Introduction to the Chief Director

Hello.

I’m Kim Jin-hyun, Chief Director of U&I Clinic Mokdong.

When I meet many patients, they often tell me not only about their skin, but also about their everyday lives.

As I communicate with those patients, I naturally forget the hardships of daily life and find myself gaining new energy.

However, while patients share stories about themselves, I realized that 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 U&I Clinic Mokdong with such a mindset.

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

Still, I sincerely ask for your understanding, and I’ll do my best to put my true feelings into words here. :)

Why I Became a Doctor

First, let me tell you frankly why I became a doctor.

Since I was young, I wanted to do work that helps people and brings them joy and happiness.

I know it sounds like something anyone could say..

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

In particular, since I began treating dermatology patients, I’ve seen how the procedures I perform can make patients feel better,

and whenever I see patients feeling happy because of me, I feel deeply proud and glad on the inside. :)

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

Even now, whenever I see patients whose expressions brighten after treatment,

whenever I hear them say that they looked prettier before their wedding because of it,

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

I live with a sense of pride and happiness in my work as a doctor. :)

Skin problems I had as a child

When I was young, I had very sensitive skin, and even the slightest change in my environment would cause acne or other skin troubles.

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

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

I studied a great deal to find the causes and solutions for them. :)

Also, because I had those experiences,

I developed the habit of carefully checking the ingredients of every cosmetic product, whether for home use or for use in our clinic, before choosing it.

Some people may find it strange to be so particular about the ingredients when choosing a single cosmetic product..

but for me, who had extremely sensitive skin, if I didn’t check things carefully one by one, skin problems would arise more easily than for others,

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

But I think these experiences have actually become helpful to me now.

Because I had sensitive skin and skin that easily developed breakouts, I was able to immerse myself in studying skin in depth,

and I believe that this accumulated knowledge and experience now allows me to provide more careful care and treatment to all of you. :)

My treatment philosophy and values

I think the word “values” means.

It should be able to 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 a little too obvious?.

I’m sure some of you may think that..

But my treatment philosophy is not simply about the result of treatment; it is about helping every patient who visits us feel happiness throughout the treatment process.

That’s because skin concerns are not only external issues,

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

So I think only about which procedure will bring each patient the greatest sense of happiness, and I suggest treatment methods with that in mind.

There may be many ways to solve a concern,

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

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

I will always meet you with the same初心.

U&I Clinic Mokdong

Today, I shared with you the reason I became a doctor, something 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 more than just treatment; it is a precious space that helps people regain confidence and live better lives.

Also, in order to continue delivering happiness to patients,

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

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

Thank you again for reading this long post. :)
