The celebrated South Korean writer of I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki passed unexpectedly, leaving fans in mourning. We cover how this young author was able to touch so many and the legacy she left behind. Image: Baek Se-hee - New Narratives - Photo: Youtube clip. Who was Baek Se-hee ? Baek Se-hee was born in 1990 in the Goyang area of Korea. When she was older, she studied creative writing and worked at a publishing company for five years, gaining her writing experience and connections. In her personal life, however, it was not all upbeat roses, as she had struggles with her mental health in the form of depression. Image: I Want to Die but I Want To Eat Tteokbokki contains a record of conversations between the author and her psychiatrist - Photo: Bloomsbury Achievements Baek Se-hee was a best-selling author, and thanks to her best-selling book, I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki , it broke cultural taboos by openly discussing depression and therapy, which is often hidden away in the conservative Korean culture. This book was translated into 25 languages due to its amazing content, and it allowed readers to focus on the emotional journey and self-reflection when it comes to mental health. Fan responses Fans of the writer were quick to take to social media with heartfelt messages after hearing about her passing. Many fans expressed that her work helped them overcome their own depression or mental health problems, and that they were sad to hear that she had passed at such a young age, since she had a very bright future in front of her. How did she pass? Right now, there has been no public announcement on the cause of death; however, she sadly passed away on October 16, 2025, at the young age of 35. Her final act after passing was a kind act like no other. Baek Se-hee donated her organs in a bid to help save others' lives. This really goes to show the legacy that she will leave behind. Final thoughts The Dojeon team is deeply saddened to hear about the passing of such a talented young writer. We believe that the world was truly her oyster, and that she helped many young Koreans and people around the world overcome the challenges and shift the stigma when it comes to the taboo of mental health problems, especially as they are so often not spoken about. We hope her family and friends have time to grieve and that Baek Se-hee's talents and encouraging words live on to help others. Did you read Baek Se-hee's book? If so, then we would love to hear your thoughts on it in the comments below. #BarkSeHee #RestInPeace #MentalHealthAwareness #IWantToDieButIWantToEatTteokbokki #SouthKoreanAuthor #GoneTooSoon

The new teaser for The Manipulated just dropped, and fans are losing their minds! The thriller stars Ji Chang-wook as Park Tae-joong. A picture-perfect citizen whose life blows up after he’s falsely accused of rape and murder. While locked up, he discovers a mysterious guy named An Yo-han is framing innocent people, and the revenge mode gets activated. Between the tension, visuals, and that eerie soundtrack, everyone’s calling it a must-watch! Directed by Park Sin-woo and Kim Chang-joo, written by Oh Sang-ho, and co-starring Doh Kyung-soo , aka D.O. from EXO , this 12-episode rollercoaster hits Disney+ on November 5 , with weekly drops till December 3. Alongside Ji Chang-wook, the lineup features Kim Jong-soo ( Gangnam B-side , 2024), Jo Yoon-soo ( The Tyrant , 2024), and Lee Kwang-soo ( Karma , 2025) - each ready to crank up the chaos, tension, and chemistry. Here are some fan reactions: "He always serves powerful acting, like his entire life depends on it! I mean omg actor Ji Chang-wook" “People who have watched Fabricated City  gonna remember this scene in their whole life, I always cry whenever I watch this scene. People who have watched the movie know this scene meaning, Ji Chang Wook performance was so crazy. Hope The Manipulated  have this.” “The amount of hell Ji Chang Wook experienced in Fabricated City  movie, according to source The Manipulated  will give him even more extreme level hell. Don’t know how much he’s gonna suffer, I think that’s why his character is so angered for revenge.” "King of Action Ji Chang Wook" "Just found some comment about The Manipulated’s poster and trailer. Ji Chang Wook and Doh Kyungsoo’s acting makes them actors you can trust and watch. I enjoyed watching 조작된 도시 and really looking forward to it (The Manipulated). The lesson from this drama is: if you find something, you should either kindly turn it in to the police station or just pretend you didn’t see it and walk past" "The Manipulated trailer is giving everything — chaos, emotion, mystery. Ji Chang Wook is about to show SO many faces of himself, every expression hits like a punch. we’re not ready for this range" "No one does action like Ji Chang wook in k-drama! Can't wait for TheManipulated" "Put him in any role and he will make it go iconic" With The Manipulated  just around the corner, it’s clear that both Ji Chang-wook and Doh Kyung-soo are set to light up the screen like never before. Ji takes on the drowning-in-betrayal, vengeance-driven role of Tae-joong, while Doh steps into chilling villain territory, turning the tables with cold precision. Their intense dynamic, married to a dark, high-stakes plot of fabricated lives and revenge, signals a major thriller drop.

Good News Storyline — A Weird Tale You Won’t Believe Is Real At first glance, Good News feels like a dark comedy built on pure imagination.

The movie follows a group of ordinary people who get tangled in a strange and unexpected chain of events after one impulsive act goes wrong. As chaos unfolds, what begins as a desperate situation soon turns into a bizarre yet oddly touching story about guilt, survival, and what people call “good news” in a world gone mad. It’s the kind of film that keeps you wondering if you should laugh, cry, or just question how something this unbelievable actually happened in real life! Good News (Credits: Netflix) The Cast of Good News : A Powerful Line-Up Good News brings together an impressive cast. Hong Kyung as Seo Go-myung, showing a mature and confident side of his acting. Sul Kyung-gu plays a mysterious fixer who may not be who he seems. Ryoo Seung-bum stars as Director Park Sang-hyeon, a top intelligence officer with questionable motives. The film is directed by Byun Sung-hyun, the director behind Kill Boksoon , who is known for creating stylish thrillers with emotional depth. Together, this cast promises a perfect balance of seriousness and wit. Good News (Credits: Netflix) Good News Gets Great Reaction from Fans Fans and critics are praising Good News for its clever mix of tension and humor. Many are calling it a “witty political comedy” that keeps you thinking even after it ends. Viewers on forums and social media are praising Hong Kyung for his performance, saying he brings both heart and intelligence to the role. One comment that went viral said, “It’s not just a hijacking movie, it’s a mirror to politics and human nature.” With such strong reactions, it’s safe to say Good News is worth watching, especially for anyone who enjoys thrillers with a smart and emotional core. Good News (Credits: Netflix) Where and How to Watch Good News Good News premiered worldwide on October 17, 2025 , and is now available on Netflix. Fans can stream it directly on the platform by searching "Good News (2025)". In some regions, it might take a few days to appear, so make sure to keep it on your watchlist.

Sweat, scenery, and a potential ejection! Running shirtless in Korea until they tell me to stop. Here is what the Dojeon team knows about this trending issue that has everyone so hot and bothered! Image: Running Shirtless in Korea - Jung Hae - Photo: Pintrest What’s The Big Deal? Law enforcement in Seoul and the surrounding areas has implemented a ban on shirtless running in parks, such as Yeouido Park along the Han River . The reason behind this new ban is based on a catalogue of complaints from pedestrians, stating that loud group runs, runners yelling at pedestrians, and shirtless runners have been causing havoc. These new rules banning shirtless running have since been posted on banners, though they are not yet officially enforced by law, but be aware that they are spreading to other districts. It’s part of a broader effort to manage growing complaints about park crowding and behavior from runners. Having spent several years going to these parks ourselves, the Dojeon team is curious exactly who has been complaining. The majority of Koreans work long hours and have no outside space in their living areas, since most Koreans live in multi-story apartments. So their vice is running outside to maintain their health. Why has this ban come into place now? Idols & Public Figures Korean idols and celebrities have also been snapped running shirtless in the past, and of course, as K-pop opens up, many dance routines also involve little clothing or being shirtless, so what is the issue? *Make sure you're insured everywhere you go! Visit SafteyWing  for more details on how you can protect yourself and your loved ones whenever you travel! (Click on the banner below for your discounted rate!) A great example of this is BTOB’s Minhyuk , who performed shirtless at Waterbomb Seoul  festival, or when actor Jin Tae-hyun  talked publicly about running shirtless. He mentioned that sometimes he runs shirtless at tracks or parks during less crowded hours, and that he has been asked to cover up, but believes there is no legal basis to prohibit it. He proposes that maybe specific laws or designated times/places could be used. Final thoughts Since there are no official laws in place, only basic bans, many people, including some of the Dojeon team, view them as being ineffective and just a deterrent. We also believe that they will not be effective with the Gen Z audience, and other critics have also mentioned that it’s unfair to target runners specifically, while others using the parks aren’t held to similar behavioral standards. Did we get kicked out? In our experience, as a team, we have never had any bad experiences running along the Han River. In fact, although we have not taken part in shirtless running, we have experienced being present in a running group where a few members took off their shirts. The feedback was rather positive, with passers by saying that we were doing "a good job", and that the "weather was too hot to run". In my opinion, being there while people are running topless is no different from being in a country like Spain, where the weather is hot during the summer, than wearing any clothes. For most women, who don't like a bit of eye candy while taking a walk in the park. At the end of the day, as long as the runners are keeping to themselves and not getting in the way of others, this ban seems like a waste of time and unenforceable, so we are sure that it will get ignored. We would love to hear your opinion on this controversial topic. Do you agree or disagree with banning topless running in Seoul? #KoreaShirtlessRun #RunningInKorea #BannedRunner #ShirtlessJogging #SeoulVlog #PushingTheLimits
