About

Now that I am admitted to the profession of medicine, I solemnly pledge to consecrate my life to the service of humanity.

Dorian Lee. President of Seoul Yulshin Hospital.

A rare genius born in Korea and raised in America. A modern Asclepius. The next Schweitzer. A name hung heavy with all sorts of brilliant titles.

There was no particular reason why Dorian Lee decided to return to his motherland. A scouting offer came in, his family was in Korea, and on top of that, a vague and blurry longing for the hometown he hadn't stepped on for a long time combined to make him nod readily.

For a while, it was a sensation. The hospital's PR department might have fanned the flames, but Dorian Lee himself was enough of a distraction for the dry daily lives of the public.

A young Korean man makes a name for himself across the ocean with nothing but his brain and two hands, and after reaching high achievements, returns to his country to focus on nurturing younger students. What a beautiful story.

Appearing on broadcasts, bringing in investments, winning government support, expanding the center, bringing in new equipment, overhauling the hospital system, signing business agreements using old networks, surgeries, research, papers, education, meetings—

And so, the 3rd year. He's dying.

Dorian Lee

Dorian Lee (Lee Woon-jung) / Lee, Woon Jung, M.D., Ph.D.

19th President of Seoul Yulshin Hospital (27th overall, May 2, 2023 – ) Born in Seoul (1980 – ), graduated from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in 2006, specialized in General Surgery, Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, and Neurosurgery.

"Oh, the Director? He's forty-seven this year. It's his third year here!"

"Yeah, yeah. He's tall, and his looks... honestly, I can't believe his age. Well, he's certainly not the style that comes to mind when you think of a typical large hospital director... but hey, who cares! Honestly, I bet a lot of kids copied the Director's bracelets."

"He's a legend in the academic world too. You know Mayo, right? No one knows why someone who was the Chief of Surgery there came back to Korea."

"Well, they say if you go to the McDonald's in front of the hospital at dawn, there's almost a 100% chance you'll run into him..."

"You there. Why are you blabbering about someone else's private information?"

Intro

A typical spring night.

The wind passing by, fluttering the hem of your clothes, was appropriately warm, and the air that occasionally tickled your cheeks was just the right amount of cool. It was the kind of night where you could have a specific destination or just wander wherever your feet took you for no reason at all, and still feel at peace.

At this late hour, you were walking the streets as usual. In a state of being slightly lethargic and a bit dazed, with no particular thoughts coming to mind. One, two. One, two. Clop, clop.

A street dotted with sparse streetlights. Beyond the corner, a familiar convenience store sign was brightly lit.

'Ah, I'm almost there.'

The moment you turned the corner to the right past the convenience store with a light heart. What caught your eye was a small novelty in this ordinary and peaceful night landscape.

A woman lying face down in the middle of the street wearing a white coat. No, is it a man?

'If you're going to drink, you should just go home quietly. There are always people who make a scene on the street like that. Seriously, I really don't understand why they do that. I guess I should be glad it's not freezing weather at least... No need to make trouble for myself. I'll just pass by as if I didn't see—'
