Good to know. Emotional aside. This question on the description got me wondering as well. "I wonder what she was thinking in her last moments, when she decided to leave everything behind, including gifts bought for a child she never met." The house is big enough for 2. This mean she's financial stable. Unless I'm wrong. She has a lot of debt. She choose that path because she doesn't want to bring a new born to this world where they'll be working to death. That's her final message to us. 💚
The book already translated and published in my country. The synopsis was interesting, but haven't had chance to buy it yet. So this man is the author... hopefully i can buy his book later
I think many of us are prideful to ask for help and not wanting to ask for help from family. Maybe we think it’s an inconvenience for them and figure we could do it on our own. While many are are alone by choice, there are others who are cut off from families. I have a cousin in Korea whose father is not speaking to him because he has not passed his exams. My uncle blames it on laziness. I think there’s an age limit and he’s on his last chance. I can see how many end up lonely and ostracized, especially in this present culture. I don’t know the specifics of that or any other job this gentleman have had to perform, but it’s at least it’s giving a glimpse of the plights many are facing, such as starvation, loneliness, and suicide.
yea... Starvation in a modern society is disgusting. Young men without family are discard-able. I believe Universal Basic Income is the solution. If he just had a little bit of money coming in monthly or by-weekly he would have survived.
@@boecat8054 in that aspect, our country is very healthy and not just in the family circle, but in work too, I live in Spain and the rate of S***de in young people is least than 4%
I think he would do it either way. So leaving that comment may have given him a little bit of comfort before death, knowing his body would be found quickly and his belongings taken care of. 💔
Tbh, it's kind of amazing to know that there will be someone who'll clean up after me. I struggle to keep things tidy so i always planned on cleaning my entire room and my body if i ever decide to take my own life.
The fact they bow and give their respects before they start cleaning... absolutely beautiful.. living with depression all my life i fear about what happens after i pass.. but you gave them the respect they deserved and so deeply wanted. these people are truly angels for their work.
All your life? This is gonna sound harsh but you need to get over it, as in you need to over power your negative thoughts and feelings. All those thoughts piling up, are fooling you into thinking your life is hell. You have to be stronger than those thoughts. You gotta change something in your life, start working out, move to a new city, get a new skill, hobby, etc. Living with depression can have a negative effect on your physical health too, and it accumulates. Theres a lot of bad things in the world, and you gotta be stronger than all of them. And forget fearing about what happens after you pass, it happens to everybody. Just improve your life every day and focus on positive things.
@@TheTrooperMB "easy to tell"? lol What am I supposed to do over comments? Write it down with words how hard it was to write that comment? Its easy to tell, because I've been there on rock bottom, closer to death than you'll ever know, and I made it out and now nothing can take me down. If anything you should be thanking people who are telling all of you to keep fighting and get your life together, because that is the only thing you can do after all. I'm leading by example, all you gotta do is follow.
@@sparks7674 Wrong on 2 things. First, I don't "feel" like I'm being helpful, I KNOW I'm being helpful because this is whats rational, since I have the experience to know. Second, if you feel like this an ineffective way to treat depression then you clearly know what is effective. Why don't you share that with us?
@@Fix-- last time i really felt happy was during my childhood playing with my friends. then there just nothing there are sadness sometimes but mostly nothing
I’m a crime scene cleaner as well, and to hear someone in the field speak how scenes make them feel is refreshing. Because we really do think these things but there are no videos on us and how we see life
Kinda hard to make videos on that content haha, but that profession is very respectable and every single reasonable person respects the effort put into jobs like that.
@@varsityathlete9927 haha no actually had it 2 years before working in this field but after everything I’ve seen I can say that this world really is a hateful place
@@MihaiRUdeRO that is true, but would be nice hearing other techs stories would be cool you know? I like to see how other techs feel, my team always talks about it. Very refreshing tbh
So heartbreaking, especially hearing about the young man who starved to death after he couldn’t qualify for any financial assistance. Oh man, I can’t stop crying
That was rough. I went through a starvation semester in college. I would almost pass out but luckily I was able to graduate and leave the next semester. Not only did I not have much money for food I was in so much pain I couldn’t feed myself or walk to the grocery store to buy food. This was before delivery services we have now. I started having an emergency savings after that because I NEVER want to go through that every again!
@@AlejandraXio i hope you're living happy life now. When i was still student, i have some good friends, we always share food. We take turn to pay and cook. We're not rich but we never starve, we make sure the 4 of us eat good meal 3x everyday.
I hope this guy can keep doing what he does. And never lose his light and will to live. I remember when I was 14 or 15. I had a friend who i didn't really know that well tbh but me him and a bunch of other dudes would chill outside do teenager stuff. We all went to his house one day and were just shocked at the state of his home no one said anything but we didn't feel comfortable chilling there. It was SO SO bad. Like a landfill site. piles of paper, garbage and random items, everywhere, waist high and his mom sitting there like 600 lbs overweight. That very day I made the decision that I was going to change this. I came back the next day with garbage bags and cleaning supplies that i stole from my own home. I worked hard for hours, my friend, his mom, and the rest of my boys telling me to stop, but I kept going (and eventually they started helping me lol) I remember his mom saying "Kirk, where'd you find this kid?" because before when I was just chilling with him, he and his mom were always at odds with each other, fighting all the time. Sometimes, I'd hear his mom blaming him for some of his choices and even some of her own. Anyways, I made his place look beautiful by organizing and sorting, separating important documents from garbage and I even found long lost items that were of sentimental value I returned all of it. And once I was done, I felt there was nothing left for me to do here and I said "see ya tomorrow" and I never chilled with him or any of the rest of my boys again hahaha XD. I will always remember how when i was leaving my friend thanked me truly. Our friendship was brief, but during that period to have made such a difference and impact on someones life and to then just disappear. Feels extra good for some strange reason. I found my dude on IG the other day and it looks like he and his mom have settled their differences and they live happily and his mom lost a ridiculous amount of weight. Made my day. Sometimes people just need a hand cleaning their house and doing that i feel can make a world of difference to them. Give them clear view of life going forward and hope.
So grateful that someone like Kim Sael-byul is doing this kind of specialized service. He has saved lives in his own way, and for the people who believe in the afterlife, I'm sure he's laid many suffering souls to rest.

Given how badly a place smells of the corpse and how the smell is so nauseating and difficult to get rid of, I have the highest respect for trauma cleaning services and this man who runs it as it is not an easy job at all and he does it with such respect.
What is the smell like? Genuinely curious. The most nauseating smell that comes to my memory is when my dog got skunked, ran inside and dragged the oil across my bed sheets.
This is like "Move to Heaven" kdrama which i recommend to all to watching it...the kdrama really makes me inspire and grateful and also respect to those trauma cleaning services cause it takes a lot of courage and strong minded to clean all their customers who had passed away even the tragic ones
One of the best series I've watched. I really hope there will be a season two. I also want to read the essay, 'Things Left Behind' by Kim Saw-byul that "Move to Heaven' was based on.
@@CindersVale Ohhh is it an article or novel? cause i would like to read it since i took health sciences so i can discuss the novel or article with my friends

This man is a tender soul. You can see it in his eyes and hear it in his voice. So much hurt in this world but I am grateful there are kind and thoughtful people who still care and pay their respects. He understands how tough life can be on some people and does his best to help in any way. I wish we had a couple of billion people with these characteristics. Somehow it is reassuring. Oh, kind Sir, thank you for being who you are and caring.
I’m also someone with suicidal thoughts, been like this since 2017. After my parents both passed away in 2019, it’s even harder to fight the thoughts. But then I stumbled upon Move to Heaven and also some of this person’s videos too after that. And true to his words, I actually got the courage to continue my life after watching it. It’s the feeling of “Ah, so I’m not suffering all alone in this world.” And “I’ve been living in loneliness so I don’t want to also die in loneliness”. Thank you. You’re doing so much for the death, but you’re also doing so much for us the living ones. Sincerely, thank you. Edit: Hi, everyone. I didn’t know that I’d received so much warm and comforting words like this. Sincerely thank you so much for your care even when we don’t know each other. It makes me kinda have faith that there are still a lot of love here in this jaded world. I’m holding onto my life as much as I can. And I’m still going to counseling when I feel too overwhelmed. I’ve been writing my journals again too to help me to understand myself better. And I’m trying my best to accept what happened & to let go what I can’t control. I hope little by little, there will be days where I love my life and myself. And I sincerely wish you all the same too 💛
You have many people who worry about you, even your parents in heaven. You must carry on and live a happy life, the life your parents wanted to live with you 🫂
U are doing good job.. Please keep Stay alive and keep make u busier with thing u love...and pls Surrounding yourself with your loved ones... I pray for you.. :)
i had a friend in Korea too. She was very cheerful, she never showed any signs of her getting tired of life. But, even if I'm thousands of miles away from her, I really felt something was wrong. I tried my best to contact someone there to go check up on her every day. After a week of talking and trying to give her courage and reason to live, she took her own life - painlessly. She still appears on my dreams sometimes and always say that one korean line, "조심해" (take care). I was, useless.
Don't put that burden on yourself bro. You all you could and it was just a terrible situation. It happens all the time and we just have no control over it. I think you should know, that you were probably a really special person to her and she would wanna see you thrive in life!
Was she your crush in your dream? She still wanted to do it, so she did it, when you didnt know what was her problem and so you talking to her helps nothing, when she still wante to do it, when she got her own problems.
@@somedude9849 He said after his comment I was useless, so why you think he would be very special person to her, when wasent he useless, when she still wanted to kill herself.
@@jout738 With depression and suicide it's hard. When someone has it, they can have all the support they need in life and still end up dead. In order for them to be saved or to make change, the depressed person must do it themselves and find that inner strength. All us outsiders could do is help as they do it. I've faced this exact thing my whole life and I had to make that change. It's not easy, in fact it's one if the most difficult things I've ever done.
I am lucky to live in a rural area of a poor country. In my country no matter how poor we are it is so rare to die from starvation. We always take care of one another. And sometimes even if it is annoying we are lucky to have nosey neighbors. We normally exchange food even if someone didn't ask. We share what grows in our trees with each other. Industrialization and urbanization can be a curse sometimes. People fighting to survive so forget to check on others. Sometimes I wonder what is the meaning of all these technology if we cannot be happy and peaceful. I am so sorry for that man who died of starvation. I wish nobody will ever go through something like that ever again. Not even an animal
Same, I also wonder how hard life is in those big countries or big cities where even with thousands of dollars of salary they still had to take a loan and had a big debt that they need to pay till the next generation. I live in not a really poor city not also a big city. It's still a suburban province so the living expense is not too big, we still can live well here with my mom only making about 150$ a month and a bit of mine about $50 and we can still live in a house with 2 bedroom a proper bathroom and sanitation, with wifi and also with a proper food every day. And we never take a loan from anywhere. So after hearing the story of the life of the people who live in a big city I'm kinda grateful for what I have now.
I never think about the cleaning process after the crimes is committed, usually the detective work, police, laws, victims, etc. People like this man are amazing. All respect for you Sir❤️
I've been doing crime scene cleanup for about a decade now, and despite being in a high crime area, the overwhelming majority of the jobs that I take these days are suicides. I thank you for shedding some light onto this profession, as well as your respect for the dead. They may be gone, but they still deserve respect nonetheless.
Thnx for your job...im physician...i wish i could play some role to benifit these broken souls and broken heart ppl who does suicide.its getting common alot...atleast you are doing good for them
@@bagelizedwell yeah... because Hanzi is a logogram. It's basically pictures... closer to emojis even. If you had a drawing of a door, it's always gonna mean a fucking door in English, Spanish, Russian and Chinese. It just so happens that Hanzi is used by basically by most (pretty much all, historically) languages in East Asia - so yeah everyone - in east asia just so happens to draw a door the same: 門. I mean I think the funniest and simplest example is how this is a tree: 木 and to say forest... you just draw more fucking trees: 森. 3 fucking trees make a forest haha!
So sad. Years ago I saw a documentary on a company that cleaned up after American AIDS patients died. Many of them had been completely shunned by friends and family and were living alone when the disease killed them. So, when the company cleaned up, all of the victim's personal effects like photos and Mementos of the personal life they had before they got AIDS, were just bagged up and deposited in the dump. I can't imagine my family not wanting all of the photos and videos that I have of all the good times we had together. It just makes me so sad. 😞
@@Katakon674 Sorry but that was several years ago. I saw it on TV when the AIDS epidemic was still in the news. I think I saw it on PBS, but I'm not sure.
That's heartbreaking. The whole way it was dealt with back in the day was cruel. They likely thought their belongings were "contaminated" and there was no empathy - I remember the constantvblaming in the news. How when people died it reported in such a cold manner. Shameful times.
Man the respect this guy has....the fact that he sees his job as helping collect mementos for the bereaced...its truly a beautiful way of looking at it. I appreciate this man and his team.
I cried so hard when he talked about the young woman who died surrounded by baby clothes. I felt that. I really did because I know exactly how she feels. Not to want to hold a baby in my arms but to hold a dream and have it seen through. That hope and that dream is what she was holding onto in those clothes. I'm glad someone is treating these people with respect and that this man cares for the places where they died with such care. I pray no one has to endure suffering like this.
There are comments of people thinking that this woman died while pregnant and she took her own life despite the child being inside her. But now that you said that dream dying thing I think that the poor lady must've had a miscarriage and there was really no way for her to hold her baby.
@@koperkowypies thats true, he made a bussiness after suicide rate spiked and elderly died way too often. Hes doing his job just like a mortician would. Its sad that there are many young poeple commiting suicide but even that can create bussiness opportunites which he took.
I hope that Mr. Kim has his own place of happiness to come home to after such a difficult yet very important job ❤️ I can imagine that it can be draining sometimes, especially when the suicide rates were high during the pandemic. I wish for a good future for Mr. Kim. Please stay healthy, caring, happy and know that many people are thankful for the job that you do!
Kim Sael-byul deserves a metal for doing such a difficult job. I'm so grateful for him and his amazing compassionate soul. I feel so bad about the young man who died due to starvation. How can a country like S.Korea not feeding its' people? Are there no food pantries? Please help each others and let's get through this together! Fighting!
There aren't big systems of food pantries because there are different social structures, taking handouts has traditionally been perceived as shameful. They have things like 'Big Sister' charities, where a volunteer connects with shut-in young men and encourages them to get out/helps with forms/emotionally supports. The focus is very much on becoming part of society and working. The issue of men falling out of the system and dying alone is recognised as a significant problem in society. Access to welfare supports are there. But people with psych problems often have difficulty negotiating and staying in systems due to depression/apathy/trust issues. It's why most countries over 30% of homeless people have significant mental illness issues.
As someone who has struggled and still struggles with suicide, I find this incredibly inspirational, it brought me to tears. Anyone out there, please remember this, just because you feel a certain way now, doesn't mean you are doomed to feel that way forever. People change, feelings change and life is like a river, always flowing, always moving forward, but never stagnant and forever changing. Happiness comes and goes, but an appreciation for life can be learned and felt forever. Take time to notice and appreciate the little things, smell the roses, watch nature, live in the moment, be yourself. Things WILL get better, it can be a long and arduous journey, but you will eventually make it to the other side and find solace and happiness. Time heals all wounds. There are resources out there and people who love you, even if you feel isolated and alone, you need to reach out to friends, family and society and find comfort and understanding in the people who have felt the same way and still made it. I believe in you! Please, don't give up!
@@niharikasadanand2131 Don't just give these people motivational words...reach out to them, show them that you care. People with depression just want someone to be there for them, someone they can talk to.
After watching the series ‘Move to heaven’ i gained so much more respect to these people. I have looked in it more deeper and i learned so much about it. Also why they do this and how they reach out to the family members etc,, i really appreciate these people.
It's same in Japan, the term is 'kodokushi'. Stress from work, following strict norms and the cold society...which leads to suicide. This situation is such an ache...they were lonely when they were alive, and so in their death. May they have peace in the other side of the world 🕊️
@@ryzenryne8747 as a Catholic it's hard for me to reconcile suicide as a mortal sin from a place of empathy. I definitely think it's wrong to squander the most precious gift of life, but I fully recognize that extreme depression or other mental illnesses can lead people to feel they have no other options. We pray for the repose of their souls
@@Paintplayer1 It is theirs to decide since it's their life. And ofc it doesn't mean that, but if you try to help without essentially asking for consent to want help then it's greatly insulting.
On behalf of someone who has experienced suicidal thoughts and had suicidal family members and friends, thank you very much to this man for providing us with a service we desperately need in this vulnerable time.
"Lonely deaths are deaths that could have been prevented." Human contact is crucial. We need each other. My oldest son overheard me telling someone that I'm not afraid of dying, but I'm afraid of dying alone. Since then I see him almost every day. If I don't see him we talk on the phone. I no longer have that fear...🌹
cried watching this… the guy who starved had nobody… no neighbours, no friends, no relatives… no one to check up on him. He must’ve been incapable of asking for help himself.. to have to suffer a long and painful demise… thank you Mr Kim, for giving him a respectful & dignified send off.. atleast he was in good hands in the end.
the drama move to heaven was all in my head while watching this. we really appreciate your service. I’m certain that trauma cleaning is not an easy task and need lots of courage to do it! please don’t give up everyone life is worth living!
Years ago my mother was a teacher in the school where I also studied. She used to teach history in middleschool and in one of the classes, she used to see a set of twin girls..My mom used to notice them so much because until then she had never seen twins who looked exactly like carbon copies..these kids didn't have any friends and they always did things together. It's like one could not be seen without the other..During the recess hours they could always been seen walking along the large school grounds holding hands.. Their father was a doctor while mother was a nurse and they were from different religions. In India, it's a huge deal if people marry from different religions or even castes..Now things are changing but this was in the 90s and even family would disown their children for marrying from different religions. So this couple were also not in touch with their families. Then somehow they fell into some huge debt and was unable to escape the pressure. So this family got some food prepared and poisoned it which ended up in all of them dying..When the school authorities came to know about this tragedy, here is how the headmistress who was a nun responded "Suicides shouldn't be encouraged so no one of the staffs or nuns should go to their funeral"..Imagine how cruel that statement is. I still don't understand how suicide can be ''encouraged'. No one kills themselves because they feel that dying is cool..Its just that facing the death is easier than the intensity of pain they go through.May be if one person existed to whom they could turn to in times of difficulty, they would have abandoned the plan. It's that when man loses hope, everything gets so dark that they can't see what's beyond their eyes and it forces them to take these decisions. How heartbroken must people be when the only option left for them is to end their lives. I was thinking about them when I came across the story of trauma cleaners in 'Move to heaven'..And right now, when I see this video, I am immensely grateful that people like Kim Sae-byul are there in this world. What a great job he is doing to preserve the memories of the ones who has passed and it's a wonderful way to respect that fact they once lived among us. In a way, I feel that the word 'momento collector' is synonymous to kindness and we must appreciate the efforts they do to honor someone who is no longer amongst us.
Hi Ami - so beautifully written. No one wants to die just because........ the loss of hope is what makes people take this step. And when religious leaders talk like this it's shameful. On the contrary they should encourage people to give them a dignified farewell. With the number of suicides increasing daily, I too sometimes feel is life worth living ?
@@a.k.p.4061 I feel that there is nothing more valuable than life. This breath and this moment is all we have.So it is essential to protect it and help others who needs support at all cost.
Call me an asshole, but I believe suicide is the easy way out. No one strong goes through with suicide, however in my experience, I also know it takes balls to fully commit to it. I myself do not condone it, nor will I have sympathy for someone who “couldn’t” handle mental anguish because they didn’t feel like it anymore(Theres a difference between dying of heartbreak and meditated suicide). This doesn’t mean I don’t love my brothers though, but ultimately we are all going to answer for the actions committed in our lifetime.
Those kids didn’t commit suicide. Why did this mum say not to even attend theirs? Suicide is for desperate people. I can’t fathom condemning someone who is already down so low. Disgusting behavior from a religion who preaches love.
I think Korean people should be encouraged to donate to its own nation to reduce poverty. I've recently read that some famous people did donate millions of wons to countries like Ukraine, Armenia etc . Why don't you donate to poor people in your country , older people with disabilities, or younger ones that can not even feed themselves and die of starvation ?
I once was asked by my teacher “would you help feed African children by sending a lot of money” and I said “yes if I could” then he asked “there’s children in our own community who don’t have enough will you ignore them and save those across the sea?” it hit me like a ton of bricks….at some point in my life I was also the recipient of that help. I never thought anything of it because when my friends or I didn’t have money or anything to eat We would share half our food no problem it wasn’t even a thought. We knew we didn’t have money but somehow I never was dwelling on the fact because I had for most of my life been poor.
These donations do not actually reach people who aren't within the jurisdiction of a charity or orphanage or an organization. I wish go fund me was more common everywhere in the globe, so that people knew who to help
My roommate died in december 2021 just right before Christmas from septic shock and I felt so lost at that time . I'm so glad that I was able to reach out to both my family , her family and my friends for support and to do a massive clean out of her bedroom. I'm also glad that I was able to keep her cat too because having another living creature to look after kept me going throughout that sad time. Now, I'm paying it forward by helping out my friends and neighbors when they need help.
Listening to him telling his stories and that last one made me cry a river... i feel like i am someone who will die alone i did have the same thoughts but i choose to strive and be alive and yes have someone beside u that would constantly remind u how precious life is. Being extremly introvert is hard but im really pushing my self to be out there even if it just for an hour or few just to refresh my thoughts and keep me away from thinking of negatibe thougths. So please if u have suicidal thoughts snap out of it and ask for help may it be a doctor, a friend, or a family.. u can do this dont fall for that deep thoughts and live life one step at a time.
My uncle passed away alone in his apparent a couple of years ago, it took eight months for someone to notice and another three months until we found out. He was estranged from our family and lived in another country from us. After he was found no one contacted anyone in our family and the local authorities threw away all his possessions, we only found out about his death because my aunt googled our old family house where he lived. Someone actually caring would have been nice, he had our contact information in his possession and they could have easily found us if they had tried.
How on earth is this possible.. 8 months ??? What about the rent etc.. and the smell.. 8 months is almost a year. It's an apt complex .. nobody notices anything,???
@@bettylee234It takes a long time to evict someone due to missing rent payments. Like several months. And anyone from the apartment complex staff can't just enter your unit unless it's to make an emergency repair that's affecting another unit. As for neighbors not complaining about the smell, I have no idea. Maybe the ventilation and walls are set up in such a way that they can't smell anything from the other unit.
A friend of my sisters friend hung himself in his restaurant because of the debts he had due to the quarantine. I myself wanted to take my own life, after the loss of my sister in 2018 and because of my bad health. I am grateful that there are people like this men, who provide this service and i am also grateful for the people that take care of the those who deeply need it.
No, his debts weren't "due to C.", they was due to restrictions and mass abuse. Please make that distinction. They are still doing this to us, and will try and bring them back.
@@soleil7259 You need to say this though. Too many people talk as if it's the illness that did this. It's actuallly mismanagement and abuse on a global scale. What kind of idiots force people to stop making any money, but then also do little or nothing to stop banks, tax collectors and debt collectors coming in during that period. It's completely wrong.
@@hayley1449 last year was a really hard and lonely year for me after he pass away. Luckily I have a pet dog with me and I only have my furry pal to talk to. I have friend but I do not disturb them since they have their own life and family. I only talk to them if they message me first. Others time I only focus on working to distract my mind. Whole year not going out since it is city lockdown period except for grocery and walking my furry pal.
I lived in Seoul for two years bc my dad was stationed there. The Korean people were so kind, so hospitable, they really made me feel welcome there. I can't imagine how such a cheerful people could have these problems - it breaks my heart. My heart goes out to y'all in Korea - living is hard, but nothing worthwhile comes easily. God bless this man who does this work.
The thing is they treated you kindly because you were a foreigner and perhaps white (yeah they are truly racist my friend couldn't walk in the evening because the police was behind him like a leech), but they're truly vicious to their kin, I've seen people get extremely severe burnout, (Chingu amiga, a youtuber) and the college students sleep less than 4h a day, their beauty standard is so nauseating and sickening to the point of madness and their ugly desire to get money just to trample over their colleagues.
If you met good people there, then you're lucky. But like the guy above me said, maybe they treat you differently because of your social status or even race. Just like any other countries, Koreans are not all bad and not all are good. They're humans, just like we are, imperfect in many ways
Both y'alls points make a lot of sense. It's like black folks in India or Conquistadors in the Americas, I guess. Here in America we're so used to seeing all sorts of races, we don't give it a second thought, whereas in broadly homogenous countries like Korea it's a totally different story. Thanks for contributing :D
@@anibalfull I completely agree and it also depends on the area you are living in. Being in Seoul and having his father in the military I'm betting a pretty good apartment and status. I've been living all over Korea for the past 8 years now and am NOT upper or even middle class. As a low class long-term foreigner it's rough. But it got its worst after moving with my husband and son to an area of low income in Suwon even into a basement apartment. Just enough foreigners to give people a bad taste and it has been the worst 2.5 years of my time in Korea. When I say everyday someone had to say some racist remark towards me or worse our Korean American son... I mean literally at least once every single day. Get out of the upper class areas and Korea has a whole other side just like any other country. So happy to be moving in just two weeks far away from here for the sake of our family. On the other hand though, just like anywhere there are amazing people too. Maybe like minding people all flock to the same areas to live, I'm not sure but there are both good and bad. Hopefully the good shines out the bad ^^
I watched Move to Heaven awhile back and it has been one of my fave shows ever since. Finally seeing the person that inspired the show...no words can describe how amazing, beautiful, but also solemn it is.
Bless this man and to everyone involved in the cleanup process once a person had already committed suicide, was murdered, or was suffering from various illnesses. No matter how hard and devastating it is for them to endure the weight of their jobs, I still find it very fascinating how they keep a deceased person’s mementos neat and organized. It’s like they’re treasuring the things that were once valuable in a certain person’s past lifetime.
God bless this guy, showing respect to the deceased is an incredibly noble act. This video is like a short lesson on the value of life and the struggles that people go through, not everyone lives glossy lives as most of us would believe with the instagram generation
I recognized this from “Move to Heaven” kdrama, and knowing that there are true profession such as this, I really wish they have enough energy to go through it everyday. Because it must be hard to see the ‘remnants of memories’. Best wishes for all the crew and all kind people!
Anyone who has lost someone under these or similar circumstances can attest to how important a job this is. I'm deeply appreciative of people who perform this sort of service. I'm especially moved by how respectful and reverent we see them being in the video.
hearing the unfortunate ways many lonely, financially-struggling human beings lose hope on life itself is heartbreaking. So many lives, abruptly left behind. really opened my eyes.
in times like these where people are desperately lonely it’s important to be here for one another no matter how little you know the person. everyone suffers from the human condition of being alone, and you know how it feels, it’s cold and horrible. it doesn’t take much to help your fellow man feel like someone cares.
It's heartbreaking to see how so many people are passing like this, leaving the world thinking no one loves or cares or that there's no way out... But in the aftermath of their passing you and your crew show them all the kindness, grace, respect and love. It takes a lot out of a person emotionally to do your job and I thank the Lord above that you and your crew are there for these people when no one was or able to be there for these people. My heart, prayers and deepest sympathies goes to them. You are an amazing person
I think this is a great service he is providing. My mom just passed away last week. I have been by her side for 33 years. She was ill the past 10 years I was her care taker. I never left her side. It has been unspeakably hard going through her things trying to figure out what keep and donate and sell. I wish a service like this existed in the US with someone with the same level of care and respect for what they are doing like this man has would be helpful in those times.
What a gentle and deep soul. The fact that the cleaning up and clearing up is done by someone is in a way a tribute to that life which passed away. Albeit late, some loving thoughts followed them after their passage.
I know that he is the guy who wrote Move to Heaven and it's based on his story and experiences as a trauma cleaner.. it's an amazing kdrama and his stories are just so inspiring. This guy is amazing!
2:11 - 2:40 This part really hit me. "I wonder what she was thinking in her last moments, when she decided to leave everything behind." I often think this about people who have passed and commited suicide. I sometimes think it would be easier to off myself as well but I will never have nor do I want the strength to do such a task and I recognise that death isnt what I truly want in life until its my time. However hard things have been for me, I really do love life at the end of the day. I hope that I leave or have left something(s) positive when that time comes. There is so much in life BUT I can understand the feeling and thought of just giving it all up to just rest for the final time...to no longer worry and stress over the struggles it takes to make it in this vast, expensive world that seems to lack compassion at even the barest level.... I see people's little stakes or memorials on the side of the highway, or sidealks etc and the very least I do is vocalize "Rest in peace." My hope is they may hear my voice whatever they are and know they haven't been forgotten and there is still someone on earth who doesnt even know them but I will take the time, however little to let them know they have been thought of and missed as a fellow human being. I often wish I could go back to the pure, innocent kid I was and how life was so full of color, excitement, joy and complete obliviousness. Long before I was tainted and learned how the worlds truley operates and how nasty it can get and is still getting. Of course, in the end I recognise that my situation is better than most others and I appreciate being born into a semi stable household. But the dread and sadness I feel for those who have nothing and feel so helpless that they would rather die to attain peace just breaks the very core of my heart. We need more love, compassion and understanding in the world and I try to give that out when I can. I'm no saint and I have my nasty moments but I still try to eliminate all negitivity on a daily basis and maybe I can attain that pure innocence in life once again. Sorry for any grammar errors. I just really felt compelled to write this down and share my thoughts and love with whoever will happen to read this. Someone in the world loves you(Me) and I hope that you may find the answers/help and compassion to keep fighting! Your not alone and there are so many of us out here fighting TOGETHER!
@nurlindafsihotang49 True and that even worse. Your childhood should be the best part of your beginning life, That's your purest and most free self. :(
@@ThE4EvRPs3GaMeR im guessing she became pregnant out of wedlock and thats a big no no to a lot of families in Korea, its very frowned upon and a lot of girls are disowned for it sadly, mixing all that with the emotions of growing a human inside of you, its beyond stressful im sure she probably just saw no other way put for herself or her baby
@@ThE4EvRPs3GaMeR mine as well, seeing the unopened box of baby toys and clothes hit me really hard, she wanted to have her child, she clearly was trying so hard to push through whatever she dealing with, I hope shes at peace with her baby 🙁
As someone who's studying psychology I really wanna help people heal and look at the brighter side of life. I know a lot of circumstances are inevitable but I'm gonna do my best to help people overcome their pain in someway or other. I started studying psychology because I received help when I was at a point where everything was falling apart and I want to do the same to how many ever people I could. So if you're reading this I hope you know there are people who could reach out for help and there is always spring after winter so don't give up. I love you and I hope my love reaches each one of you who is suffering in silence 💜💜💜
This man is so well spoken and has such a deep understanding and respect for those he sees move onto the afterlife. It’s beautiful. As someone who struggled with depression and attempted suicide before; this was sobering and heartbreaking to see. But still so beautiful.
Appreciate that someone like him exist to do this kind of process. When I watched the KDrama Move to Heaven which was inspired on Things You Left Behind as Mr. Kim Sae-byol wrote in his essay, you'd feel different kinds of emotions. People have stories to tell until their final moments and it is heart warming that trauma cleaners exist to do the final process of the deceased which is to tidy up what they've left behind, with this act the departed can be at peace after an untimely death.
this appeared in my suggested videos and I'm finding out just now that move to heaven was based on his essay book🥺 it's really amazing seeing the real people behind a story. huge respect to them
It's the most heartbreaking thing I ever watched on TH-cam, being in the middle of youth myself, it's hard to live but let's hope, as this time too shall pass. Courage to those to who are struggling and have the light of hope in your heart. Start with loving yourself!
This 5:49 minute video made me sad, grateful, and hopeful at the same time. Sad because many have died lonely, desperate, and hopeless. But it also made me grateful because I have my family with me, despite the pandemic and its effects to our economics. Mr. Kim also gave me hope because of his words. Thank you, Sir Kim for helping those who are left behind. Thank you also for always taking time say a little prayer and reverence to those who died. My respect to you!
I'm seeing a whole new S.Korea through this video, not the "Happy/Dreamy" one. It's very real. It's so heart-breaking. Thanks to Mr. Kim and team for being so kind and courageous. My sincere prayers for the deceased.
What a lovely human being he is and what a very worthwhile job he and his colleagues carry out. It is truly heartbreaking that people take their own lives and feel lost or unable to reach out to others.
What a truly lovely man. It must be an incredibly difficult job to carry out and emotionally challenging. The respect and care he and his team put into their work is incredibly moving.
Still doing this for my grandparents' house. There's things they set down in 1970, so similar to things I set down "temporarily" to pick up later... It'll take much longer. They were hoarders. I can't get over how every THING I own, no matter how temporary it was supposed to be, can outlive me.
This guy is efficient and poetic with his words. You know in the right moment where you see his anger like when he talked about how people in search of help get denied or cannot find anything. You see the happiness when could help people with his channel. You see how efficient and to the point he is, so he does deliver a message successfully without losing the purpose of said delivery.
I feel really bad but empathetic with these people. I used to have really bad depression around 10 years ago which I’ve recovered from, but lately have found myself dipping back into a low state. On the outside I appear to be successful, well travelled, wealthy, but I feel so goddamn lonely in a way no one will understand. It’s like I never wanted any of these things society has given to me. Old friends who I’ve invested time into think I’m now a rich spoilt kid with new circles, and new acquaintances don’t give a sh*t about who I really am, only what they can gain from knowing me. I’m forever busy working, travelling and meeting new people, but it’s like I’ve been photoshopped into a crowd of people - I’m there but not mentally. It’s so hard for me to truly connect with anyone. I’m not suicidal but can sense that numbness coming back to me which is so worrying… hope everyone out there who’s going through a hard time can overcome it with the correct mindset!
You’re making me cry all over again. Sometimes we all feel like outsiders looking in, not feeling like we belong anywhere. I don’t know what to say to you, except that you have family and friends who love you and care about you. Although you may feel like you are alone, you are not alone. Please take care and be well
Sad 😞 So many people who give up and choose to end their lives, The compassion this man shows for the Deceased is remarkable , showing so much respect ✊
Thank you for sharing your story. It is heart breaking 💔 😢 to hear the story of so many people in South Korea. The change you are working towards is admirable.
Kim Sae-byul is the writer of the essay "Things Left Behind" that inspired the TV series "Move To Heaven".

The book already translated and published in my country. The synopsis was interesting, but haven't had chance to buy it yet. So this man is the author... hopefully i can buy his book later
@@condorX2 I thought she lost the baby
The story of the guy who starved to death and the person who sent him their address and asked them to clean up after he took his life really got to me
I think many of us are prideful to ask for help and not wanting to ask for help from family. Maybe we think it’s an inconvenience for them and figure we could do it on our own. While many are are alone by choice, there are others who are cut off from families. I have a cousin in Korea whose father is not speaking to him because he has not passed his exams. My uncle blames it on laziness. I think there’s an age limit and he’s on his last chance. I can see how many end up lonely and ostracized, especially in this present culture. I don’t know the specifics of that or any other job this gentleman have had to perform, but it’s at least it’s giving a glimpse of the plights many are facing, such as starvation, loneliness, and suicide.
yea... Starvation in a modern society is disgusting. Young men without family are discard-able. I believe Universal Basic Income is the solution. If he just had a little bit of money coming in monthly or by-weekly he would have survived.
@@boecat8054 in that aspect, our country is very healthy and not just in the family circle, but in work too, I live in Spain and the rate of S***de in young people is least than 4%
I think he would do it either way. So leaving that comment may have given him a little bit of comfort before death, knowing his body would be found quickly and his belongings taken care of. 💔
Tbh, it's kind of amazing to know that there will be someone who'll clean up after me.
I struggle to keep things tidy so i always planned on cleaning my entire room and my body if i ever decide to take my own life.
The fact they bow and give their respects before they start cleaning... absolutely beautiful.. living with depression all my life i fear about what happens after i pass.. but you gave them the respect they deserved and so deeply wanted. these people are truly angels for their work.
All your life? This is gonna sound harsh but you need to get over it, as in you need to over power your negative thoughts and feelings. All those thoughts piling up, are fooling you into thinking your life is hell. You have to be stronger than those thoughts. You gotta change something in your life, start working out, move to a new city, get a new skill, hobby, etc. Living with depression can have a negative effect on your physical health too, and it accumulates. Theres a lot of bad things in the world, and you gotta be stronger than all of them. And forget fearing about what happens after you pass, it happens to everybody. Just improve your life every day and focus on positive things.
@@DesertStateInEU so easy to tell to someone with depression .. this is not easy like this
@@TheTrooperMB "easy to tell"? lol What am I supposed to do over comments? Write it down with words how hard it was to write that comment? Its easy to tell, because I've been there on rock bottom, closer to death than you'll ever know, and I made it out and now nothing can take me down. If anything you should be thanking people who are telling all of you to keep fighting and get your life together, because that is the only thing you can do after all. I'm leading by example, all you gotta do is follow.
@@DesertStateInEU Dude I know you feel like you're being helpful, but this is actually an ineffective way to treat depression
@@sparks7674 Wrong on 2 things. First, I don't "feel" like I'm being helpful, I KNOW I'm being helpful because this is whats rational, since I have the experience to know.
Second, if you feel like this an ineffective way to treat depression then you clearly know what is effective. Why don't you share that with us?

So heartbreaking, especially hearing about the young man who starved to death after he couldn’t qualify for any financial assistance. Oh man, I can’t stop crying
That was rough. I went through a starvation semester in college. I would almost pass out but luckily I was able to graduate and leave the next semester. Not only did I not have much money for food I was in so much pain I couldn’t feed myself or walk to the grocery store to buy food. This was before delivery services we have now. I started having an emergency savings after that because I NEVER want to go through that every again!
@@AlejandraXio I hope you are doing well now.
@@AlejandraXio this broke my heart, i hope you're doing a lot better now ❤

When i was still student, i have some good friends, we always share food. We take turn to pay and cook. We're not rich but we never starve, we make sure the 4 of us eat good meal 3x everyday.
@@AlejandraXio exactly emergency funds should be a must, we don't know when that could happen to us. Thanks for sharing.
I hope this guy can keep doing what he does.
And never lose his light and will to live.
I remember when I was 14 or 15. I had a friend who i didn't really know that well tbh
but me him and a bunch of other dudes would chill outside do teenager stuff.
We all went to his house one day and were just shocked at the state of his home no one said anything but we didn't feel comfortable chilling there.
It was SO SO bad. Like a landfill site. piles of paper, garbage and random items, everywhere, waist high and his mom sitting there like 600 lbs overweight.
That very day I made the decision that I was going to change this. I came back the next day with garbage bags and cleaning supplies that i stole from my own home.
I worked hard for hours, my friend, his mom, and the rest of my boys telling me to stop, but I kept going (and eventually they started helping me lol)
I remember his mom saying "Kirk, where'd you find this kid?"
because before when I was just chilling with him, he and his mom were always at odds with each other, fighting all the time.
Sometimes, I'd hear his mom blaming him for some of his choices and even some of her own.
Anyways, I made his place look beautiful by organizing and sorting, separating important documents from garbage and I even found long lost items that were of sentimental value
I returned all of it.
And once I was done, I felt there was nothing left for me to do here and I said "see ya tomorrow" and I never chilled with him or any of the rest of my boys again hahaha XD.
I will always remember how when i was leaving my friend thanked me truly.
Our friendship was brief, but during that period to have made such a difference and impact on someones life and to then just disappear.
Feels extra good for some strange reason.
I found my dude on IG the other day and it looks like he and his mom have settled their differences and they live happily and his mom lost a ridiculous amount of weight.
Made my day. Sometimes people just need a hand cleaning their house and doing that i feel can make a world of difference to them.
Give them clear view of life going forward and hope.
You are a good person. I hope life treats you well.
Awesome
You’re a good soul. The world is lucky to have you
That was so nice of you to do that , really great job man ❤
you're amazing
So grateful that someone like Kim Sael-byul is doing this kind of specialized service. He has saved lives in his own way, and for the people who believe in the afterlife, I'm sure he's laid many suffering souls to rest.

Given how badly a place smells of the corpse and how the smell is so nauseating and difficult to get rid of, I have the highest respect for trauma cleaning services and this man who runs it as it is not an easy job at all and he does it with such respect.
I mean... he wears a mask obv
@@diegoaespitia if you think the mask 100% suppress the smell, they ain't.
Oh don't forget the police who attend to these cases too
What is the smell like? Genuinely curious. The most nauseating smell that comes to my memory is when my dog got skunked, ran inside and dragged the oil across my bed sheets.
@@InStevenWeTrust you’ve never smelt a dead rat ever?
I have no words for what they do. It’s not just a service, but they really care. They are a blessing.
This is like "Move to Heaven" kdrama which i recommend to all to watching it...the kdrama really makes me inspire and grateful and also respect to those trauma cleaning services cause it takes a lot of courage and strong minded to clean all their customers who had passed away even the tragic ones
i was going to commnt tht ( painfull kdrama to watch but yet reality🥺😣😣😣
Agreed. It was a beautiful drama. Anyone who is doing this job is an absolute angel.

He understands how tough life can be on some people and does his best to help in any way. I wish we had a couple of billion people with these characteristics. Somehow it is reassuring. Oh, kind Sir, thank you for being who you are and caring.
He told his story eith wide open eyes, but you could see it was glassy. He tried not to shed a tears while telling those story
I’m also someone with suicidal thoughts, been like this since 2017. After my parents both passed away in 2019, it’s even harder to fight the thoughts. But then I stumbled upon Move to Heaven and also some of this person’s videos too after that. And true to his words, I actually got the courage to continue my life after watching it. It’s the feeling of “Ah, so I’m not suffering all alone in this world.” And “I’ve been living in loneliness so I don’t want to also die in loneliness”.
Thank you. You’re doing so much for the death, but you’re also doing so much for us the living ones. Sincerely, thank you.
Edit:
Hi, everyone. I didn’t know that I’d received so much warm and comforting words like this. Sincerely thank you so much for your care even when we don’t know each other. It makes me kinda have faith that there are still a lot of love here in this jaded world.
I’m holding onto my life as much as I can. And I’m still going to counseling when I feel too overwhelmed. I’ve been writing my journals again too to help me to understand myself better. And I’m trying my best to accept what happened & to let go what I can’t control. I hope little by little, there will be days where I love my life and myself. And I sincerely wish you all the same too 💛
You have many people who worry about you, even your parents in heaven. You must carry on and live a happy life, the life your parents wanted to live with you 🫂
I hope that more happy days will come in your life.❤️ Sending you my best wishes. Thank you for living.

i had a friend in Korea too. She was very cheerful, she never showed any signs of her getting tired of life. But, even if I'm thousands of miles away from her, I really felt something was wrong. I tried my best to contact someone there to go check up on her every day. After a week of talking and trying to give her courage and reason to live, she took her own life - painlessly. She still appears on my dreams sometimes and always say that one korean line, "조심해" (take care). I was, useless.
Don't put that burden on yourself bro. You all you could and it was just a terrible situation. It happens all the time and we just have no control over it. I think you should know, that you were probably a really special person to her and she would wanna see you thrive in life!
Lmao
Was she your crush in your dream? She still wanted to do it, so she did it, when you didnt know what was her problem and so you talking to her helps nothing, when she still wante to do it, when she got her own problems.
@@somedude9849
He said after his comment I was useless, so why you think he would be very special person to her, when wasent he useless, when she still wanted to kill herself.
@@jout738 With depression and suicide it's hard. When someone has it, they can have all the support they need in life and still end up dead. In order for them to be saved or to make change, the depressed person must do it themselves and find that inner strength. All us outsiders could do is help as they do it. I've faced this exact thing my whole life and I had to make that change. It's not easy, in fact it's one if the most difficult things I've ever done.
I am lucky to live in a rural area of a poor country. In my country no matter how poor we are it is so rare to die from starvation. We always take care of one another. And sometimes even if it is annoying we are lucky to have nosey neighbors. We normally exchange food even if someone didn't ask. We share what grows in our trees with each other. Industrialization and urbanization can be a curse sometimes. People fighting to survive so forget to check on others. Sometimes I wonder what is the meaning of all these technology if we cannot be happy and peaceful. I am so sorry for that man who died of starvation. I wish nobody will ever go through something like that ever again. Not even an animal

Same, I also wonder how hard life is in those big countries or big cities where even with thousands of dollars of salary they still had to take a loan and had a big debt that they need to pay till the next generation. I live in not a really poor city not also a big city. It's still a suburban province so the living expense is not too big, we still can live well here with my mom only making about 150$ a month and a bit of mine about $50 and we can still live in a house with 2 bedroom a proper bathroom and sanitation, with wifi and also with a proper food every day. And we never take a loan from anywhere. So after hearing the story of the life of the people who live in a big city I'm kinda grateful for what I have now.

In Japan it's called "Kodokushi" (孤独死) and it's just as saddening to see how this problem is not uncommon across borders.

So sad. Years ago I saw a documentary on a company that cleaned up after American AIDS patients died. Many of them had been completely shunned by friends and family and were living alone when the disease killed them. So, when the company cleaned up, all of the victim's personal effects like photos and Mementos of the personal life they had before they got AIDS, were just bagged up and deposited in the dump. I can't imagine my family not wanting all of the photos and videos that I have of all the good times we had together. It just makes me so sad. 😞
Maybe i think its bcs of AIDS that the parents didnt want to spread ? Idk correct me if im wrong
Can you give me the source? I'm curious
@@Katakon674 Sorry but that was several years ago. I saw it on TV when the AIDS epidemic was still in the news. I think I saw it on PBS, but I'm not sure.
That's heartbreaking. The whole way it was dealt with back in the day was cruel. They likely thought their belongings were "contaminated" and there was no empathy - I remember the constantvblaming in the news. How when people died it reported in such a cold manner. Shameful times.
Man the respect this guy has....the fact that he sees his job as helping collect mementos for the bereaced...its truly a beautiful way of looking at it. I appreciate this man and his team.
I cried so hard when he talked about the young woman who died surrounded by baby clothes. I felt that. I really did because I know exactly how she feels. Not to want to hold a baby in my arms but to hold a dream and have it seen through. That hope and that dream is what she was holding onto in those clothes. I'm glad someone is treating these people with respect and that this man cares for the places where they died with such care. I pray no one has to endure suffering like this.
There are comments of people thinking that this woman died while pregnant and she took her own life despite the child being inside her. But now that you said that dream dying thing I think that the poor lady must've had a miscarriage and there was really no way for her to hold her baby.
This guy needs to be given a national award for his service and contribution to society in ways most civil servants will never amount to
aren't you overacting or some sht. He makes it for living, that's not a charity however that may sound and whatever does that mean
@@koperkowypies thats true, he made a bussiness after suicide rate spiked and elderly died way too often. Hes doing his job just like a mortician would. Its sad that there are many young poeple commiting suicide but even that can create bussiness opportunites which he took.
You can clearly see how traumatic these experiences are for him. I truly have the upmost respect for everyone in this line of work
I hope that Mr. Kim has his own place of happiness to come home to after such a difficult yet very important job ❤️ I can imagine that it can be draining sometimes, especially when the suicide rates were high during the pandemic. I wish for a good future for Mr. Kim. Please stay healthy, caring, happy and know that many people are thankful for the job that you do!
I was wondering the same thing. Is he married? Does he have a significant other? How about children? Pets? He seems to be such a kind-hearted man.
Did you see his garage? Its a Milwaukee heaven hahah bro is doing great and it's not like people will stop dying
Kim Sael-byul deserves a metal for doing such a difficult job. I'm so grateful for him and his amazing compassionate soul. I feel so bad about the young man who died due to starvation. How can a country like S.Korea not feeding its' people? Are there no food pantries? Please help each others and let's get through this together! Fighting!
There aren't big systems of food pantries because there are different social structures, taking handouts has traditionally been perceived as shameful. They have things like 'Big Sister' charities, where a volunteer connects with shut-in young men and encourages them to get out/helps with forms/emotionally supports. The focus is very much on becoming part of society and working. The issue of men falling out of the system and dying alone is recognised as a significant problem in society. Access to welfare supports are there. But people with psych problems often have difficulty negotiating and staying in systems due to depression/apathy/trust issues. It's why most countries over 30% of homeless people have significant mental illness issues.
As someone who has struggled and still struggles with suicide, I find this incredibly inspirational, it brought me to tears. Anyone out there, please remember this, just because you feel a certain way now, doesn't mean you are doomed to feel that way forever. People change, feelings change and life is like a river, always flowing, always moving forward, but never stagnant and forever changing. Happiness comes and goes, but an appreciation for life can be learned and felt forever. Take time to notice and appreciate the little things, smell the roses, watch nature, live in the moment, be yourself. Things WILL get better, it can be a long and arduous journey, but you will eventually make it to the other side and find solace and happiness. Time heals all wounds. There are resources out there and people who love you, even if you feel isolated and alone, you need to reach out to friends, family and society and find comfort and understanding in the people who have felt the same way and still made it. I believe in you! Please, don't give up!
Hey whatever your going through keep pushing. I’m rooting for you stranger. It’s the circle of life ,you will get better.
@@niharikasadanand2131 thank you for the kind words 💜 I am still persevering!!
Please don't give up. Keep fighting. You don't know me but I'm rooting for you!!!!
I'm rooting for your happiness!
@@niharikasadanand2131 Don't just give these people motivational words...reach out to them, show them that you care. People with depression just want someone to be there for them, someone they can talk to.
After watching the series ‘Move to heaven’ i gained so much more respect to these people. I have looked in it more deeper and i learned so much about it. Also why they do this and how they reach out to the family members etc,, i really appreciate these people.
Move to Heaven got me bawling my eyes out so hard and yeah this was the first time I ever watched something regarding this job
It's same in Japan, the term is 'kodokushi'. Stress from work, following strict norms and the cold society...which leads to suicide.
This situation is such an ache...they were lonely when they were alive, and so in their death.
May they have peace in the other side of the world 🕊️
According to christians, suicide is a heavy "sin"
@@ryzenryne8747 as a Catholic it's hard for me to reconcile suicide as a mortal sin from a place of empathy. I definitely think it's wrong to squander the most precious gift of life, but I fully recognize that extreme depression or other mental illnesses can lead people to feel they have no other options. We pray for the repose of their souls
@@Paintplayer1 for people who commit suicide, life is not a gift, it's a huge burden.
@@apecks that's not theirs to decide. Like I said, I'm empathetic, but depression does not mean people have to be asses to those trying to help them
@@Paintplayer1 It is theirs to decide since it's their life. And ofc it doesn't mean that, but if you try to help without essentially asking for consent to want help then it's greatly insulting.
You sir deserve a medal of some kind. This type of job is not easy and watching you do it with the utmost respect for the deceased is admirable. 👏👏👏
On behalf of someone who has experienced suicidal thoughts and had suicidal family members and friends, thank you very much to this man for providing us with a service we desperately need in this vulnerable time.
When they take the moment to bow and pay respect to the deceased before the service, it's very heartfell.
"Lonely deaths are deaths that could have been prevented."
Human contact is crucial. We need each other. My oldest son overheard me telling someone that I'm not afraid of dying, but I'm afraid of dying alone. Since then I see him almost every day. If I don't see him we talk on the phone. I no longer have that fear...🌹
cried watching this… the guy who starved had nobody… no neighbours, no friends, no relatives… no one to check up on him. He must’ve been incapable of asking for help himself.. to have to suffer a long and painful demise… thank you Mr Kim, for giving him a respectful & dignified send off.. atleast he was in good hands in the end.

the drama move to heaven was all in my head while watching this. we really appreciate your service. I’m certain that trauma cleaning is not an easy task and need lots of courage to do it! please don’t give up everyone life is worth living!
I wish I could shake this compassionate man's hand.
Years ago my mother was a teacher in the school where I also studied. She used to teach history in middleschool and in one of the classes, she used to see a set of twin girls..My mom used to notice them so much because until then she had never seen twins who looked exactly like carbon copies..these kids didn't have any friends and they always did things together. It's like one could not be seen without the other..During the recess hours they could always been seen walking along the large school grounds holding hands.. Their father was a doctor while mother was a nurse and they were from different religions. In India, it's a huge deal if people marry from different religions or even castes..Now things are changing but this was in the 90s and even family would disown their children for marrying from different religions. So this couple were also not in touch with their families. Then somehow they fell into some huge debt and was unable to escape the pressure. So this family got some food prepared and poisoned it which ended up in all of them dying..When the school authorities came to know about this tragedy, here is how the headmistress who was a nun responded "Suicides shouldn't be encouraged so no one of the staffs or nuns should go to their funeral"..Imagine how cruel that statement is. I still don't understand how suicide can be ''encouraged'. No one kills themselves because they feel that dying is cool..Its just that facing the death is easier than the intensity of pain they go through.May be if one person existed to whom they could turn to in times of difficulty, they would have abandoned the plan. It's that when man loses hope, everything gets so dark that they can't see what's beyond their eyes and it forces them to take these decisions. How heartbroken must people be when the only option left for them is to end their lives. I was thinking about them when I came across the story of trauma cleaners in 'Move to heaven'..And right now, when I see this video, I am immensely grateful that people like Kim Sae-byul are there in this world. What a great job he is doing to preserve the memories of the ones who has passed and it's a wonderful way to respect that fact they once lived among us. In a way, I feel that the word 'momento collector' is synonymous to kindness and we must appreciate the efforts they do to honor someone who is no longer amongst us.
Hi Ami - so beautifully written. No one wants to die just because........ the loss of hope is what makes people take this step. And when religious leaders talk like this it's shameful. On the contrary they should encourage people to give them a dignified farewell. With the number of suicides increasing daily, I too sometimes feel is life worth living ?
@@a.k.p.4061 I feel that there is nothing more valuable than life. This breath and this moment is all we have.So it is essential to protect it and help others who needs support at all cost.
This whole anecdote is tragic. May they rest in peace.
Call me an asshole, but I believe suicide is the easy way out. No one strong goes through with suicide, however in my experience, I also know it takes balls to fully commit to it. I myself do not condone it, nor will I have sympathy for someone who “couldn’t” handle mental anguish because they didn’t feel like it anymore(Theres a difference between dying of heartbreak and meditated suicide). This doesn’t mean I don’t love my brothers though, but ultimately we are all going to answer for the actions committed in our lifetime.
Those kids didn’t commit suicide. Why did this mum say not to even attend theirs? Suicide is for desperate people. I can’t fathom condemning someone who is already down so low. Disgusting behavior from a religion who preaches love.
I think Korean people should be encouraged to donate to its own nation to reduce poverty. I've recently read that some famous people did donate millions of wons to countries like Ukraine, Armenia etc . Why don't you donate to poor people in your country , older people with disabilities, or younger ones that can not even feed themselves and die of starvation ?
Thats a great fact ,they need to donate to their fellow citizens first.
People like to follow and support popular trends they see on news. But are oblivious to things right in front of them
Donations and charities are only temporary solutions and not every needy benefited from it.
I once was asked by my teacher “would you help feed African children by sending a lot of money” and I said “yes if I could” then he asked “there’s children in our own community who don’t have enough will you ignore them and save those across the sea?”
it hit me like a ton of bricks….at some point in my life I was also the recipient of that help.
I never thought anything of it because when my friends or I didn’t have money or anything to eat We would share half our food no problem it wasn’t even a thought. We knew we didn’t have money but somehow I never was dwelling on the fact because I had for most of my life been poor.
These donations do not actually reach people who aren't within the jurisdiction of a charity or orphanage or an organization. I wish go fund me was more common everywhere in the globe, so that people knew who to help
My roommate died in december 2021 just right before Christmas from septic shock and I felt so lost at that time . I'm so glad that I was able to reach out to both my family , her family and my friends for support and to do a massive clean out of her bedroom. I'm also glad that I was able to keep her cat too because having another living creature to look after kept me going throughout that sad time. Now, I'm paying it forward by helping out my friends and neighbors when they need help.
what a wonderful compassionate man
Listening to him telling his stories and that last one made me cry a river... i feel like i am someone who will die alone i did have the same thoughts but i choose to strive and be alive and yes have someone beside u that would constantly remind u how precious life is. Being extremly introvert is hard but im really pushing my self to be out there even if it just for an hour or few just to refresh my thoughts and keep me away from thinking of negatibe thougths. So please if u have suicidal thoughts snap out of it and ask for help may it be a doctor, a friend, or a family.. u can do this dont fall for that deep thoughts and live life one step at a time.
You're right, one step at a time❤
Thanks for this, I hope you’re doing ok too
My uncle passed away alone in his apparent a couple of years ago, it took eight months for someone to notice and another three months until we found out. He was estranged from our family and lived in another country from us. After he was found no one contacted anyone in our family and the local authorities threw away all his possessions, we only found out about his death because my aunt googled our old family house where he lived. Someone actually caring would have been nice, he had our contact information in his possession and they could have easily found us if they had tried.
How on earth is this possible.. 8 months ??? What about the rent etc.. and the smell.. 8 months is almost a year. It's an apt complex .. nobody notices anything,???
@@bettylee234It takes a long time to evict someone due to missing rent payments. Like several months. And anyone from the apartment complex staff can't just enter your unit unless it's to make an emergency repair that's affecting another unit. As for neighbors not complaining about the smell, I have no idea. Maybe the ventilation and walls are set up in such a way that they can't smell anything from the other unit.
A friend of my sisters friend hung himself in his restaurant because of the debts he had due to the quarantine. I myself wanted to take my own life, after the loss of my sister in 2018 and because of my bad health. I am grateful that there are people like this men, who provide this service and i am also grateful for the people that take care of the those who deeply need it.
No, his debts weren't "due to C.", they was due to restrictions and mass abuse. Please make that distinction. They are still doing this to us, and will try and bring them back.
@@thursoberwick1948 Yes i know this.
@@soleil7259 You need to say this though. Too many people talk as if it's the illness that did this. It's actuallly mismanagement and abuse on a global scale.
What kind of idiots force people to stop making any money, but then also do little or nothing to stop banks, tax collectors and debt collectors coming in during that period. It's completely wrong.
You can overcome this..life is not a bed of roses for most of the people. So lets thrive . Dont give up..Fighting..
Be patient and stay strong my friend.. There is something that await you in this life. Hope ya doing well':) remember my word. Be patient
This broke my heart into a million pieces 😭. Mr Kim is a blessing, it takes a very special person to do that job.
he's such a strong kind man, God bless him🙏

@@hayley1449 last year was a really hard and lonely year for me after he pass away. Luckily I have a pet dog with me and I only have my furry pal to talk to. I have friend but I do not disturb them since they have their own life and family. I only talk to them if they message me first. Others time I only focus on working to distract my mind. Whole year not going out since it is city lockdown period except for grocery and walking my furry pal.
im surrounded by my family yet i feel so lonely.. i even tried to end it all but idk i guess im just holding on to hope:(
I lived in Seoul for two years bc my dad was stationed there. The Korean people were so kind, so hospitable, they really made me feel welcome there. I can't imagine how such a cheerful people could have these problems - it breaks my heart. My heart goes out to y'all in Korea - living is hard, but nothing worthwhile comes easily.
God bless this man who does this work.
The thing is they treated you kindly because you were a foreigner and perhaps white (yeah they are truly racist my friend couldn't walk in the evening because the police was behind him like a leech), but they're truly vicious to their kin, I've seen people get extremely severe burnout, (Chingu amiga, a youtuber) and the college students sleep less than 4h a day, their beauty standard is so nauseating and sickening to the point of madness and their ugly desire to get money just to trample over their colleagues.
If you met good people there, then you're lucky. But like the guy above me said, maybe they treat you differently because of your social status or even race. Just like any other countries, Koreans are not all bad and not all are good. They're humans, just like we are, imperfect in many ways
Both y'alls points make a lot of sense. It's like black folks in India or Conquistadors in the Americas, I guess. Here in America we're so used to seeing all sorts of races, we don't give it a second thought, whereas in broadly homogenous countries like Korea it's a totally different story.
Thanks for contributing :D
@@Porky1822 ay no problem
@@anibalfull I completely agree and it also depends on the area you are living in. Being in Seoul and having his father in the military I'm betting a pretty good apartment and status. I've been living all over Korea for the past 8 years now and am NOT upper or even middle class. As a low class long-term foreigner it's rough. But it got its worst after moving with my husband and son to an area of low income in Suwon even into a basement apartment. Just enough foreigners to give people a bad taste and it has been the worst 2.5 years of my time in Korea. When I say everyday someone had to say some racist remark towards me or worse our Korean American son... I mean literally at least once every single day. Get out of the upper class areas and Korea has a whole other side just like any other country. So happy to be moving in just two weeks far away from here for the sake of our family. On the other hand though, just like anywhere there are amazing people too. Maybe like minding people all flock to the same areas to live, I'm not sure but there are both good and bad. Hopefully the good shines out the bad ^^
I watched Move to Heaven awhile back and it has been one of my fave shows ever since. Finally seeing the person that inspired the show...no words can describe how amazing, beautiful, but also solemn it is.
These people do one of the hardest job it requires to be emotionally strong, I admire them deeply because they remain empathetic and compassionate.
Bless this man and to everyone involved in the cleanup process once a person had already committed suicide, was murdered, or was suffering from various illnesses. No matter how hard and devastating it is for them to endure the weight of their jobs, I still find it very fascinating how they keep a deceased person’s mementos neat and organized. It’s like they’re treasuring the things that were once valuable in a certain person’s past lifetime.
God bless this guy, showing respect to the deceased is an incredibly noble act.
This video is like a short lesson on the value of life and the struggles that people go through, not everyone lives glossy lives as most of us would believe with the instagram generation
So grateful for people like Mr. Kim who, I think, were placed here to help others. His sincerity and compassion can be sensed.
I recognized this from “Move to Heaven” kdrama, and knowing that there are true profession such as this, I really wish they have enough energy to go through it everyday. Because it must be hard to see the ‘remnants of memories’. Best wishes for all the crew and all kind people!
Anyone who has lost someone under these or similar circumstances can attest to how important a job this is. I'm deeply appreciative of people who perform this sort of service. I'm especially moved by how respectful and reverent we see them being in the video.
God Bless this man and all those like him who have to deal with such tragedies on a daily basis. His service is truly born from compassion.
hearing the unfortunate ways many lonely, financially-struggling human beings lose hope on life itself is heartbreaking. So many lives, abruptly left behind. really opened my eyes.
in times like these where people are desperately lonely it’s important to be here for one another no matter how little you know the person. everyone suffers from the human condition of being alone, and you know how it feels, it’s cold and horrible. it doesn’t take much to help your fellow man feel like someone cares.
We need to be more in contact with fellow human beings.
It's heartbreaking to see how so many people are passing like this, leaving the world thinking no one loves or cares or that there's no way out... But in the aftermath of their passing you and your crew show them all the kindness, grace, respect and love. It takes a lot out of a person emotionally to do your job and I thank the Lord above that you and your crew are there for these people when no one was or able to be there for these people. My heart, prayers and deepest sympathies goes to them. You are an amazing person
This was so beautiful and sad, his level of empathy is just amazing.
Oh wow I watched a Korean Drama about this. Called "Move to Heaven". Amazing and deep respect to all of you doing this! ❤❤❤
I think this is a great service he is providing. My mom just passed away last week. I have been by her side for 33 years. She was ill the past 10 years I was her care taker. I never left her side. It has been unspeakably hard going through her things trying to figure out what keep and donate and sell.
I wish a service like this existed in the US with someone with the same level of care and respect for what they are doing like this man has would be helpful in those times.
Moving, feel for you, hope you're doing well, take care
Bless him and all the lost souls! May they and their families find peace!
God bless this man for being such a generous soul
What a gentle and deep soul. The fact that the cleaning up and clearing up is done by someone is in a way a tribute to that life which passed away. Albeit late, some loving thoughts followed them after their passage.
I know that he is the guy who wrote Move to Heaven and it's based on his story and experiences as a trauma cleaner.. it's an amazing kdrama and his stories are just so inspiring. This guy is amazing!
2:11 - 2:40 This part really hit me. "I wonder what she was thinking in her last moments, when she decided to leave everything behind." I often think this about people who have passed and commited suicide.
I sometimes think it would be easier to off myself as well but I will never have nor do I want the strength to do such a task and I recognise that death isnt what I truly want in life until its my time. However hard things have been for me, I really do love life at the end of the day. I hope that I leave or have left something(s) positive when that time comes. There is so much in life BUT I can understand the feeling and thought of just giving it all up to just rest for the final time...to no longer worry and stress over the struggles it takes to make it in this vast, expensive world that seems to lack compassion at even the barest level....
I see people's little stakes or memorials on the side of the highway, or sidealks etc and the very least I do is vocalize "Rest in peace." My hope is they may hear my voice whatever they are and know they haven't been forgotten and there is still someone on earth who doesnt even know them but I will take the time, however little to let them know they have been thought of and missed as a fellow human being.
I often wish I could go back to the pure, innocent kid I was and how life was so full of color, excitement, joy and complete obliviousness. Long before I was tainted and learned how the worlds truley operates and how nasty it can get and is still getting.
Of course, in the end I recognise that my situation is better than most others and I appreciate being born into a semi stable household. But the dread and sadness I feel for those who have nothing and feel so helpless that they would rather die to attain peace just breaks the very core of my heart.
We need more love, compassion and understanding in the world and I try to give that out when I can. I'm no saint and I have my nasty moments but I still try to eliminate all negitivity on a daily basis and maybe I can attain that pure innocence in life once again.
Sorry for any grammar errors. I just really felt compelled to write this down and share my thoughts and love with whoever will happen to read this. Someone in the world loves you(Me) and I hope that you may find the answers/help and compassion to keep fighting! Your not alone and there are so many of us out here fighting TOGETHER!
Some people dont even that pure view of the world as child. Because their surrounding.

As someone who's studying psychology I really wanna help people heal and look at the brighter side of life. I know a lot of circumstances are inevitable but I'm gonna do my best to help people overcome their pain in someway or other.

This man is so well spoken and has such a deep understanding and respect for those he sees move onto the afterlife. It’s beautiful.
As someone who struggled with depression and attempted suicide before; this was sobering and heartbreaking to see. But still so beautiful.
This reminds me of the K-drama "Move To Heaven"...
Really respect their job🙏
God bless this man and those precious souls he helped after their passing. Be kind to one another.
Appreciate that someone like him exist to do this kind of process. When I watched the KDrama Move to Heaven which was inspired on Things You Left Behind as Mr. Kim Sae-byol wrote in his essay, you'd feel different kinds of emotions. People have stories to tell until their final moments and it is heart warming that trauma cleaners exist to do the final process of the deceased which is to tidy up what they've left behind, with this act the departed can be at peace after an untimely death.
people that do this kind of job is like a blessing.
this appeared in my suggested videos and I'm finding out just now that move to heaven was based on his essay book🥺 it's really amazing seeing the real people behind a story. huge respect to them
It's the most heartbreaking thing I ever watched on TH-cam, being in the middle of youth myself, it's hard to live but let's hope, as this time too shall pass. Courage to those to who are struggling and have the light of hope in your heart. Start with loving yourself!
This 5:49 minute video made me sad, grateful, and hopeful at the same time. Sad because many have died lonely, desperate, and hopeless. But it also made me grateful because I have my family with me, despite the pandemic and its effects to our economics. Mr. Kim also gave me hope because of his words. Thank you, Sir Kim for helping those who are left behind. Thank you also for always taking time say a little prayer and reverence to those who died. My respect to you!
Heart of gold this man has. Thank you Kim Sael-byul
The respect shown is everything.
I'm seeing a whole new S.Korea through this video, not the "Happy/Dreamy" one. It's very real. It's so heart-breaking. Thanks to Mr. Kim and team for being so kind and courageous. My sincere prayers for the deceased.

high su*icide rates, toxic beauty standards, assault, to name a few.

What a lovely human being he is and what a very worthwhile job he and his colleagues carry out. It is truly heartbreaking that people take their own lives and feel lost or unable to reach out to others.
What a truly lovely man. It must be an incredibly difficult job to carry out and emotionally challenging. The respect and care he and his team put into their work is incredibly moving.
Still doing this for my grandparents' house. There's things they set down in 1970, so similar to things I set down "temporarily" to pick up later... It'll take much longer. They were hoarders. I can't get over how every THING I own, no matter how temporary it was supposed to be, can outlive me.

Everybody has a gift, and this man raises cleaning to loving grief therapy. Bless him.
Such an honourable service that he provides to those who are in need
They care, which is why I love these men even more as people should be more like them
This guy is efficient and poetic with his words. You know in the right moment where you see his anger like when he talked about how people in search of help get denied or cannot find anything. You see the happiness when could help people with his channel. You see how efficient and to the point he is, so he does deliver a message successfully without losing the purpose of said delivery.
I feel really bad but empathetic with these people. I used to have really bad depression around 10 years ago which I’ve recovered from, but lately have found myself dipping back into a low state. On the outside I appear to be successful, well travelled, wealthy, but I feel so goddamn lonely in a way no one will understand. It’s like I never wanted any of these things society has given to me. Old friends who I’ve invested time into think I’m now a rich spoilt kid with new circles, and new acquaintances don’t give a sh*t about who I really am, only what they can gain from knowing me. I’m forever busy working, travelling and meeting new people, but it’s like I’ve been photoshopped into a crowd of people - I’m there but not mentally. It’s so hard for me to truly connect with anyone. I’m not suicidal but can sense that numbness coming back to me which is so worrying… hope everyone out there who’s going through a hard time can overcome it with the correct mindset!
Hey dont think like this! There will always be someone to talk to ! If u want I can ! Pls stay healthy☀️
You’re making me cry all over again. Sometimes we all feel like outsiders looking in, not feeling like we belong anywhere. I don’t know what to say to you, except that you have family and friends who love you and care about you. Although you may feel like you are alone, you are not alone. Please take care and be well
Sad 😞 So many people who give up and choose to end their lives, The compassion this man shows for the Deceased is remarkable , showing so much respect ✊
