Bumin Prestige Lifecare Center opened in August 2025 in Magok, between Incheon Airport and Gangnam. Operated by the Bumin Hospital Group, it spans 95,000 sq ft on a single floor — the largest preventive medicine center in Korea. The facility was designed around one operational goal: same-day reporting.

For patients arriving early in the morning, the location is practical — directly from the airport to the center, then on to a Gangnam hotel by check-in time.

Why it is Premium :

  • Built for Same-Day Results: Bumin is the first check-up center in Korea to deliver same-day reports. The workflow — Korea's first automated blood collection system, AI-assisted interpretation, and an in-house diagnostic lab — was engineered backwards from this goal.
  • One-Visit Decisions: Because results arrive on the same day, patients can review their report, consult with a specialist face-to-face, and decide on follow-up care without a second trip. Dental, IV therapy, and regenerative treatments are available on-site if needed.

Best For: International patients with limited time in Korea who want diagnosis, consultation, and next steps completed in a single visit.

Package Price: Four-tier program structure clearly priced for transparency:

  • Basic: $585 USD (male) / $675 USD (female)
  • Premium: $1,170 USD (male) / $1,350 USD (female)
  • Platinum: $2,070 USD (male) / $2,250 USD (female)
  • Prestige: $2,880 USD (male) / $3,060 USD (female)
  • Prestige + Overnight VIP Stay: $3,780 USD (male) / $3,960 USD (female)

Address: 2F & 4F, D Building, One Grove Mall, 165 Gonghang-daero, Gangseo-gu, Seoul (Magok Station, Subway Line 5, Exits 1 & 2 — directly connected)

Opening hours:

  • Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri: 07:30 - 16:00
  • Wed, Sat: 07:30 - 12:30
