11-Year-Old Hero Ha-yul: From Lawyer Dreams to Lifesaving Feat, A Shining Star in the Making
When playing the piano, be calm and pretty,
A child who runs more happily and energetically than anyone else at the sports day.
This is Shin Ha-yul, who turned 11 this year.
In the video, Harul looked the healthiest of all.
Two months ago, he suddenly collapsed, saying he was feeling unwell.
He never regained consciousness and fell into a brain dead state.
And just recently, news was delivered that he had given new life to 5 people through brain-dead organ donation and became a star in the sky.
Five people were given new life thanks to Hayul Yang’s heart, lungs, liver, and both kidneys.
It is said that Ha-Yul Yang’s mother agreed to donate her daughter’s organs in the hopes of saving at least a part of her body.
It is not easy to make such a judgment in the face of the grief of losing a child.
This makes child organ donation an even more valuable and grateful decision.

It is said that only daughter Ha-Yul Yang was especially considerate, giving her mother, who was starting to run a pension, some of the money she had saved up since she was young.
We met with Ms. Koh Ha-yul’s mother over the phone. Let’s listen in for a moment.
[고 신하율 양 어머니 : (하율이는) 그냥 뭐든지 그냥 나눠주는 친구? 뭐든지 그냥 뭐든지 나눠줘요. 뭐든지. 자기가 아끼는 거 누가 갖고 싶어 한다라는 그런 표현이 있으면 집에 와서 자기 것을 챙겨 가지고 가서 그 친구 기분 나쁘지 않게 (주더라고요)]
Ha-Yul Yang’s mother said she was grateful that she was born as her daughter.
The recipient of the organ from the kind-hearted daughter said that she hopes that Ha-ryul will also live a good life with good health.
Ha-Yul’s dream was to become a lawyer and help people in need.
I hope you will be happy and never lose your bright smile in heaven.
[고 신하율 양 어머니 : 제가 혼자 결정을 한 부분이지만 워낙 베풀고 나누고 본인 것도 아낌없이 나눠주는 아이였거든요. 분명히 엄마한테 되게 잘했다고 고맙다고 정말 고맙다고 엄마 잘했다고 저를 칭찬해 줄 것 같아요. 분명히 그럴 거예요.]
