South Korea, 11th Sep 2025 – The historical city of Chungbuk is all set to emerge as a holistic healing hub featuring forest meditation, advanced medical care, and 1,000-year-old hot springs. With the launch of Chungbuk Wellness and Medical Tourism Program, Chungbuk is establishing itself as a leading destination for wellness and medical tourism, offering visitors a unique combination of traditional Korean healing practices, cutting-edge medical care, and natural therapeutic resources.

Here, nature, meditation, spa rituals, herbal tea, and modern medicine come together to create a holistic path to healing. Visitors can meditate in a forest clearing with a wooden log, savor a farm-to-table feast of seasonal greens, soak in mineral-rich hot springs, and receive advanced health checkups, all within one restorative journey.

Once the geographic center of the Silla Kingdom, Chungju has long been known for its pristine forests and therapeutic hot springs. What was once a honeymoon destination famed for sulphur baths has now evolved into a refined wellness hotspot. Today, it draws not only couples but also international travelers seeking holistic healing programs.

At the center is Ongdalseam, where the Log Meditation program helps weary souls find peace. Participants gently roll a wooden log along the body while lying on a yoga mat, releasing tension and restoring balance from head to toe. The site also offers singing bowl meditation, the Happy Family Mind Journey, and soothing herbal teas, all designed to nurture relaxation and emotional harmony.

In nearby Suanbo Hot Spring Village, the Chungju Weedahm Integrated Hospital combines modern medicine with traditional therapies. With a philosophy of “healing life” rather than only curing illness, the hospital blends advanced checkups with therapies such as meridian treatment, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and aqua massage.

One highlight is Ren and Du Meridian Therapy, which targets two major energy channels in traditional Eastern medicine: the Conception Vessel (front) and Governing Vessel (back), to restore circulation and balance according to Yin-Yang theory. International guests benefit from interpretation and support services, ensuring a comfortable and welcoming experience.

Tucked into the forest near Suanbo Hot Springs, Slow Farmer offers hanjeongsik (traditional Korean table d’hôte) prepared with seasonal wild greens certified by K-Forest Food and slow-boiled pork. Guests can also join hands-on workshops, from making wild garlic pesto to enjoying rustic BBQs under the trees.

“We live in such a fast-paced world that taking time to pause and breathe is vital,” says Seongho Jeong, founder and CEO of Slow Farmer. “Here, guests reconnect with nature: smelling the forest, listening to valley streams, feeling textures beneath their fingertips. The slowness they find becomes a source of peace, healing, and renewed energy.”

The journey concludes with a soak in the Suanbo Hot Springs, Korea’s first naturally occurring hot spring, flowing for over 30,000 years. The water, drawn from 250 meters underground at 53°C with a mild alkalinity of pH 8.3, is famed for its minerals and therapeutic benefits.

Historical records note Suanbo Hot Springs as early as 1018 during King Hyeonjong’s reign, and King Taejo of the Joseon Dynasty often visited to ease skin ailments. For centuries, this “King’s Hot Spring” has been a source of rest and renewal.

Chungju Today: A Global Wellness Destination

In recent decades, Chungbuk Province, where Chungju is located, has grown into a hub for both wellness and medical tourism, attracting visitors from China, Mongolia, Russia, and Southeast Asia. The Global Tourism Forum recently ranked South Korea among the world’s Top 5 medical tourism destinations in 2025. Chungju, with its blend of pristine forests, innovative hospitals, and historic hot springs, reflects this achievement.

Whether stressed by city life, seeking a cultural retreat, or longing to exchange concrete for forest air, Chungju offers a Korean path to restoring body and mind. Hot springs bubble, autumn leaves sway, and deep in the woods, a healing memory awaits.

FXO Global Exchange and the Apex Trade (AT) team have each articulated a long-term focus on the responsible development of next-generation finance and technology, emphasizing sustainability, structural stability, and social value creation in an evolving global landscape.

While operating independently, both FXO and AT highlight the importance of aligning technological advancement with real-world needs, prudent risk management, and broader societal considerations.

Distinct Capabilities Addressing Evolving Market Needs

FXO Global Exchange is positioned as a financial infrastructure platform designed for global markets, with an emphasis on system stability, transparency, and long-term operational resilience. Its approach prioritizes the development of institutional-grade frameworks that support orderly market participation and sustainable growth.

Apex Trade (AT), meanwhile, operates as a professional analytical team focused on financial market research and interdisciplinary analysis. The team brings together contributors from fields including financial markets, digital assets, artificial intelligence, and data science, developing structured analytical models intended to support informed decision-making in complex market environments.

Long-Term Orientation and Development Philosophy

Apex Trade operates under the guiding principle of “Technology leading life, working hand in hand with the world,” reflecting its emphasis on global awareness, analytical rigor, and responsible innovation. Its work focuses on examining how emerging technologies intersect with financial systems and broader social dynamics.

FXO similarly underscores a long-term development philosophy, highlighting the importance of stability, transparency, and value creation over short-term expansion. The platform’s stated objective is to contribute to financial ecosystems that are resilient, rational, and aligned with sustainable development goals.

Global Perspective and Professional Research Focus

The AT team consists of analysts and researchers from multiple regions, contributing diverse professional backgrounds and perspectives. Through cross-disciplinary collaboration, the team has developed analytical frameworks aimed at evaluating market structure, technological trends, and long-term system behavior.

AT has indicated that it maintains, or is preparing, operational and research presences in several regions as part of its broader global outlook.

Emphasis on Social Responsibility and “Technology for Good”

Both FXO and Apex Trade emphasize that technological and financial innovation should extend beyond efficiency and scale, incorporating social responsibility and public-interest considerations. Each organization has highlighted the importance of applying technology in ways that support sustainability, social equity, and long-term societal benefit.

This perspective reflects a broader industry discussion around “technology for good,” where innovation is evaluated not only on performance metrics but also on its contribution to structural stability and social well-being.

Industry Outlook

As global finance and technology continue to evolve, FXO and Apex Trade each maintain that future progress will depend on rational development, responsible governance, and a commitment to long-term value creation. Their respective approaches illustrate how independent organizations can contribute to this broader direction through infrastructure development, analytical research, and principled innovation.

Conclusion

The perspectives outlined by FXO Global Exchange and Apex Trade reflect a shared emphasis on sustainability, responsibility, and long-term thinking in next-generation finance and technology. As industry participants increasingly focus on structural integrity and social impact, such approaches continue to shape discussions around the future of global financial and technological systems.
