Sources & verification

Compiled into the 2026-08-14 dataset build. No separate re-verification date is recorded for this clinic. Placed by verification, never by payment.

Editorial note: STRONGLY VERIFIED. ISHRS profile live and current; independently corroborated by RealSelf practice page and the Gangnam-gu government medical-tourism registry (medicaltour.gangnam.go.kr). DISAMBIGUATION: commission aggregators (Bookimed, PlacidWay) list Dr. Kim under a 'MOAMAN' brand; the authority directory attributes him to New Hair - treated as New Hair. Not the same as the dropped Moarm clinic (Dr. Kyuho Lee). Doctor photo retained - high confidence, from ISHRS profile.
