900,000₩ for a Checkup?! 😱 Korean Hospital Experience as a Foreigner

Описание: 🇰🇷 How much does a Korean hospital visit cost? You won’t believe how different it is from Western healthcare! 😱
In this video, I (Alex 💕) take you with me to Seoul National University Hospital for a full Korean health check-up as a foreigner on a Working Holiday visa. From unexpected bills to a tube down the throat (yes… an endoscopy!), here’s what shocked me most.

💸 The real cost? 900,000₩ (~$650) — even with insurance.
➡️ If you're a foreigner in Korea or planning to move here, this is a must-watch!

🏥 What You’ll See:
• What it’s like to visit a Korean hospital as a foreigner
• Why I was the only young person doing a full-body checkup
• The surprisingly efficient Korean medical system
• My biggest fear: endoscopy with the dreaded tube 😬
• Korean medicine vs Poland & UK differences
