The Taste of Boney Hangover Soup Near Sports Complex Station That Connects the Awkward Enthusiasm of Opening Days with Today’s Depth

These days, I’ve been staying late at the office more often than usual.

It’s not because someone is telling me to; I’m just making myself work late on my own.

When I get absorbed in studying papers to plan something new for the clinic or to improve a field I want to do better in lately, the hands of the clock often end up somewhere I never expected.

There are so many surgeries and procedures that require intense concentration that my eyes grow dim and I feel mentally worn down. When the fatigue feels like the weight of about two bears pressing on my shoulders, I suddenly think of “Myeongjingam (Myeongin’s Rich Gamjatang)” near Sports Complex Station.

Their boney hangover soup has a broth that is especially not heavy or greasy, but clean and refreshing, and it feels like it clears out the cluttered mind.

Looking back, when I first opened Piaf Clinic in the past, there was a much more fiercely human kind of energy than there is now. Everything was awkward, and each day was something I had to barely manage to get through.

Every time, I often hosted company dinners because I wanted to lift the spirits of the staff who struggled alongside me. And at those dinners, we would raise our glasses together, as we always do, and look forward to a better tomorrow.

Those times were so precious, but I also remember how difficult it was to face the hangover and fatigue that inevitably came the next morning.

What saved me then was this hangover soup. After taking apart the tender meat attached to the large bones and drinking the broth, which was not刺激ive but still had a deep savory richness, I was finally ready to return as Dr. Im Jin-young.

I don’t drink as much as I used to now, but on days when I’ve drained myself to the point of exhaustion by thinking hard and studying fiercely, I still find myself missing that warm comfort.

Whether it’s when I face food or when I face patients, the one thing I value most is honesty faithful to the essence. I think the clean aftertaste of Myeongjingam’s boney hangover soup without any off-smell is probably because they quietly endured the tedious and exhausting process of boiling the bones and removing the blood.

I think the path of a doctor who performs plastic surgery and skin aesthetic procedures is no different. More important than flashy technique is careful pre-procedure design and holding onto the conviction to say, “No means no,” when something is not right.

Sometimes, I’m only human too, so there are days when I feel tired even after coming to the clinic on my day off to check on work. The more that happens, the more I comfort myself and look for a bowl of food that feels like medicine. Only then can I offer the most attentive and precise touch to the people who trust me and entrust their beauty to me.

It’s a tired morning, but like a bowl of broth carefully simmered, I’ll try to sit in the clinic today with a strong and clear mind. I sincerely hope that everyone my sincerity reaches will have a day that is a little more comfortable and beautiful.

Sincerely, Director Im Jin-young of Piaf Clinic.
