On January 11th, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the Merz MASJ Symposium at the luxurious Parnas Hotel in Seoul.

MASJ, which stands for Merz Aesthetics Serendipity Journey, embodies Merz’s commitment to respecting and enhancing each individual’s unique beauty through innovation and care.

This year’s symposium was not only inspiring but also a reminder of why I love what I do as an aesthetic physician.
What is “A Beautiful Promise”?
Before the event, I was asked to think about what my Beautiful Promise to my clients would be.

After some reflection, I realized that my promise is not just about achieving external beauty but about helping my clients love themselves more and live with confidence.

I believe in this core message:
“Find the most radiant version of yourself within natural beauty.”
For me, this is more than a professional philosophy—it’s a genuine, heartfelt interaction that goes beyond physical transformations to help improve inner confidence and overall mindset.
While I was encouraged to record this as an interview at the event, I’ll admit I was a bit shy and ended up skipping it! (Maybe next time. 😅)
The Event: A Night of Elegance and Connection

The venue was beautifully decorated with a black-and-white theme, exuding sophistication and glamour.
The atmosphere was elevated by a selection of delicious cocktails inspired by Merz’s flagship products!


These creative touches made the evening even more special. My favorite was Blue Radiesse!
In addition to networking with fellow physicians, I had the chance to hear from amazing speakers like:



Song Gil-young (Era Forecast): Sharing insights on future trends and paradigm shifts.
JJ (Fitness Expert): Highlighting the importance of movement and a healthy lifestyle.
Milanonna: Discussing the power of graceful and confident aging.
Their diverse perspectives added so much value, broadening my understanding of beauty, health, and lifestyle.
Reflections on the Day
The Merz MASJ Symposium was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on my role as a physician and the meaningful connections I build with my clients.

It reminded me that true beauty isn’t just about appearances—it’s about helping people see the best in themselves and radiate confidence.

As I move forward in 2025, I’m excited to integrate what I’ve learned into my practice and continue to provide solutions that inspire both inner and outer beauty.
Here’s to a year of beauty, innovation, and growth!
