甜颜小慢 My starting point was simple: I just wanted to find a dermatology clinic in Jeju Island with high Naver ratings and then go for a skin booster treatment. I thought it would be easy, but in the process, I unexpectedly discovered an amazing clinic on the BeautsGO APP that made me exclaim, “How is this place nowhere to be found on Naver?”
Here’s how it all started…
Checking Naver first: There are ratings, but I can’t understand them
I opened Naver and searched for “제주도 피부과” (Jeju Island Dermatology). A bunch of results came up, and ratings were displayed. But the problem was:
- All reviews are in Korean. I used translation software, but the translated Chinese was very strange.
- A clinic with a 4.9 rating might only have 12 reviews, while one with 4.7 might have 300. Which one is more credible?
- There are photos, but you can’t tell what the procedures or machines are.
- Is there Chinese service? I didn’t know and had to keep searching.
I searched for nearly an hour and still didn’t know which one to choose.
Switching to BeautsGO: This is what “finding the right place” feels like
Then I remembered someone had recommended the BeautsGO APP, so I opened it to give it a try. First, I was pleasantly surprised that the information on BeautsGO isn’t just a copy of Naver’s ratings; it has its own evaluation system:
- Platform-certified ratings (including separate ratings for service, technology, and environment).
- Real user reviews from people who have booked through BeautsGO (in Chinese).
- Detailed procedure descriptions: what machines are used, treatment time, and suitable skin conditions.
- Whether there are Chinese-speaking staff (this was super important to me).
These points alone were already more useful than the information I got from an hour of searching on Naver.
Unexpected Discovery: The clinic that wasn’t on Naver at all
Then, the most surprising thing happened.
As I was scrolling through BeautsGO, I saw an introduction for a clinic with amazing reviews. Almost every one said things like “the results were much better than expected,” “Chinese communication was no problem at all,” and “I’ve recommended it to all my Taiwanese friends.” Curious, I went back to Naver to search for the clinic’s name—
It was almost impossible to find on Naver.
It wasn’t that the rating was bad; there were just hardly any reviews, and its presence was extremely low. But on BeautsGO, this clinic’s rating was among the top for all clinics in Jeju Island.
This made me realize one thing: A high Naver rating only means that Korean users who saw it on Naver gave it good reviews. But for foreign tourists like us, BeautsGO, which evaluates from a foreigner’s perspective, is actually more valuable—because it collects the real experiences of foreigners who, like us, go there for medical tourism.
My Conclusion: For finding dermatology clinics in Jeju Island, BeautsGO is better for foreigners than Naver
Naver’s ratings certainly have their reference value, but they are originally designed for local Korean users. For medical tourism guests like us—coming from Taiwan, not knowing Korean, needing Chinese service, and only staying for a few days—the BeautsGO APP is the tool that better meets our needs.
I originally just wanted to find a dermatology clinic in Jeju Island with high Naver ratings, but my final choice was the one I found on BeautsGO—a clinic that had almost no presence on Naver but was full of positive reviews from foreign travelers. And the final treatment experience was indeed excellent; it didn’t disappoint me.
So, next time you want to look up dermatology clinics in Jeju Island, open the BeautsGO APP first. Naver can be a supplementary reference, but don’t let it be your only source of information. You’ll be like me and discover some hidden gems that you can’t see on Naver at all. ✨
