TalkCrush · Korea clinics & beauty
Clinic and beauty consultations in Korea, in your own language
At reception, in the consultation room or at a beauty shop, put your phone between you and the staff member.
You speak your language, they speak Korean, and TalkCrush says each line out loud in the other language. No buttons and no taking turns.
How to use it at a consultation, in 3 steps
Get connected before you go
Install TalkCrush and set up roaming or an eSIM. TalkCrush needs to be online.
Put the phone between you and pick the languages
Your language and Korean, with the phone on the desk where both of you can see the screen.
Ask and listen
No buttons and no taking turns: you hear and read the staff in your language, and they hear and read you in Korean.

What TalkCrush is, and what it is not
TalkCrush helps two people talk. It does not give medical advice, and it does not make medical judgments: diagnosis, treatment and medication decisions stay with your doctor. TalkCrush is not a medical interpreting service.
For anything important, such as consent forms, medication or aftercare instructions, ask the clinic for its written guidance and follow it.
International patients in Korea
About 2.01 million international patients came to Korea for medical care in 2025.

For clinics and shops: keeping it ready
Keep a phone with TalkCrush installed and signed in on the counter. When a visitor arrives, pick their language and Korean, and put the phone between you. TalkCrush is included in every BizCrush plan, including Free, which starts with 3 hours.
