I completely understand your concerns! I only spoke English when I had consultations last year, and I felt that many clinics in areas like Myeongdong and Gangnam do have English-speaking staff. However, sometimes communication can still be a bit fuzzy when discussing details 😅 My experience later on was to write down the questions I wanted to ask in advance using Google Translate and then show them a screenshot. This way, it's a bit clearer. I also suggest considering having a translation app as a backup.

I was also worried about the language barrier at first, but luckily, larger establishments in Seoul usually have English-speaking staff or at least try their best to understand. I suggest preparing important questions in English beforehand, or even taking photos/finding reference images to show them, as this method is much more effective than using Google Translate! 😊

I totally understand your concern! When I first went to Seoul, I found that writing down what I wanted to do in a small notebook with pictures from Instagram was super helpful. Even if they didn't speak much English, they understood really well 😊 Some places even had translation apps or staff who actually spoke English.
