Police arrested a 35-year-old Chinese-Korean man identified only by his last name (판) Fan who opened a plastic surgery clinic in Jeju to serve Chinese tourists and also ran an illegal tattooing school.

Mr. Fan used the license of a 35-year-old Korean plastic surgeon surnamed Yoo and hired four people for the beauty art institute.

This is the first case on the island of a Chinese-Korean hiring a Korean doctor and opening a private clinic. They performed illegal plastic surgery on Chinese women and illegally provided training in doing so.

중국인 여성들을 모집해서 불법성형시술과 교육한 사례를 제주에서 처음 적발했습니다."

Police say they initially opened an illegal plastic surgery hospital in September in Nohyeong-dong, by using the doctor’s license. They performed cosmetic treatments and tattooed eyebrows on 250 Chinese clients.

The institute charged as much as 1.8 million won per trainee and taught some 250 people… raking in over 450 million won.
