We strongly recommend that you obtain travelers insurance before coming, especially if your stay will be for longer than a week. The government of Korea does not support the medical expenses of foreigners, so even when a discount is applied for the trainees using the CheongShim International Medical Center, the bill will come out quite costly.

Some examples are:
- $50 for an examination and cold medicine
- $50 for an X-ray
- $60 for going to the emergency room at night hours for severe stomach pain caused by eating foods that didn’t suit your body
- $100 per night if you are hospitalized for any reason (treatment costs not included)

Please make sure you check all details with the insurance company as to whether or not the insurance policy is valid in South Korea. Also, even if you obtain a travelers insurance, most companies will ask you to pay the hospital fee first, and then reimburse you later. Please prepare extra money for emergency medical expenses. Credit cards are also accepted at the HJ Magnolia International Hospital.

To maintain an orderly training environment that allows you to concentrate on your workshop, Cheongpyeong does not provide Wi-Fi on the training center grounds. It is possible to contact home, etc. in your free time in the following ways:

1- Telephone: There are public phones that can be used with a calling card. The calling cards are sold at the Korean office for 10,000won (about 10 USD)
2- Wi-Fi is available in the CheongShim International Medical Center lobby, and you can use it after getting a pass to go to the hospital from the international office.
3- Computer in the international office: It is possible to use the computer in the international office for a short time in the case of an emergency.

Cheongpyeong recommends that trainees, especially during the 40-day day and 21-day workshops, to come after making arrangements so that they do not need to worry about constantly keeping in contact with any matters outside the training center.
