  • K-Medical Expands: 365mc Brings Liposuction Expertise to America

    Korea’s leading liposuction-specialized medical institution, 365mc, has officially entered the U.S. market, announcing the grand opening of its Los Angeles branch.

    The “365mc LA Grand Opening Ceremony” was attended by CEO Kim Nam-chul, the local medical team, and key figures from the Orange County Chamber of Commerce, celebrating the milestone opening.

    Performing over 30,000 partial obesity treatments annually, 365mc’s LA branch will center its services on the clinic’s proprietary non-invasive liposuction injection, LAMS (Local Anesthetic Minimal-invasive Solution). This treatment minimizes incisions through local anesthesia, improving both safety and patient satisfaction.

    The clinic’s medical director, Dr. Angie Trias Sanchez, and co-director, Dr. Maria Samanda Layson, both completed training in Korea and received the symbolic “Orange Gown” certification.

    Dr. Sanchez stated, “K-LAMS represents an innovative technology rarely seen in the U.S., and this opening marks a new milestone in elevating the global reputation of K-Medical.”

  • BTS Suga Opens Min Yoon-gi Treatment Center with ₩5 Billion Donatio

    Severance Hospital announced the opening of the “Min Yoon-gi Treatment Center” on the first floor of Jejung Hall on the 30th.

    The center was established with a ₩5 billion donation made in June by BTS member Suga (Min Yoon-gi) to Severance Children’s Hospital. It features therapy rooms for language and behavioral treatment, as well as a music and social skills group therapy room equipped with soundproofing and acoustic facilities. The cozy waiting area also displays wooden artworks by an autistic spectrum disorder artist.

    From late last year to early this year, Suga worked with Professor Chun Keun-ah to meet children with autism spectrum disorder, offering music volunteer work including guitar performances. Based on this experience, Suga and Professor Chun co-developed the “MIND” program, incorporating music into therapy, establishing the world’s first university hospital system that integrates art with medicine for treatment and independence.

    The MIND program, built on non-verbal music therapy, is effective even for children with low cognitive abilities or those who do not respond verbally. It encourages self-expression by letting children choose instruments and supports social skills such as waiting their turn during ensemble sessions. A professional team—including child psychiatrists, music therapists, speech therapists, behavioral therapists, and clinical psychologists—collaborates to provide tailored treatments through case-based discussions.

    Experts note that as music therapy is globally recognized for its effectiveness, this center is expected to become an innovative model combining art and medicine. Moreover, Suga’s philanthropic act is anticipated to positively influence social awareness of children with autism.
