Gangnam Unnie Surpasses 1.5 Million Mobile Hospital Consultation Requests
10x Increase in Local Japan Consultation Requests in 6 Months
Achieved 800,000 User Reviews... Strengthened Monitoring of Fake Plastic Surgery Reviews
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Healing Paper (CEO Hong Seung-il) announced on the 12th that the number of hospital consultation requests through the beauty medical information platform app 'Gangnam Unni' has surpassed 1.5 million.
This achievement comes seven years after the launch of Gangnam Unni in January 2015. Currently, 3.3 million registered users on Gangnam Unni can view medical advertisements for skin treatments and plastic surgeries and request mobile consultations with hospitals they are interested in. Gangnam Unni does not charge any fees for providing consultation request convenience features.
The number of consultation requests in Japan also increased tenfold within six months. The 350,000 Japanese users can simultaneously check hospital information in both Japan and Korea, and local hospitals offer consultation request and reservation functions. In August last year, Gangnam Unni secured 500 partner hospitals just eight months after entering the Japanese market.
User-written hospital reviews have also exceeded 800,000. To block fake reviews written by hospitals, Gangnam Unni introduced receipt-verified reviews and an abuse prevention algorithm.
