Healingpaper announced on April 27, 2026, that the cumulative number of foreign users who have completed consultation requests and reservations at Korean dermatology and plastic surgery clinics via its K-medical platform for international patients, "Unni," surpassed 700,000 as of March.
The Unni app offers Korean aesthetic medical reservation services in six languages. Starting with Japanese in 2019, the service expanded to English in 2023, Thai in 2024, and Chinese in 2025.
Japan recorded the fastest growth in the number of reservations, with approximately 200,000 new consultation requests and reservations in the past year, making it the largest contributor overall. After the launch of the English version of the app, the number of users from English-speaking countries increased by 3.2 times over the past year, while Thailand saw about a 20-fold increase, and Taiwan saw a 25-fold increase.
With the increase in the number of reservations, Healingpaper's revenue also grew last year. As of 2025, total revenue reached 97.9 billion won, a 45% increase compared to the previous year. In particular, its Japanese subsidiary nearly doubled its sales, from 7.6 billion won to 13.7 billion won.
Hong Seungil, CEO of Healingpaper, said, "As Korea has emerged as a leading medical tourism hub in Asia, attracting 2 million foreign patients annually, Gangnam Unni will further strengthen efforts to attract international patients by leveraging our IT technology and platform capabilities. We will do our utmost to enhance both online and offline services to help the government achieve its goal of attracting 30 million foreign tourists."
