How this count is made, and what it leaves out

The figure for South Korea is not a soft directory number. Here is exactly what it counts, what it excludes, and how to check it.

What is counted

An organization is counted when it delivers something to a person with the intent of extending healthy years, through clinical care, screening, diagnostics, or a structured preventive program, and when it is published, not closed, and not a duplicate listing. The 6 figure for South Korea counts every such organization across all four pillars of the healthspan economy.

What is left out, and how much

  • 1 organization mapped in South Korea is held out of this count as a fertility or IVF clinic or a pure booking or telehealth platform: CHA Fertility Center Seoul Station . They keep their Atlas entry, they are only outside the geographic count.
  • No organization recorded in South Korea is closed.
  • Organizations still under review, and those announced but not yet open, are held back before publication. They carry no place in the published data, so they are counted nowhere in the Atlas, including here.
  • Aesthetic-only providers, product-only companies, investors, publishers, and events are out of scope for the Atlas and are never recorded as organizations.

What this does not claim

The Atlas records, it does not rate. There is no ranking, no score, and no paid placement. No organization pays to appear or to rank, here or anywhere in the Atlas.

How to check

South Korea lists every counted organization on this page, with the count broken down by pillar above. The figure is the sum of that breakdown, reproducible line by line. See how the geographic count is derived.

Where are they concentrated in South Korea?

The Atlas records these city concentrations in South Korea, each with three or more mapped organizations.

  • 5 Seoul

A further 1 organization is spread across smaller cities in South Korea or have no city on record, counted for the country but not shown as a concentration.

How is longevity medicine regulated in South Korea?

South Korea classifies every medical institution into three tiers and, since a 2024 amendment reported to take effect in 2025, lets designated institutions provide advanced regenerative therapy as billable care. The amendment's details rest on non-primary text. No tier is specific to longevity.

No dedicated longevity category exists. Medical institutions fall into three tiers.

The Advanced Regenerative Bio Act originally confined advanced regenerative medicine largely to clinical research that patients could not be charged for.
Ministry of Food and Drug Safety; Ministry of Health and Welfare, Advanced Regenerative Bio Act (Act No. 16556 of 2019), in force August 28, 2020. Primary source .
A 2024 amendment is reported to create a category of advanced regenerative medicine treatment that lets designated institutions provide the therapy as billable care to patients with serious, rare or incurable conditions. The official English text had not published at the time of the check, so the effective date, the article numbers and the approval term rest on non-primary sources and should be confirmed against the Korean original.

Medium confidence, driven by the 2024 amendment. Its effective date, article numbers and approval term rest on non-primary text because the official English translation had not published, and are flagged in the amendment entry above.
