Special Connections Forged in Hong Kong and Shenzhen: Pixel Lab's Global Networking Story
Pixel Lab's Director Kim Seon-hyeong represented the clinic at BNI meetings and a JCI signing ceremony in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, meeting local contacts and building new overseas connections.
Hello,
Pixel Lab Plastic Surgery
This is Song Jong-geun, Representative Director of Pixel Lab Plastic Surgery.
Not long ago, I shared news about the World Korean Economic and Trade Expo held in Shenzhen, China.

Today, I'd like to share another story that unfolded alongside that schedule. It's about the new connections we made in Hong Kong and Shenzhen.
I did not attend this schedule in person. Director Kim Seon-hyeong went on behalf of Pixel Lab.
Looking at the photos sent from the scene, I could see that Director Kim met far more people than I had expected. Thanks to those photos, I was able to get a sense of the atmosphere on site, even if only a little.
After all, business is also about relationships between people.
Running a hospital, I've come to realize there is so much more to do beyond patient care. That is especially true when building new partnerships overseas. We work in different countries, speak different languages, and are used to different environments. But when I think about it, what matters most seems to be the same.
It is the process of getting to know one another and building trust.
During this schedule, Director Kim Seon-hyeong also attended a BNI business meeting held in Shenzhen, China. BNI is a global networking organization where business owners from a wide range of industries exchange ideas and build business relationships based on trust. This time, Director Kim was able to greet members of the Shenzhen BNI chapter and have conversations with them.
Before any business cards changed hands, what was shared first was laughter.
When people think of an overseas business meeting, they tend to imagine a rather stiff atmosphere. But the photos I received this time showed a far more relaxed and cheerful scene than I expected. Everyone smiled as they took commemorative photos together, and it sounds like the meeting was a place to introduce each person's work and share stories. Though their languages and industries differ, the desire to build good relationships is probably the same.
I, too, have noticed something while meeting patients at the hospital. Building trust with someone you meet for the first time isn't simply a matter of explaining things well. It seems to take shape little by little, as you listen fully to the other person's story and talk through their questions together. I think business is not so different in the end.
From Shenzhen to Hong Kong, the connections continued.
The networking schedule did not end in Shenzhen. In Hong Kong, Director Kim also attended a BNI chapter meeting and spent time exchanging ideas with local business contacts. Moving between several venues in a short time, Director Kim met a wide range of people, so it must have been a busy schedule. At the Hong Kong BNI MAMBA chapter meeting, Director Kim introduced Pixel Lab and greeted local contacts.
These relationships are still close to first meetings. But as small encounters like these accumulate, opportunities to help one another may arise in the future. I believe the process of forming new relationships has meaning in itself. Even if there are no visible results right away, time to get to know one another is necessary.
Another gathering that connects Hong Kong and Seoul
During this schedule, there was also a signing ceremony between JCI Island and JCI Korea-Seoul. JCI is an international organization of young leaders who carry out a wide range of activities, including community engagement and international exchange. Director Kim also joined the signing ceremony and observed the exchange between officials from both regions.
The photos also showed people holding banners that symbolize Hong Kong and Seoul. Seeing people active in different regions come together to exchange ideas was truly impressive. It was encouraging that Pixel Lab was also able to form new connections in a setting where people from diverse fields come together.
I hope these good connections will continue for a long time.
During this trip, Director Kim met a great many people. From the expo to business meetings and networking events, many schedules were packed into a short period. Looking through the photos one by one, I could see how full the itinerary was. That means there were plenty of chances to talk with new people.
Of course, not all of these meetings will lead directly to partnerships. We need time to get to know one another, and we'll need to carefully look at whether there are concrete projects we can actually work on together. I hope the connections formed this time will continue to grow into good relationships.
I meet patients in the exam room, while Director Kim is finding new possibilities for Pixel Lab outside the hospital. Our roles are different, but I believe we ultimately share the same desire to move Pixel Lab in a better direction.
Thank you, Director Kim Seon-hyeong, for making the long trip to Hong Kong and Shenzhen and for all your hard work.
Going forward, Pixel Lab will continue to communicate steadily with various overseas partners and maintain good relationships.
I'm looking forward to sharing what news comes next. Thank you for reading this long post today.

Sincerely, Song Jong-geun, Representative Director
