Standing on the streets of Myeongdong, with Li Yan’s address saved in your phone, you suddenly find yourself at a loss: “How on earth do I make a reservation?”
This is probably the dilemma that everyone considering visiting Laneige stores in Myeongdong faces. Is the official website only in Korean? Who should I add on WeChat? Can I find anyone on LINE? Can I just walk in directly?
Don’t worry—I spent an entire afternoon compiling all the 5 reservation methods available at Liyan’s Myeongdong store. I detailed each method, including the most recommended WeChat customer service, online reservations through the official website, and reservations made through BeautsGO. I also listed the steps involved, the response times, and the pros and cons of each option. After reading this article, you should be able to complete the reservation process in just 5 minutes.
In a nutshell: For reservations at Liyan in Myeongdong, it is highly recommended to use WeChat (lianjangcn) or the official website for online reservations. The Chinese customer service responds quickly, and the Myeongdong store provides Chinese-speaking staff and supports Alipay/WeChat Pay. It is advised to make reservations 3-5 days in advance, as during peak times (on weekends or in the afternoon), you may have to wait up to a week.
Let’s first get to know Liyan Chang from Myeongdong.
Lienjang is a large-scale chain Dermatology brand in South Korea, which has been in operation for over 20 years since its establishment in 2004. It has branches in Seoul, including locations in Gangnam, Myeongdong, and Hongdae, as well as a branch in Incheon. In our previous comparison of Lienjang and PPEUM in Myeongdong, Lienjang was described as a “high-value-for-money chain brand,” known for its transparent pricing, excellent Chinese-speaking services, and support for various payment methods such as Alipay, WeChat, and UnionPay.
- Address of the Myeongdong store: 5th floor, No. 14 Myeongdong-gil, Jung District, Seoul
- Transportation: 🚇 It takes about 5 minutes to walk from Exit 6 of Myeongdong Station on Line 4 of the subway, or about 8 minutes to walk from Exit 6 of Eupji-ro Entrance Station on Line 2.
- LocalPriceKorea rating: ⭐ 4.5 / 5.0 (11 reviews, 8 of which are five-star evaluations)
- Features: Transparent and publicly displayed prices, Chinese translation services, support for Alipay, WeChat Pay, and UnionPay cards.
📱 A comprehensive comparison of 5 different booking methods
Below are five different reservation methods that I have personally tested. Ranked from the most recommended option to the backup plan, each has its own advantages and disadvantages:
| How to make an appointment | Response speed | Recommendation rating | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 💬 WeChat Customer Service | ⚡ Hurry up! | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | The top choice for Chinese people |
| 📱 LINE Customer Service | ⚡ Hurry up! | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Users from Taiwan and Hong Kong |
| 🌐 Online reservation on the official website | 🕐 Within 1 day | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | People who prefer using forms |
| ⚡ Hurry up! | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Overseas Chinese | |
| 🟢 Book your appointment with BeautsGO | 🕐 Within 24 hours | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | People I don’t want to contact myself. |
💬 Method 1: WeChat reservation (highly recommended)
If you use WeChat, this is the fastest way to make an appointment.
- Open WeChat and search for the public account “lianjangcn” (or scan the QR Code on their official website).
- After following the official account, simply send a message stating that you would like to make an appointment at the Myeongdong store, indicating which treatment you want to undergo, and specifying the desired date and time.
- The customer service will send you a reservation form, which you need to fill out with the following information: your passport number, English name, gender, date of birth, mobile phone number (including the country code), nationality, and the desired date and time for the reservation.
- After filling it out, send it back to the customer service. Once they confirm that there is an available time slot, they will send you a confirmation message.
- Upon receiving the confirmation message, your reservation is successful!
Response time: weekdays 09:00-19:00 (lunch break 13:00-14:00), Saturdays 09:00-17:00, Sundays 10:00-16:00. Generally, if you send a message during the customer service’s online hours, you will receive a response within 10-30 minutes.
⚠️ Note: From 13:00 to 14:00 noon, it is lunch break time, and the customer service team will not respond to messages. If you send a message during this period, you will not receive a reply until after 2:00 pm.
📱 Method 2: LINE reservation (the preferred option for users in Taiwan and Hong Kong)
Users in Taiwan and Hong Kong are accustomed to using LINE, and Liyan also often has an official LINE account.
- Open LINE and search for the official account “lianjangcn”.
- After adding someone as a friend, you can send messages directly – the process is just the same as on WeChat.
- The customer service will provide a Chinese reservation form; just fill it out and send it back.
The response speed and service quality of LINE customer service are exactly the same as those of WeChat; the only difference lies in the communication platform. If you don’t usually use WeChat, LINE is undoubtedly the most convenient option.
🌐 Method 3: Online reservation through the official website
Lianjian often has a Chinese official website (cnlienjang.com), where you can directly make reservations.
- Visit the reservation page on the official website: lienjang.doctoron24.com/cn/
- Select a branch (for the Myeongdong branch, choose “Myeongdong”), and fill in your personal information and the services you wish to receive.
- After submitting the form, our customer service will contact you via the contact information you provided (WeChat/LINE/WhatsApp) within one working day to confirm the submission.
Difference from WeChat/LINE: When making a reservation through the official website, you need to wait for the customer service to respond and confirm it, which is not as immediate as sending a private message directly to the customer service. If you don’t have an urgent need (for example, if you are booking one week in advance), filling out the form on the official website is quite convenient; however, if you need to have the procedure done tomorrow, it is recommended that you use WeChat or LINE instead.
📞 Method 4: Make an appointment via WhatsApp
If you are an overseas Chinese using WhatsApp (from places like Singapore or Malaysia), you can directly add Li Yan Chang on WhatsApp.
WhatsApp: +82-10-8769-3625 (Lienjang China)
After adding the contact, you can directly send a message to make an appointment. The process is the same as using WeChat or LINE. WhatsApp also responds quite quickly; usually, the customer service will reply within 10 to 30 minutes during their online hours.
🟢 Method 5: Book through BeautsGO (the most hassle-free way)
If you don’t want to go through the complicated process of making appointments yourself, you can let BeautsGO handle it for you. All you need to do is tell the BeautsGO customer service team which branch you want to visit, what treatment you would like to receive, and the desired date. They will take care of the rest for you.
This approach is particularly suitable for those who are going to South Korea for medical beauty treatments for the first time – because the customer service at BeautsGO can help you compare the schedules and prices of multiple clinics at the same time, eliminating the need for you to contact them one by one on your own.

📍 How to get to the Myeongdong store (transportation guide)
The Liyan Myeongdong store is located in the heart of the Myeongdong shopping district, making it very easy to find.
- 🚇 Exit 6 of Myeongdong Station on Line 4 → After exiting, walk straight for about 3 minutes. Once you see the OLIVE YOUNG flagship store in Myeongdong, turn left. The target location is on the 5th floor of Building 14, Myeongdong Street.
- 🚇 Exit 6 of Station 2-b at the entrance of Subway Line 2 → After exiting, walk in the direction of Myeongdong for about 8 minutes.
- 🏢 Building Exterior: “14 Myeongdong-gil” is a commercial building that houses a café and a cosmetics store on the ground floor; Li Yan often goes to the 5th floor.
If you have previously looked at the map showing the locations of Dermatology clinics in Myeongdong, you will know that the LIJIN store in Myeongdong, as well as nearby clinics such as PPEUM, DAN-A, and LIJIN, are all within a 5-10-minute walking distance. People interested in medical aesthetics can easily consult with several of these clinics in the same afternoon.

⚠️ 3 things that are most likely to go wrong when making an appointment
⚠️ Mistake 1: Setting off without confirming the appointment details.
Many people think that filling out a form on the official website means the reservation is successful, but in fact, the customer service will confirm the time with you via WeChat or LINE. If no confirmation is received, it means the reservation has not been confirmed.
→ How to avoid this: After submitting the form, you must respond to the customer service confirmation message within 24 hours for the reservation to be considered successful.
⚠️ Mistake 2: Failing to take into account the lunch break time (13:00-14:00)
During their lunch break, the customer service team at Liyan often does not respond to messages. If you send a reservation request at 12:50, you might not receive a reply until after 2 pm, which could be too late for those with tight schedules.
→ How to avoid it: Avoid contacting them during lunch breaks, or send a message the night before – you should receive a reply the next morning.
⚠️ Mistake 3: Assuming that information is shared across all branches.
Li Yan’s medical records are not shared across different branches. If you have previously received treatment at the Gangnam branch, you will need to fill out new information when visiting the Myeongdong branch and provide details about your previous treatments.
→ How to avoid it: When making an appointment, inform the customer service in advance about which branch you have visited before and what treatments you have undergone there, and bring along photos of your previous treatment records.
💡 No sympathy for reservation requests under these circumstances
- If you have already decided on the treatment you want to undergo, it’s most efficient to make an online reservation through the official website or send a private message to the WeChat customer service, specifying the treatment you desire, the date, and the branch where you would like to receive the service.
- If you’re still not sure which treatment to choose, please add me on WeChat (lianjangcn) for consultation. Tell the customer service your requirements, and they will help you recommend suitable treatments and clinics.
- If your schedule is tight and you need to book a appointment on the same day: contact the customer service (WeChat/LINE) as soon as the store opens at 9 a.m. to inquire whether there are any available slots. Due to the large number of foreign tourists, there are sometimes last-minute cancellations at the Myeongdong store.
- If multiple people make reservations together, each person must fill out the reservation form individually. If you submit all the forms within the same WeChat conversation at once, our customer service will try their best to arrange similar appointment times for everyone.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much in advance should one usually book a appointment at Myeongdong Lianyan?
A: It is recommended to make an appointment 3 to 5 days in advance. On weekdays, it is usually possible to get a spot if you book 2 to 3 days in advance; however, on weekends and during holidays, you may need to reserve your place a week in advance. If you would like Dr. Shi to perform the procedure for you, it is advisable to make an appointment more than a week in advance.
Q: Is a deposit required for making a reservation?
A: Generally, there is no need to pay a deposit when making an appointment through the official website or customer service; you can pay upon arrival. However, for popular treatments (such as Thermage FLX) or group reservations involving multiple people, the customer service may request a small deposit to secure the reserved time slot.
Q: Is there any Chinese translation available for Myeongdong Lianyan?
A: Yes! The Myeongdong store provides Chinese translation services, and Chinese staff will accompany you throughout the consultation process, so you don’t have to worry about language barriers. The customer service WeChat account (lianjangcn) also offers Chinese-language support.
Q: Can I just go in on the same day to make a reservation?
A: You can give it a try, but it’s not recommended. Due to the large number of foreign tourists, the success rate of walk-in appointments at the Liyan Myeongdong store is relatively low, especially on weekends and in the afternoons. It is advised to confirm available times at least one day in advance through WeChat or the official website.
Q: How should I proceed if I want to cancel or reschedule an appointment?
A: You can simply contact the customer service through which you made your reservation (WeChat/LINE/WhatsApp) and inform them that you wish to cancel or reschedule your appointment. It is recommended to notify them at least one day in advance; canceling on the same day may incur additional fees, so please refer to the specific instructions provided by the customer service.
Q: What documents do I need to bring when making an appointment?
A: The following information is required: the English name on the passport, gender, date of birth, mobile phone number (including the country code), nationality, the desired appointment date and time, the specific treatment you would like to undergo, and whether you have visited any other branches of Liyan Chang. If you have previously undergone medical beauty treatments, it is recommended to bring along photos of your previous treatment records.
📌 My conclusion: Make regular appointments at Liyan Clinic – it’s the easiest way to go about it.
To be honest, Liyan is undoubtedly the South Korean dermatology chain that offers the most comprehensive Chinese-language services I have ever encountered. They provide Chinese customer service through WeChat, LINE, and WhatsApp, and their official website is also in Chinese. Even Alipay and WeChat Pay are supported – it is no exaggeration at all to describe them as “a South Korean dermatology clinic tailored specifically for the Chinese community.”
If you ask me which booking method I recommend, my answer would be:
- If you are in Taiwan/Hong Kong, use LINE (lianjangcn) for the fastest and most convenient way to communicate.
- If you are in mainland China, follow our WeChat public account (lianjangcn) – our customer service responds extremely quickly.
- If you don’t want to make the contact yourself, just book through BeautsGO and wait for confirmation.
- If you plan more than a week in advance, you can also fill out the form on the official website, but don’t forget to check for confirmation messages from the customer service.
One last little tip: When making an appointment, you can also ask the customer service about any current promotional offers. Liyan often offers different discount schemes every month, and some people only realize afterwards that by asking in advance, they could have saved anywhere from ¥95,000 to ¥100,000—which is really a great saving.
