing worth cooking.And a good steak isn't easy to cook right.
>>24811267>tattooShe deserved to die
>>24808870you have a vulgar palate
>>24812434can you reheat a steak, anon?
>>24811600food poisoning
>>24812494ever heard of a microwave?
>>24813094Is it still going to taste good though?
>>24810865china with its big fat gdp and one billion chinks will shove your per capita up your luxembourger ass when they start pouring out onto the flemish shore from their ships, which are worth more than your entire petty so called country(duchy), gregory
>>24808466I resent that this is what defines so many women. No personality, nothing interesting about them, and all they do is feel sorry for themselves.
