Hello everyone, I'm Bich from Vietnam. I'm planning to get some treatments in South Korea but I'm really struggling because I can't read Korean. When I look at local review sites, I can only use translate and I don't feel very confident. Has anyone else been in this situation?
I'd like to ask what you usually rely on to trust reviews. Are there any red flags I should be careful about? For example, is a review that's too good to be true unusual, or is there a way to tell if a review is genuine?
Also, has anyone used any apps or methods to find more reliable information as a foreigner? I really want to prepare thoroughly before booking appointments. Thank you everyone! 🙏

I totally get how you feel! I also use translation software to read Korean reviews, and sometimes I'm really not sure if the translation is accurate 😅 What I do is try to find reviews with pictures and videos whenever possible. That way, you can see the results more visually and don't have to rely entirely on the text. Also, looking at reviews from multiple platforms helps – if everyone mentions the same pros and cons, the credibility is higher. Wishing you a smooth consultation!
I feel like you always do, machine translation is really unbelievable 😅 I usually try to find other Vietnamese people who have had procedures there to ask directly, or see if there are any before/after photos on social media, because you can understand images without translation!
I totally feel you on this! The translator thing can be so hit-or-miss, and it's scary not being 100% sure what you're reading. Honestly, I've found that looking at photos in reviews helps way more than just text — you can see actual results even without understanding Korean. Also, I always try to find English-speaking consultants at places beforehand, just so I can ask questions directly and feel more confident before booking. Have you tried reaching out to clinics to see if anyone speaks English there? That's been my lifesaver so far! 😊
I completely understand your concerns 😅. May I ask if you've already chosen a clinic or are still searching? I think contacting clinics directly and asking for assistance with English explanations or for them to elaborate on reviews might be more reliable than translating it yourself.
