The opening ceremony was attended by Dongseop Yoon, Vice President for Medical Affairs and Director of Yonsei University Medical Center, Eunjik Lee, Dean of the College of Medicine, Eunkyung Kim, Director of Yongin Severance Hospital, and other officials from Yonsei Medical Center and the College of Medicine.

The Yongin Campus was established to overcome the physical distance from the College of Medicine and to serve as a central hub for student education and faculty research support within Yongin Severance Hospital. In the future, by reinforcing administrative and research support personnel and establishing a Yongin branch of the College of Medicine, the campus aims not only to provide systematic education and research support but also to achieve results in basic science research through the establishment of a biomedical research institute and the opening of graduate school departments in the mid to long term.

This opening is significant as it marks the starting point where faculty members at Yongin Severance Hospital, affiliated with the College of Medicine, can actively contribute to research and education alongside clinical practice. In his congratulatory speech, Director Yoon said, "I extend my congratulations and gratitude for taking the first step toward the development of education and research with the opening of the Yongin Campus," adding, "The Medical Center will also provide unwavering support as Yongin Severance Hospital and the Yongin Campus grow."

Director Kim said, "With the help of many people, we have grown into the most reputable hospital in the southern Gyeonggi region within four years of opening," and added, "We have established a campus, which is essential not only for clinical care but also for research and education, and we will gradually accumulate experience and expertise to further contribute to the development of the College of Medicine and the Medical Center."
