Introduction from the Chief Director

Hello.

I’m Kim Jin-hyun, Chief Director of UNNI Clinic Mokdong Branch.

When I meet many patients, they often talk not only about their skin, but also about their daily lives.

As I talk with those patients, I find myself quickly forgetting the hardships of everyday life and feeling renewed energy.

However, when patients share stories about themselves, I realized I had never properly introduced myself.

So today, through this post.

I’d like to honestly tell you why I became a doctor,

and what led me to open UNNI Clinic Mokdong Branch.

This is the first time I’m sincerely sharing my values and thoughts like this, so the writing may feel a bit awkward..

Please kindly understand, and I’ll do my best to put my true feelings into words :)

Why I Became a Doctor

First, I’d like to tell you honestly why I became a doctor.

Since I was young, I wanted to help people and, through that, bring them joy and happiness.

I know it sounds like something obvious that anyone could say..

But with sincere feelings, I chose the path of medicine, and that feeling has continued to this day.

In particular, after starting dermatology care, I see that the procedures I perform make patients feel better,

and when I see patients happy because of me, I feel quietly very fulfilled and happy myself :)

It may sound cliché, but this is truly how I feel.

Even now, whenever I see patients’ faces brighten after a procedure,

whenever someone tells me they looked even prettier before their wedding thanks to the treatment,

whenever they tell me they no longer shrink away because of their skin,

I feel pride and happiness in my profession as a doctor :)

Skin Issues I Had as a Child

When I was young, my skin was very sensitive, and even a small change in the environment would cause acne or breakouts.

My skin was so extremely sensitive that even using a towel that had touched dust would cause breakouts on my face.

Based on those experiences, I became deeply interested in stubborn acne and sensitive skin.

I studied very hard to find the causes and solutions :)

Also, because of these experiences,

I developed the habit of carefully checking the ingredients of every cosmetic product used at home or in our clinic before choosing it.

Some people may find it odd and wonder how you can choose a cosmetic product if you check every ingredient like that..

But for someone like me, who had extremely sensitive skin, if I didn’t check everything this carefully, skin problems would occur more easily than for others,

and if I didn’t study skin in depth like this, my skin would not improve as easily as other people’s.

But now I think those experiences have actually helped me.

Because I had sensitive skin and skin that would easily break out, I was able to immerse myself deeply in studying skin,

and as this knowledge and experience accumulated, I believe I am now able to provide more careful care and treatment to you all :)

My Treatment Philosophy and Values

I think the word “values”

should be something that can stand in for a person’s philosophy in just one word or one sentence.

If I were to describe my “values,” that is, my “treatment philosophy,” in one word for you..

it would be

“Happiness.”

Happiness? Isn’t that still too obvious?..

I imagine some of you may think that..

But my treatment philosophy is not simply about the results of treatment; it is about making sure that every patient who visits can feel happiness while receiving care.

Because skin problems are not just external issues,

but also internal issues that can place a heavy psychological burden on patients.

So I think only about which procedure will allow each patient to feel the greatest sense of happiness, and I suggest treatment methods based on that.

There may be many ways to solve a concern,

but what matters is that we focus on whether the process can bring joy and happiness to the patient.

So that my care can become a process that brings happiness to my patients,

I will always meet you without forgetting my original intentions :)

UNNI Clinic Mokdong Branch

Today, I shared the reasons I became a doctor, which I have never told others before, as well as my values.

First of all, thank you so much to everyone who read this long post to the end.

I believe dermatology is not just about treatment, but is also a precious space that helps people regain confidence and live a better life.

Also, so that I can continue to bring happiness to patients in the future,

I will treat each and every one of you with sincerity and responsibility.

I hope the time you spend with me can add a small bit of joy and change to your life, and I’ll end this post here.

Thank you again for reading this long post :)
