Question 1 of 4

"1 in 5 Seoul residents has had a cosmetic procedure. The city's 700+ aesthetic clinics produce outcomes that rival Beverly Hills — at 40–70% lower cost. The rest of the world has noticed."

In 2025, 2 million patients flew to South Korea for procedures they couldn't get — or couldn't afford — anywhere else. From Tokyo, Dubai, Sydney, and New York, they're choosing Seoul.

The market is enormous: $5–10B in Korean medical tourism GMV, growing at 27% CAGR. The global medical tourism market sits at $35B and is accelerating. And yet — the booking experience still works like hailing a taxi in 2008.

Patients find clinics through Reddit posts and YouTube comments. Agencies coordinate bookings over WhatsApp at midnight. Clinics manage inquiries across five different apps with no unified system. There is no Uber. There is no Airbnb. There is no infrastructure layer. We built it.

ShinHQ is the Borderless Care Platform — the category-defining marketplace for Korean medical tourism. We sit between demand (patients, agencies) and supply (clinics), providing value on every transaction.

Why ShinHQ wins

Proven traction, already
A small AI-empowered team supporting 3,600+ patients per month across 50+ clinics. Profitable unit economics before the platform is fully built — the model works right now.
Platform, not agency
Think Agoda meets Uber for medical tourism. We provide value for every transaction and coordinate every touchpoint. Headcount doesn't scale — our platform does.
Supply-side moat
50+ exclusive Seoul clinic relationships across 10+ categories. Relationships built over years that can't be replicated overnight.
Founders who've done it
Serial operators with scaled-company track records across the US and Asia. Both have done it before — in bigger markets.

For Clinics

Your international patients
deserve better than this.

You're running a world-class clinic — but delivering borderless care still means managing international patients like this:

Your inbox right now 0 unread messages
WhatsApp 3 "When is my consultation appointment?" 2m ago
KakaoTalk 7 "Can you please translate my diagnosis?" 5m ago
Facebook "Is the clinic near Gangnam station?" 8m ago
Email "Please resend the invoice · Reschedule request · What are recovery times?" just now
