Gangnamunni

Gangnamunni (강남언니) is an aesthetic and beauty medical platform operated by the South Korean company Healing Paper. The service helps users research and select clinics and treatments, publishing user reviews, editorial guides and price comparisons, and enabling consultations and bookings with participating hospitals. The consumer site lists individual procedures from named clinics — spanning hair transplants and scalp treatments, rhinoplasty and other cosmetic surgery, injectables and skin boosters — with list prices, discounted prices, VAT-inclusive amounts, clinic locations (largely Seoul districts such as Apgujeong, Gangnam and Sinsa, plus Busan, Daegu, Suwon and other regional sites), and per-procedure user ratings and review counts. Clinics that meet review-based criteria are flagged with a monthly "customer-rated excellent hospital" designation.

Beyond the consumer marketplace, the company sells B2B tools to aesthetic medical clinics, including CRM software and photography equipment intended to support customer management and clinic marketing. Internationally, the platform operates under the UNNI brand for global users, offering hospital reservation services both for foreign patients travelling to Korean clinics and for local users booking at clinics in the markets it has entered.

An EquityZen profile describing the company frames its positioning around reducing information asymmetry in medical decision-making through transparent medical information combined with an IT platform, and cites accumulated user reviews and app-mediated hospital consultations as its core assets.

Business model

The platform aggregates aesthetic clinics and their procedures, presenting reviews, guides and discounted procedure prices to consumers while providing participating clinics with customer acquisition and marketing exposure; the company also sells B2B products to clinics, specifically CRM software and photography equipment for customer management and marketing.

Sources describe consumer-facing procedure listings from partner clinics with discounted pricing and paid B2B clinic solutions (CRM software and photography equipment); specific pricing or fee mechanics are not detailed.

Traction

Launched in 2015, the platform reports 7 million cumulative users across its multilingual services as of February 2025. An EquityZen profile cites approximately one million accumulated user reviews, 3.8 million individuals who have used the app for hospital consultations, and 1.6 million completed cases.
