KMI Gwanghwamun Health Screening Center Review! Save Big with Gumjin Gaja Discounts (Endoscopy & Meal Voucher Tips)
Discover an honest review of KMI Gwanghwamun Health Screening Center, covering cost-saving partner booking tips, conscious sedation endoscopy, and post-checkup meal voucher details.
Hello,
This is Gumjin Gaja.
Today, we bring you an honest review of an affordable, comprehensive checkup at the KMI Gwanghwamun Health Screening Center.
I never thought much about it when I was working at a company, but after becoming a full-time homemaker, medical checkup costs exceeding 400,000 KRW felt quite burdensome.
So after searching around, I discovered that you can book at a much more reasonable price through partner discounts on Gumjin Gaja!
KMI is widely trusted and frequently used nationwide for corporate health checkups.
As someone who is not currently an employee at a company, being able to get checkups at preferential rates through Gumjin Gaja was a true lifesaver.
Tips for Saving with Gumjin Gaja Partner Discounts!
Exclusive Partner Discounts
I was able to book a comprehensive health checkup package at a significantly more reasonable price than booking individually on my own.

Free Meal Voucher Provided
When you're starving after completing the fast and the exam, they kindly provide a meal voucher that can be used at nearby partner restaurants right away!
Please note: limited to 1 ticket per person, valid on the day of the checkup only, so make sure to use it right after your exam!
Location & Accessibility
It is right in front of Exit 6 of Gwanghwamun Station (Line 5), located in the Gwanghwamun Building on B1, 3F, and 4F, making it extremely easy to find.
If you are undergoing conscious sedation endoscopy, taking the subway rather than driving yourself is strongly recommended.
Gastroscopy (Endoscopy) Review
Out of all the examinations, the one I was most nervous about was definitely the gastroscopy!
Thanks to sedation, it was an absolute breeze.
For colonoscopy preparation, you can choose the pill option (Oralpang) instead of drinking massive amounts of liquid solution as in the past, which makes it far more manageable.
Since I had been fasting since morning, I sat in the waiting room only thinking about "what should I eat afterward?" But the moment I laid down on the bed and heard "Please turn to your side~", it was over in the blink of an eye! (Sedation works wonders... 👍)
After finishing all the tests, I wrapped up the day with a satisfying meal using the provided voucher.
It feels so refreshing to check off one of this year's biggest to-do items!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the location of KMI Gwanghwamun Center and how can I get there via public transit?
It is conveniently located right outside Exit 6 of Gwanghwamun Station (Line 5) on B1, 3F, and 4F of the Gwanghwamun Building. If you are scheduled for a sedation endoscopy, public transit like the subway is highly advised over driving.
Can I still receive Gumjin Gaja partner discounts if I am not an office worker?
Yes. Non-corporate individuals and homemakers can receive the exact same partner discounts. Booking through Gumjin Gaja allows you to access comprehensive screening packages at far lower rates than walk-in individual rates.
Are foreigners or overseas residents eligible for the same discounted rates?
Yes, foreign friends or relatives living overseas can receive health screenings at the exact same discounted rate as Korean nationals. If calling is difficult due to time zone differences, you can easily inquire through 24-hour KakaoTalk chat.
How do I use the meal voucher provided after the health checkup?
After your checkup is completed, you can use the voucher (1 ticket per person) at nearby partner restaurants on the same day. Because it is only valid on the examination day, we recommend using it immediately after your visit.
Can I take bowel prep pills instead of liquid solution for a colonoscopy?
Yes, you can choose Oralpang (tablet form) instead of drinking conventional liquid bowel preparation solutions. This makes prep significantly more comfortable for individuals who struggle with drinking large volumes of liquid medicine.
