Hello, I'm Dr. Wangjin Lee, Director of Boost Clinic Cheongdam.
This is the second entry in our opening journal. Today I also want to share something a little different from the usual construction update.
The space keeps filling in
Since the last entry, we finished tiling and have now moved on to wall finishing and lighting installation. Looking back at the bare concrete frame we started with, it's starting to feel real.
Watching a space I'd only seen in renderings take physical shape has been satisfying in its own way — I've lost count of how many photos I've taken, comparing the floor plan to what's actually in front of me.
Standing in front of a camera is a different kind of nerve-wracking
This week also had us filming content for our social channels, along with new profile photos.
Being in front of patients, I'm completely at ease. In front of a camera, it turns out, I'm not — at all. I caught myself re-shooting the same profile photo more times than I'd like to admit, second-guessing every angle and expression.
Strange as it sounds, once this content starts introducing Boost Clinic Cheongdam to people, the unfamiliar hours in front of a lens felt worth it.
Building the team is as important as building the space
While we've been working on the physical space and the content, hiring has continued in parallel. Reviewing applications and scheduling interviews has taken more time than I expected — but finding the right people matters just as much as finishing the room.
It's been a busy week between the construction site, the shoot, and interviews, but every bit of it means we're that much closer to opening.
I'll keep sharing the honest version of this process. If you have questions about visiting Korea's dermatology and aesthetic scene as an international patient, feel free to reach out any time.
