UNVERIFIED editorial — Single-brand Gangnam practice, but the current named director differs from the director at the prosecution period, and continuity of the present legal entity to that period could not be confirmed; 2012–2013 name-lending across four locations is on the reported record. source ↗

Composite held at the C2 ceiling (59) pending the clinic's response; the cap reflects a documented adjudicated court record whose entity-continuity is unconfirmed, not a finding against the currently listed doctors.
Clinic registered (HIRA / KHIDI): caveat
Board-certified specialist (전문의) named: yes
In register scope (Gangnam aesthetic): yes
Clinic operating: yes
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.
