Gangnam Unni Expands as a Global Service with Launch of "Unni" in China and Taiwan

Supports Six Languages
Book Korean Hospital Appointments in Your Native Language

Healing Paper, the operator of "Gangnam Unni," announced on October 15 that it has launched the China and Taiwan versions of "Unni (UNNI)," a service designed to attract foreign patients to K-beauty medical services. With this launch, Gangnam Unni has expanded its presence as a global service, now supporting a total of six languages: Korean, English, Japanese, Thai, Simplified Chinese for China, and Traditional Chinese for Taiwan.

Gangnam Unni allows users to select their "country and region" during sign-up or automatically configures the environment based on device language settings, enabling users from China and Taiwan to easily access the service in their native languages. Through this, local users can view information on dermatology and plastic surgery promotions offered by Korean clinics, and seamlessly proceed from chat consultations with hospitals of interest to inquiries and reservations in a one-stop process.

The China and Taiwan versions also place a strong emphasis on translation quality management. Recognizing that Korean treatment names often sound awkward when machine-translated into foreign languages, Gangnam Unni has ensured more natural and reliable translations through repeated reviews by medical beauty experts. As a result, users from China and Taiwan can access highly professional explanations and communicate more accurately with hospitals.

A Gangnam Unni representative stated, "The number of foreign patients visiting Korea is rapidly increasing, and Taiwan, in particular, is notable for the high volume of visits for dermatology and plastic surgery treatments. We will continue to focus on enhancing translation quality and user experience so that global users can access Korean medical services without language barriers."

Gangnam Unni is already seeing tangible results from its global expansion in Japan and Thailand. After entering the Japanese market at the end of 2019, the number of Japanese users visiting Korea as well as local users has grown rapidly, reaching 1,500 partner hospitals and 1.6 million users in Japan as of October this year. In Thailand, the user base has grown nearly tenfold within just seven months since the initial phase of global expansion. Building on these achievements in each country, Gangnam Unni is contributing to the revitalization of foreign medical tourism and the attraction of overseas patients to Korean hospitals.
