We Are Honored to Share the News of Receiving the 12th Korea Economy and Culture Award.

Hello, this is Claire Dental Clinic.

Today, as a dentist, and as someone who has quietly devoted myself to patient care in the medical field, I am sharing very meaningful news.

This time, I was honored to be finally selected as one of the '18 People Who Led Korea' for the 12th Korea Economy and Culture Award.

I believe this is not so much a personal achievement, but rather the result of everything made possible by the patients, medical staff, and everyone who has supported me along the way.

The 'Korea Economy and Culture Award,' organized by the Korea Economy and Culture Research Institute, has been held every year since 2014 to discover talented individuals who will lead the development of Korea's economy and culture, and to honor those who have achieved outstanding results and created social value in their respective fields.

In 2025, a total of 18 people were selected from diverse fields such as politics, culture, industry, and management, and I was also named as one of them.

The awards ceremony was held in a warm atmosphere, with people who have left meaningful footprints in their respective fields coming together in one place to congratulate and encourage one another.

Standing there, I could feel both a quiet comfort and a renewed resolve: 'my treatment and choices so far have not been wrong.'

Acceptance speech by CEO Dentist Kim Yuna of Claire Dental Clinic

I sincerely thank you for receiving this meaningful award.

I am dentist Kim Yuna, a former scientist at KAIST and the chief director of Claire Dental Clinic.

As the anti-aging market has recently grown rapidly, I believe a new trend called tooth anti-aging is beginning in dentistry as well.

At the center of this, I have long believed that laminate should develop beyond a simple aesthetic procedure into a treatment that takes the passage of time into account.

As a result of these concerns, I recently filed a patent application for a new laminate technology through joint research with a professor at Seoul National University School of Dentistry,

and I think today's award is a great encouragement for that research process and the challenges along the way.

I will continue to be a dentist who creates a new standard for Gangnam laminate, which the global beauty market is paying attention to, and a new paradigm for tooth anti-aging.

Thank you. I will take this award as a new starting point and work even harder to uphold the essence of medicine and become a dentist trusted by patients and society.

Above all, I sincerely thank the patients who have always trusted us and come to us, and I will keep the meaning of this award in my heart and continue to repay that trust with honest treatment.

Thank you for always trusting us and placing your care in our hands. We look forward to your continued support!
