How to Verify a Seoul Clinic's Doctors Before You Book
RE:NINE CLINIC's official doctor page lists each physician's degree, training hospital, and professional society memberships, and that information is a useful starting point before a Seoul visit. It is not the same as same-day scheduling, specialty board certification, or the language support available once you are in the treatment room, so those points still need separate confirmation. This guide walks through what the clinic actually discloses, how public credential listings work in Korea, and four questions worth asking before you book.
Why the Physician Matters as Much as the Procedure Name
Patients researching a clinic from abroad often compare device names first: which lifting platform, which laser, which skin booster ingredient. That comparison matters, but it skips an earlier question. Every device is operated, prescribed, or supervised by a specific physician, and that person's training and scope of practice shape what a consultation can actually tell you. A clinic's equipment list is public marketing. A doctor's credential page is closer to a primary record, though it still needs to be read carefully.
RE:NINE CLINIC publishes its directors' education, training history, and society memberships on its official site rather than leaving that information to review platforms or third-party directories. The rest of this guide treats that page as the source and explains how to read it.
What RE:NINE CLINIC's Doctor Page Discloses
The following is drawn from the RE:NINE CLINIC doctor profile page, confirmed against the live site in September 2026.
| Physician | Published education and training | Published career history |
|---|---|---|
| Dr. Hyunwoo Jung, Director | Graduate, Dong-A University College of Medicine; former trainee doctor (수련의), Severance Hospital | Former director, 베러미의원 Gangnam branch; former director, 바로그의원 Bucheon branch |
| Dr. Jiwoon Lee, Director | Graduate, Yonsei University College of Medicine; former trainee doctor (수련의), Severance Hospital | Former director, Tattoa Clinic Uijeongbu branch; current director, Mochi Clinic Gangnam branch; current director, Yonsei Family Clinic |
Both directors are listed as members of the Korean Aesthetic Laser Medicine Society, the Korean Society for Obesity and Aesthetic Medicine, the Korea Society of Skin, Obesity and Plastic Surgery, the Korean Society of Lifting, and the Korean Society of Filler. Dr. Lee's profile additionally lists membership in the Korean Association of Aesthetic Physicians and the Korean Academy of Clinical Aesthetic Medicine. Society names above are translated for readability; the clinic's site carries the original Korean names.
The published career entries reflect what the clinic has chosen to disclose. They describe past and current roles, not who is scheduled to see you on a given day. If you want a specific physician, confirm availability when you book rather than assuming the profile page settles it.
Reading the Credential List Correctly
A medical degree describes education, a training post describes experience at an institution, and a society membership describes professional participation. These are different types of information and should be read separately.
Board certification is a separate, fourth category. In Korea, a board-certified specialist (전문의) has completed a formal residency in a specific department and passed a national specialty examination, while a general physician (일반의) holds a full medical license without that additional residency and exam, a distinction international-patient guidance sites point to directly when advising visitors on what to check before booking (KClinicFinder). RE:NINE CLINIC's current doctor page lists degrees, training hospitals, and society memberships. It does not state a specialty board certification for either director, so that status should not be inferred from the page and is worth asking about directly if it matters to your decision.
Four Questions Worth Asking Before You Book
Who will actually see you on your chosen date? The doctor page and the day's schedule are separate pieces of information. If you want a specific director, say so when you contact the clinic and ask them to confirm availability for your date and time, along with whether the consulting physician and the treating physician will be the same person.
Can you book a consultation before choosing a treatment? RE:NINE CLINIC's brand page describes an individualized approach based on a patient's skin concerns and lifestyle, delivered in a private setting. If you have not settled on a specific treatment, tell the clinic what you are considering and ask whether a consultation-only booking is available, along with its cost and expected length.
Which languages are actually available once you are being examined? The official reservation page lists Korean-language inquiries through KakaoTalk, English through WhatsApp, Japanese through LINE, and Chinese through WeChat. A booking channel's language covers only the inquiry stage; exam-room explanations and consent forms depend on separate, in-person language support. Confirm separately how the consultation itself and any consent documents will be handled, and whether interpretation is available at the specific time of your visit.
What happens after you fly home? If your trip to Seoul is short, share your return date early. Ask whether the treatment you are considering typically calls for a follow-up check before you leave, whether a second visit is realistic within your itinerary, and what contact channel and scope of support exist once you are back in your home country. A booking channel existing does not by itself mean remote consultation or ongoing aftercare is included.
What to Prepare Before the Consultation
A short written list before your visit reduces the chance of forgetting something during the appointment itself:
- The specific skin or body concern you want addressed, and which area
- Any prior procedures, current treatments, and medications you are taking
- Any past reactions or allergies from previous treatments
- Your length of stay, return flight date, and any fixed commitments in Seoul
- Questions about which physician you will see and what language support is available
This list is not a way to decide suitability for yourself. It exists so the physician has accurate information to work from. Whether a treatment is appropriate is a decision made during the in-person exam, not before it.
RE:NINE CLINIC's Seoul Location
RE:NINE CLINIC is located on the second floor of the Seoul Center Building, 116 Sogong-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, and can be reached at 02-318-7379. Current doctor information is published on the official doctor page, and visit inquiries go through the official reservation page. Sharing your preferred date, the concern you want to discuss, your language needs, and whether you have a preferred physician when you first reach out makes it easier for the clinic to tell you what else to confirm.

FAQ
Does seeing a doctor's name on the profile page guarantee they will treat me?
No. The profile page reflects education, training, and society memberships that the clinic has chosen to publish. Day-of scheduling and physician assignment are separate and should be confirmed when you book.
Does a professional society membership mean a doctor is board-certified?
No. Society membership and specialty board certification are different credentials. Ask the clinic directly about the specific qualification you want to confirm.
Is the language listed for booking the same as the language used during the exam?
Not necessarily. The reservation page lists the language of the inquiry channel, not a guarantee about interpretation during the physical exam or consent process. Confirm exam-room language support and consent documentation before your appointment.
Where can I find the most current information about RE:NINE CLINIC's doctors?
The official doctor page is the primary source. For anything about a specific date's schedule or recent changes, contact the clinic directly through the reservation page.
