A woman in her 20s, who was brain-dead after being hit by a traffic violation, left for heaven after giving three people a new life through organ donation.
According to the Korea Organ Donation Service today (27th), the late Choi Hyun-soo was hit by a vehicle that violated the signal while crossing the crosswalk to return home from work at dawn on the 12th.
Choi was transferred to a nearby hospital and underwent emergency surgery, but fell brain-dead.

Born in Mapo-gu, Seoul in 1996, the second of a son and two daughters, Choi graduated from Hansung Science High School and Korea University, and joined SK Energy this year.
Her family said, "She was a strong daughter who was good at her job, and as a mood maker among her siblings, she always made those around her feel good," she recalled Choi.
She continued, "She decided to donate because she thought that if she donated, she wouldn't say goodbye, but that she could live with her somewhere."
Her father, Myung-geun Choi, said to her daughter, "It was a short life, but to our family, she was the prettiest daughter and a good daughter."
Lee Ho-jeong, a social worker in charge of treating Choi's bereaved family, said, "It is difficult to dare to comprehend the sorrow of a family who suddenly parted from a daughter who must have been more proud than anyone else.
