A Visionary Pioneer Redefining Regenerative Medicine

Dr.  June Seob Song:

Dr. June Seob Song (M.D., Ph.D.), a board-certified orthopedic surgeon, is a world-renowned authority in the field of stem cell cartilage regeneration. Currently serving as the Founder of Gangnam JS Hospital in Seoul, Korea, Dr. Song is setting a new global standard for "Regenerative Medicine" that goes beyond mere treatment to fundamentally improve human quality of life.

The 3,000-Case Milestone: A Global Record of Clinical Excellence

Dr. June Seob Song’s career is synonymous with the history of stem cell therapy. He holds the world’s most extensive clinical record, having performed more than 3,000 successful stem cell implantations for cartilage regeneration.

This unprecedented achievement serves as a powerful indicator of his surgical precision and clinical predictability. As a result, Gangnam JS Hospital has become a global hub for regenerative treatment, attracting patients from the USA, Europe, and the Middle East who seek his specialized "Last Resort" therapies to overcome the limitations of conventional treatments.

Beyond Artificial Joints: Leading the Era of 'Native Joint Regeneration'

Dr. Song is leading a fundamental paradigm shift in the history of orthopedics. He is moving away from the traditional focus on Total Knee Replacement (TKR) and toward "Native Joint Regeneration," which aims to preserve and restore a patient's own biological joints.

His core philosophy is rooted in the belief that artificial structures made of metal and plastic can never truly replace natural cartilage. By utilizing mesenchymal stem cells, he regenerates actual Hyaline Cartilage, offering a permanent solution that provides superior durability and functional outcomes compared to mechanical replacements.

Furthermore, he employs bio-mechanical optimization by combining stem cell therapy with High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) to ensure that regenerated cartilage thrives under optimal alignment.

From National Team Physician to Every Patient

Dr. Song’s rigorous surgical precision was proven on the grandest stages of international sports. He served as the Chief Team Physician for the South Korea National FootballTeam during major global events, including the 2010 FIFA World Cup (South Africa), the 2012 London Olympic Games, and the 2014 FIFA World Cup (Brazil).

He now applies the same exacting standards required by elite professional athletes to every one of his patients. His ultimate goal is to achieve "Complete Functional Regeneration," allowing individuals to return to high-impact activities such as hiking and tennis—sports that are often restricted following traditional artificial joint surgery.

Academic Leadership and Continuous Innovation

The clinical success of Dr. Song is built upon a solid academic foundation. He earned his Ph.D. in Medicine from Chosun University and has served as a Professor of Orthopedic Surgery. He remains an active leader in the medical community, serving as the Vice Chairman of the Medical Committee for the Korea Football Association and holding various committee roles in the Korean Orthopaedic Association and the Korean Society for Sports Medicine.

His research on the efficacy of allogenic umbilical cord blood–derived mesenchymal stem cells is extensively documented in prestigious SCI/SCIE indexed journals, including the Orthopedic Journal of Sports Medicine , World Journal of Stem Cells, and Scientific Reports.
