Ryu Hye-min



Q1. What is the purpose of establishing Freemed?


  1. Currently, lots of medical bussinesses only focus on treatment of disease. However, prevention, diagnosis, and rehabilitation are also important in medicine. Therefore, we founded the Freemed to provide medical help for the socially weak by developing various medical activities.



Q2. What do you do exactly in Freemed? 


  1. I am managing 150 members of 7 headquarters, and operating 3 businesses. I usually deal with the legal matters or connect with governmental agencies.



Q3. Could you tell us what is your impressive memory?

  1. I stayed for 3 days in one area to teach health education to children. One of the elementary school students was afraid of strangers heavily and had a lack of social skills. However, I became close with the kid after 3 days of teaching and talking. The kid came and hugged me first in the last class. I was really pleased to share my mind with the children and find out the essence of education.



Q4. What are the projects under way? Do you have any plans for the future?


  1. Firstly, the health clinic for the underprivileged has been operating for 10 years in Seoul Station. Secondly, health educational curriculums have been arranged for rural children. We have scheduled to launch health educational programs for children, teenagers, and the elderly in the highlands and islands. Finaly, medical campaigns and educational programs are being conducted in Kenya and the Philippines as a part of the overseas health care projects. We will also go to Cambodia as soon as possible.



Q5. Is there anything that you would like to say for Sangmyung University students?


  1. There are only two Sangmyung University students including me. In addition, few of the 200~300 applicants are Sangmyung University students. We do not care about the major of the applicant but his or her passion. I wish for many SMU students to show their abilities in Freemed.



Q6. Please tell us how to apply for Freemed.


  1. We are going to start recruting between December to next January. People who want to join us can apply to Freemed through the promotion bulletin board of ‘Every time’ or our website (www.freemed.or.kr). Foreign students can also apply to join us if they have Korean language skills.
