[UPDATE 12/1] We no longer recommend joining these kakao groups. Please see this post for why.

Introduction

When you’re doing research about treatments in Korea, it’s important to talk to other foreigners who have gone through this experience or are going through it now.

KakaoTalk is the main messaging application in Korea, and foreigners have created strong chat communities on this platform to share knowledge about clinics with one another.

Here are the KakaoTalk groups you should join to get more information.
