Why I Became a Doctor

At the age of 21, I was diagnosed with a rare disease called muscular dystrophy due to nerve damage in my neck. Facing deep anxiety about how far it would progress, I decided to become a doctor who embraces the pain of patients.
With that determination, I entered medical school, finished my internship, and had the opportunity to volunteer in Kenya for 100 days.
While treating patients in Kenya, it was a time where I learned how precious each person’s life is, and how important a warm gaze and a kind word can be.
As the saying goes, “One who has experienced pain can understand pain,” pain is the reason I became a doctor and showed me the path to how I should live as a doctor.-I will not lose this heart and will always be a doctor who empathizes with and embraces the hearts of patients.

‘ 존중 받는 피부과를 만들고 싶습니다’

While working as a professor at Pusan National University and Severance Hospital, I found fulfillment in performing skin cancer surgeries and researching and treating intractable diseases.
However, I wanted to meticulously care for each and every patient like their primary physician, but the environment of the university hospital made it difficult to provide more attentive care, which left me with many regrets.
Also, treatments for skin diseases are changing and developing very rapidly.
Through continuous research on the latest treatments, I want to provide patients with more effective treatments.
With this in mind, I will practice medicine with respect, treating each and every one of you as my lifelong patient.
‘You are inherently beautiful’
Skin diseases can cause depression and lower quality of life.
I believe that solving these concerns is like changing a person’s life.
