Traveling to Seoul is an incredible experience — the food, the culture, the shopping in Apgujeong and Cheongdam. But what happens when you suddenly feel unwell, late at night or on a public holiday, and don’t know where to go?
If you’re staying in or around Gangnam, here’s everything you need to know about finding a clinic that’s actually open when you need it.
The Problem Most Tourists Face
Most clinics in South Korea close by 6 PM on weekdays and don’t open at all on Sundays or public holidays. If you come down with a fever, need IV fluids for exhaustion or food poisoning, or your child gets sick in the middle of a holiday weekend — your options are usually limited to a crowded emergency room.
But there’s a better option in Gangnam.
Ordinary Clinic (보통의의원) — Open 365 Days a Year, Until 10:30 PM
Ordinary Clinic is an internal medicine and pediatrics clinic located in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Unlike most clinics in the city, it operates every single day of the year — including Chuseok, Lunar New Year, and all public holidays — from 9:00 AM to 10:30 PM.
No matter what day you arrive or how late your symptoms start, this clinic will be open.
The clinic’s name in Korean is 보통의의원, pronounced “Bo-tong-eui Ui-won” — useful to know if you need to ask a taxi driver or a local for directions.
