Hi everyone, I'm Wulan from Indonesia and I'm planning a trip to Seoul next month for an aesthetic consultation. However, I'm a bit worried about the language barrier. My English is decent, but I'm concerned about not understanding medical details. Can most clinics in Seoul accommodate patients who only speak English? Or would it be safer to look for one with Indonesian-speaking staff or at least staff who can speak the local language?
Has anyone here had experience with consultations there without a translator? How did it go? I want to be sure I can communicate my expectations and concerns effectively, so if a translator is necessary, I'd like to arrange for one in advance.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share their experiences!

Hi Wulan! I'm worried too, but I've seen many places in Seoul with English-speaking staff. Have you had any experience searching on social media or calling ahead to ask if they have Indonesian speakers, or are you planning to use a private interpreter?
I'm also worried about the same thing! Have you tried contacting the clinics directly before your appointment to ask if they have any staff who speak Indonesian or Arabic? Because I heard some places have interpreters, but you have to ask them in advance.
