“Illegalize it and regulate it'”
Lim Gil-won asked Hwang Joon-young.
“Yes, in fact, a company would freely access health information that is more sensitive than hospital records, but if it falls on the line of privacy laws, it can be regulated.
“Kaaaah!
Vice president Baek Joong-hyuk burst into admiration.
“As expected, he’s the CEO. It’s an excellent sight.”
However, Lim Gil-won frowned. He said as calmly as he could.
“CEO, it’s not going to be that easy.
“No? No?”
“In Korea, genetic testing could have originally required permission from a doctor. But now the law has been revised so that regular companies can do it voluntarily after receiving customer samples. Just last year.”
“…….”
“But it’s not easy to reverse it and make it illegal after a year of revision. Ryu Young-joon knew that and ran that business.”
“No, why would you allow a regular company to do that?”
Baek Joong-hyuk said in excitement.
“The trend in the international diagnostic market is moving in that direction. In the U.S., ordinary companies have done genetic testing on individuals since a long time ago.”
Lim Gil-won explained.
“Of course it wasn’t targeting disease-related genes. It was a racial root-finding service. America is a multiracial country.”
“As those companies grew, there was a growing market for diagnosing diseases. Of course, there was no one who bought 200 expensive equipment like Ryu Young-joon and went on a genome project at the same time and did a tremendous job.”
“So our country has relaxed regulations, too?”
Hwang Joon-young asked.
“That’s right, if you put pressure on the government now, it’s a reverse of the times. Even if the government overturns the statute, it’s only a matter of time. Eventually, you’re going to follow the trend again.”
There was a long silence at the meeting table.
“Then Lim. Isn’t there any good way?”
Hwang Joon-young asked.
“Let’s support Ryu in reverse. We don’t know exactly how the genetic testing business works yet. If CEO Ryu had prepared for the project even before he started, he should not be impatient and calmly come up with long-term alternatives. Let’s support Ryu and find out more.”
Hwang Joon-young smoothed his hair as if he was unwilling.
“Why don’t we push for a revision of the statute so that we can ask our clients for the results of the genetic test? And customers with high cancer rates just don’t get it.”
Hwang Joon-young asked.
“Oh…….”
Lim Gil-won let out a sigh.
Genetic testing is not a medical practice now, so there is no record at the Korea Medicare Service.
In addition, the items of consent to access personal information in the existing insurance policy are concentrated on the National Health Insurance Corporation.
Therefore, there is no legal justification for insurers to ask customers for the results of genetic testing in Eisen.
“Yes, you have to ask for it!”
Baek Joong-hyuk is up again.
“As the CEO said, if there is an imbalance in information, genetic tests show that people with high incidence may reversely choose insurance companies. Information must be equal.”
“It can be very bad for the insurance company’s image.”
Lim Gil-won pointed out.
“Mr. Lim. If you still have medical records and have received chemotherapy within the previous five years, you may refuse to apply for insurance or set a high premium. Isn’t that in the same vein?”
Baek Joong-hyuk said.
“But for ordinary people who don’t even have a history of developing it, isn’t it different to say, ‘I think you’re going to develop it, so you can’t get insurance?'”
“I don’t care. That’s how insurance companies will end up.”
Baek Joonghyuk cut it. Then he looked at the CEO.
“CEO, I’ll call the council members and push ahead with this.”
“But it takes time for the bill to be revised, so what about the people who are coming after genetic testing in Eisen in the meantime?”
asked Lim Gil-won.
“Ask if you’ve ever had a genetic test.”
Hwang Joon-young replied.
Hwang Joon-young replied.
“Not the test results? You’re just asking me if it’s a test?”
“Yes, and those who have been tested refuse to join on one pretext or another.”
“…….”
“If the situation is repeated, people may avoid genetic testing on their own. Do you know why?”
“Why?”
“What would people think if they had experience of having their insurance rejected after answering genetic tests?”
“…….”
“You’re wondering if the insurance company can access the genetic test results on some route we don’t know?”
Hwang Joon-young said.
“Then insurance won’t be a problem. You’ll start worrying about getting a job or getting a promotion. Which company would promote a person who has a 90% chance of developing lung cancer in their 50s? There’s a growing distrust that insurance companies can access this information, maybe Eisen can secretly sell health information. Let us add to the rumor by stealth. Then the growth rate of the genetic testing market will slow down very much. We can earn enough time to revise the bill.”
“Wow, I can’t keep up with you.”
Baek Joong-hyuk clapped briefly.
“…….”
Lim Gil-won’s mind became complicated.
Is it okay to do you think so?’
Something seemed to be going in the wrong direction.

World-renowned star scientist Ryu Young-joon is launching a diagnostic business.
It is a collaborative business between his home ground, Avio, and pharmaceutical giant Eisen.
This news swept the country at once.
There is no need for public relations. This is because the national media constantly talked about what the project was like.
Shin Jung-joo, a professor at Yonsei University, has been called to major broadcasters to explain what genetic testing is like.
“Steve Jobs, who died of pancreatic cancer, paid 120 million won for genetic testing before he died. I tried to analyze the genes of pancreatic cancer cells and find an optimized treatment.”
Professor Shin Jung-joo said.
“In just 10 years, the expensive inspection cost has fallen to the level of 1 million won. Service in Eisen is cheaper because it doesn’t analyze the entire DNA, it only checks some disease-related locations. In addition, the price is lower because the service is provided at a kind of ‘wholesale price’ based on large quantities of equipment. So, if you look at the promotion, they’re going to watch the disease genes for less than 100,000 won.”
“What do you like about it?”
The interviewer asked.
“What percentage of cancer is likely to occur when, in this way, we can predict the incidence. It becomes a very important thing in the field of health care.”
“How does the service work?”
“I asked Eisen about it and found out. It’s divided into three stages, and the customer asks Eisen to do a genetic test. Then Eisen will send you a small plastic container. Customers spit on it and send it back to Eisen by mail. That’s it. Next, Eisen amplifies the DNA in the saliva and analyzes the genes.”
The concept of genetic testing was very unfamiliar to citizens, but the word quickly became familiar because of its high interest in countless media outlets and Ryu Young-joon.
And the morning of the service.
Eisen’s first laboratory has been dogged by a flurry of requests for services since morning.
In an instant, the number of customers who applied for the service reached about 2,000.
And seven people applied for the service on a family basis.
“You know what? I heard from upstairs earlier that the service is closed in five hours.”
Lee Myung-guk of the Diagnostic Equipment Development Department said.
“I expected it, but it’s shocking.”
Senior Secretary Song Yu-ra washed her face dry.
“I should have gone to the genome project team.”
“That’s where Hell is again. Is it normal to decipher 100 million people’s DNA?….”
“That’s what I thought, so I’m here, and it’s a long time to think about the workload in the future.”
Lee Myung-guk sighed.
They went upstairs with a large plastic container.
It moved to the newly established division of the First Laboratory, the Genetic Testing Division.
There were mostly administrative staff here, but they were still answering the phone when the service application was already closed.
I’m sorry, but all applications for the same day’s genetic testing have been closed.…하는 말을 앵무새처럼 반복하고 있는 것이다.
“I brought a plastic container for the sample.”
Song Yu-ra said, putting a bag of containers on an empty table.
“Thank you, sir.”
“Thank you, sir.”
The manager, who had dark circles in a day, took over the goods and said,
“It’s not clear yet, but next time, our administration will prepare plastic containers and get samples from our customers and send them to the lab.”
“Yes……. Thank you. I think we can barely do 5,000 a day if we turn the machine and analyze the data. And this service is coming in internationally.”
“I’m a liberal arts major, so I don’t know about your process, but I know it’s going to be a lot of work. Way to go!”
“…Go for it, sir.
The two team leaders exchanged glances of subtle camaraderie.
“What are you doing?”
Ryu Young-joon appeared in the elevator.
“I know you’re all going through a lot, but please cheer up a little bit. I’ll pick more employees. I’m still looking for him.”
“Do you hire more researchers?”
Song Yu-ra asked.
“Yes, but how many scientists in the country can spin a billion-dollar Elimina device and analyze DNA data? I think you’re pretty much everything. So, we need to replenish the number of researchers overseas……, it’ll take a while.”
“…….”
“I can raise your annual salary.”
“Yes…….”
“Fighting.”
***
Ryu Young-joon entered a luxury bar in Gangnam.
This is because Kim Young-hoon of SG Group, one of Eisen’s directors, asked to meet here.
To Ryu Young-joon, Kim Young-hoon is quite a grateful figure.
He was the one who helped raise 20 billion won when he first founded Avio.
And when developing diagnostic kits, it found ways to link smartphones through mobile jacks.
The original origin was SG Electronics.
He has been in the position of raising Ryu Young-joon while keeping Yoon Dae-sung in check.
What about now?
At a time when innovations are the miracle shown ryuyeongjun ryuyeongjun arrest was so moved away, Kim Young-hoon kit development as its starting point turned into a powerful supporter.
“Eisen and Avio will merge someday, and the dinosaur pharmaceutical company should be led by Ryu Young-joon.’
Kim Young-hoon had been so determined.
And Kim Young-hoon has been listening to Lim Gil-won’s drinking habits for several days in SG Life, and finally called Ryu Young-joon to the drinking party today’s drinking party.
“Hello, I’m Ryu Young-joon.”
Ryu Young-joon shook hands with Lim Gil-won.
Lim Gil-won had already drunk a lot with Kim Young-hoon before Ryu Young-joon came.
However, when he met Ryu Young-joon, he looked sober and nervous.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Lim Gil-won of SG Life.”
He said hello.
“Now, let’s sit down, both of you.”
Kim Young-hoon put the two in their seats and said,
“You two are the most respected scientists and businessmen in my country. I’m so happy to introduce each other to you. Let’s talk.”
“I heard from Director Kim Young-hoon. You’ve been wanting to see me lately.”
Ryu Young-joon said.
“…….”
Lim Gil-won bit his lips and briefly refined his thoughts.
“Whoo.”
He gulped down a drink.
And he said as he wiped his mouth.
“Mr. Ryu, I’m trying to undermine Mr. Ryu’s genetic testing method in SG Life.”
“A genetic test?”
“Yes, we’re trying to create an atmosphere that makes it look like we’re selling genetic test results outside of Aizen by refusing to buy insurance for our clients who have been tested for genes.
“…….”
“That’s how we’re going to buy time and later include the genetic test results as a reference when we buy insurance. By revising the statute. And depending on the results of the test, we’re going to refuse to sign up.”
“That’s how we’re going to buy time and later include the genetic test results as a reference when we buy insurance. By revising the statute. And depending on the results of the test, we’re going to refuse to sign up.”
Ryu Young-joon stared at Lim Gil-won.
“Why are you telling me this?”
“What?”
“I knew that the genetic testing business could shock the insurance industry. I think you’ve come up with a response within SG Life, so why are you telling me?”
“…….”
Lim Gil-won’s expression became a little gloomy.
“Mr. Ryu, insurance is about dividing risks according to the law of algebra. It’s the last bastion of the poor working class to face the great disaster of disease.”
He said so.
“And genetic diagnosis is a technique for predicting the disaster. That’s also the hope of the common people.”
“…….”
“I don’t want the insurance industry to stand in the way of that technology. The genetic diagnosis project should be as prevalent as CEO Ryu does. And the insurance industry needs to find another way to survive accordingly, not this way. And you refuse to apply for insurance based on genetic testing. There’s no such thing. Then where do they get their protection when they get sick? He even has a high incidence. It’s not about sharing risks, it’s about driving them away.”
“I see.”
“This is not what I think the insurance industry has been doing so far.”
“…….”
“Many people were worried that I was a genius because I was a director in my 40s and that I was on a roll in the company. It’s funny to say this in front of a genius. I’m actually not that smart person. This industry was just attractive to me. So I just worked hard. The fact that we’re all going to share our risks in the future. How democratic.”
Lim Gil-won suddenly burst into laughter while speaking with a serious expression.
“Ha ha. Am I a little drunk? I’ve even said something unnecessary things.”
“No, it’s not.”
Ryu Young-joon smiled.
“And thank you for letting me know how SG Life is strategizing. I have a response.”
“A countermeasure?”
“Yes.”
“What is that!”
“I can’t talk to SG Life executives.”
Ryu Young-joon smiled.
“Oh…. Yes. That’s right. Don’t talk. I have no choice but to tell you when the CEO asks me.”
Lim Gil-won nodded as he smacked his lips.
“I need to go to the bathroom for a second.”
Ryu Young-joon got up from his seat.
He went around the hall and moved out of the bar building.
He took out his cell phone and called Yoon Dae-sung, CEO of Aizen.
“CEO, I’m sorry for late at night. Were you sleeping?”
No, I didn’t even get off work yet.
“Ha ha, I asked you to do something too hard, didn’t I? I’m sorry. I’ve been doing research and I don’t know the financial industry at all.”
– That’s okay. It’s not that big of a deal for me to create an insurance company in the form of a subsidiary of Eisen.
Yoon Dae-sung said.
“There’s something I’ve just heard, and the insurance industry seems to be reacting as I expected.”
That’s the norm. What kind of crazy person would do an insurance business that would sign up for a high-risk group based on genetic testing? I was surprised, too.
Ryu Young-joon smiled.
“If getting sick is a loss to the company, the way to improve profit or loss is not to prevent high-risk people from joining the company. Isn’t it best to sign up and get the insurance and then make sure the customer doesn’t get sick or diagnose it in the early stages and treat it cheaply?”
