The story of Kim Mi-young, a bereaved family member who decided to donate organs despite the sadness of losing her husband in March this year, and the story of Lim Hae-chul, a vocalist who received a brain-dead heart transplant more than a decade ago and lives a healthy life, resonated greatly with the audience.

Gachon University Gil Hospital opened the organ transplant center in 1991 and has succeeded in surgery in various transplant fields such as heart, liver, and kidney, contributing to the milestone of organ transplantation in Korea. In 2002, it was designated as a specialized organization (HOPO) for the management of brain-dead people that comprehensively manages brain-dead people.

Kim Woo-kyung, head of Gachon University Gil Hospital, said "All medical staff, including the organ transplant center, will also do their best to ensure that the noble sacrifice and love of the donor are not in vain, and that even one more person can be saved.'
