k-couture Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 I went in Oct, May and March. Wasn't busy at all during those times.
hj88 Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Yep peak is New Years, Seollal (Lunar New Year), Summer and Chuseok (Korean thanksgiving).
k-couture Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 korea has its own thanksgiving? It is a religious thing?
hj88 Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 They call it Korean thanksgiving in English.. It's a mid-autumn festival to celebrate a good harvest that involves ancestral rites ceremonies. It's a 3 day holiday (more if it backs into a weekend) so everyone travels back to their home town for the ancestral celebrations. Transport is hideous all over Korea throughout Chuseok and a lot of businesses close. Seoul can be a little quieter but a lot of people make use of the break for surgery haha
asianguy1234567 Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Do you know when in summer by any chance? Like roughly dates... I have no idea when summer holidays start for schools and universitys in Seoul...
hj88 Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Mid June til late August / September. Basically a few weeks from now til September is peak for summer
milkychoco Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Anybody got updated prices for DAPRS? Mainly for sliding genioplasty, v-line, or two-jaw?
mewalot Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 If anyone's interested, I have a whole list of online consultation prices from: - ID - Line - View - Item - TL - Girin - DAPR (still waiting for response) - Real - JW - Cinderella You can view it from the link below (:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sRDLaiQ8UGcIhochw7LpYSl8xHAXHz67y80gn9E6ii0/edit?usp=sharing
mewalot Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Yeah I've realised that after going through PF! (Thank god for PF) Currently waiting for Girin's reply. I'm hoping they'd be more reasonable as their website claims,"We do not treat unequally to foreign patients. We provide the best service and reasonable price to both local and foreign clients. We do not charge for overseas marketing with exaggerations. We never charge unreasonable price to foreign clients." *crosses fingers*
msnaive Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 USD12,000 to 17,000 for rhino? You are kidding me?!!!!
hj88 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 A link to a recent article discussing overcharging of foreigners by brokers in Korea: http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2015/05/28/2015052801396.html FYI this article suggests that the going rate for DES is 1.2-1.5 million won. That's definitely in line with what I've seen most koreans here pay. So if you're getting quoted much more than that... You're being ripped off
sweetbaozi Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 they quoted me 7.5 mil krw, but my nose is considered short and bulbous. they told me initially that it would have been around 6 mil, but then they changed their categorization for my nose :/
