Specialist (전문의) — named
PENDING
claimed · pending Measured · 85%
M1 · Board-certified specialist (전문의) 4 · 24%
UNVERIFIED Named founder 송훈 is a board-certified 성형외과 전문의 (KSPRS lifetime member) and the signboard uses the specialist form 기린성형외과의원, with 3 named 마취통증의학과 전문의 on staff; rank-and-file individual 전문의 numbers are not published. source ↗
M2 · Foreign-patient registration (KHIDI) 2 · 18%
UNVERIFIED No KHIDI foreign-patient registry entry could be independently confirmed; the clinic shows a KIMA membership badge and claims MOHW international-patient accreditation — corroborating signals short of a registry line-item. source ↗ · provisional
M3 · Clinic registration (HIRA) 5 · 12%
UNVERIFIED HIRA-sourced record resolves to 기린성형외과의원, classified 의원 (clinic, not 병원), 서초4동, with HIRA-listed non-covered prices. source ↗
M4 · Operating-room accountability (CCTV) 3 · 10%
UNVERIFIED A third-party review reports operating-room CCTV 'for family viewing'; no explicit no-ghost-surgery pledge or patient-request OR-recording statement was found on the clinic's own rendered pages. source ↗
M5 · Advertising compliance (심의필) 2 · 8%
UNVERIFIED No 심의필 number visible; About-page self-assertions ('perfect safety record with no medical incidents') and a third-party 'No.1 for 7 consecutive years' superiority claim are present. source ↗
M6 · Price / process transparency 3 · 7%
UNVERIFIED Consult-/inquiry-gated pricing on the clinic site with a few HIRA-listed non-covered figures and an up-to-10% full-upfront-payment discount; no public deposit/refund policy located. source ↗
M7 · International-patient pathway 4 · 6%
UNVERIFIED Seven language versions with 24/7 language-specific consultants, a WhatsApp line, free pre-arrival consult, airport pickup and a marketed 1-year remote follow-up; non-Korean-speaker consent process and a dedicated emergency number are not separately documented. source ↗
Editorial · 15%
E1 · Operator continuity / franchise transparency 5 · 8%
UNVERIFIED editorial — Single named practice at one location (서초더블유타워 7F/8F) with attributable founder-director 송훈; no multi-branch or franchise network found. source ↗
E2 · Claim cleanliness & patient protection 3 · 7%
UNVERIFIED editorial — No documented red flags for the clinic or Dr. 송훈 after targeted searches (an anonymized liposuction-death article is not attributable to Girin); residual caveats are the unverified 'perfect safety record'/'No.1' marketing claims noted under M5. source ↗

What this register does NOT measure We do not rate surgical outcomes, a doctor's skill, complication rates or "who's better". We verify structural facts: the board-certified specialist (전문의) who operates, the clinic's registration (HIRA / KHIDI), what it discloses about the operating room and its advertising, the prices and the international-patient pathway — and where something is unconfirmed, we say so.
