韩国保健福祉部表示，2025年韩国共接待外国患者201万人次，首次突破200万大关。这一数字较前一年的117万人次几乎翻了一番。这一激增反映了韩国作为全球皮肤科和整形手术中心的崛起。
韩国保健福祉部周五宣布，2025年共有来自201个国家的201万名国际患者访问韩国。自2009年开始统计数据以来，该数字逐年上升，但在2020年新冠疫情期间跌至11万人次。受韩国皮肤科治疗需求及K-pop和韩剧全球影响力的推动，仅用五年时间就突破了200万人次大关。从国籍来看，中国患者占总数的30.8%，其次是日本患者（29.8%）、中国台湾患者（9.2%）和美国患者（8.6%）。美国患者人数较上一年激增70.4%，达到创纪录的17.3万人次。超过62%的患者在皮肤科诊所接受治疗，11.2%的患者进行了整形手术。约87.2%的患者选择了首尔的诊所。
