A shocking story has been revealed about a 130-year-old infertility clinic in Gyeongju, known as a pilgrimage site for infertile couples, Han (Rep.).

The the 15th broadcast of EBS's "Seo Jang-hoon's Millionaire Next Door" featured an episode on Baek Jin-ho, a traditional Korean medicine practitioner whose family has maintained a five-generation tradition since the Joseon Dynasty, often referred to as the "Hyundai version of the Three Grandmothers."

For 130 years since its founding by his great-great-grandfather in 1890, the traditional Han (Rep.) has enjoyed unparalleled fame, with its fifth-generation director, Baek Jin-ho, remarking, "BTS has reservations, but our house does not."

In fact, the Han (Rep.) became known as a "holy land for infertility treatment," attracting patients from all over the country to the extent that tents were set up and people engaged in all-night waits, a phenomenon known as "homeless runs."

The background behind this Han (Rep.) gaining fame as a "renowned infertility clinic" is that its founding chief physician, the great-grandfather, also suffered from infertility and, after relentless research, was finally able to have children, leading to such a surge in patients queuing even at the village entrance that the clinic became bustling with activity.

Baek Jin-ho recalled, "Since childhood, I realized that seeing patients happy after treatment brought me more satisfaction than money." Like fate, he followed in his family's footsteps and became a traditional Korean medicine doctor at the age of 27, but in the early days, he struggled to gain patients' trust due to being "too young," so he began wearing hanbok to appear slightly older.

Baek Jin-ho (Director) stated, "By the time I reached around 50, all the patients who had been searching for their fathers came to me. Only then did I feel that I had finally stepped out from under my father's shadow and become the fifth-generation director."

Despite inheriting a family legacy spanning 130 years of Han (Rep.), Baek Jin-ho revealed, "My grandfather left behind only 6,000 won." At the heart of this was a philosophy of sharing. He explained, "My grandfather could not turn away from those in need and taught that no one in the neighborhood should go hungry." His father also lived a life of giving, organizing beef banquets for villagers. In response, Baek Jin-ho calmly smiled, saying, "What I inherited from my father is only the name Han (Rep.)."

Baek Jin-ho (Director) has taken over and operates a scholarship foundation established by his father, awarding scholarships totaling 1.3 billion won to over 1,300 recipients over the past 36 years. He emphasized, "If we have helped bring children into the world through infertility treatment, it is also our responsibility to help them grow well," and added, "While we are doing our best in infertility treatment, the greatest doctor is the state," stressing the importance of creating an environment conducive to childbirth.

Meanwhile, many celebrities have also visited the infertility clinic Han (Rep.) through broadcasts. In particular, the couple Kim Jun-ho and Kim Jimin traveled to Gyeongju for their honeymoon after getting married and visited the clinic Han (Rep.).
