A MAST or specific-IgE panel measures antibodies against dozens of allergens from a single blood sample, and total IgE says how allergic you are in general. It is the test to take when you suspect an allergy and cannot get skin testing done at home, and it is the one on this site most often bought for the wrong reason.
KMI's domestic Allergy precision program tests 118 allergens, ≈₩720,000.
No skin pricks, no stopping antihistamines beforehand, which is the practical advantage over skin testing.
MediOne's Premium program, ≈₩2,000,000 band, which lists a MAST allergy panel. Hanaro adds total IgE in Platinum.
Whole Body, ≈₩3,000,000, which bundles a MASTOCHECK panel.
One week is the earliest an imaging slot can be held, and there is no referral step before it.
English report in your hands in about a week. You also get a consultation on preliminary findings on the day of the screening, before you leave.
Programme contents and prices from each partner centre's own foreigner-facing published list, read 2026-08-05: KMI Global, Hanaro Medical Foundation's English site and MediOne's English site. Standalone per-test prices are MediOne's 비급여 (non-covered) posting, the itemised list 의료법 제45조 requires a clinic to publish, read the same day.

Sensitisation: whether your immune system has made IgE antibodies against a given allergen. It covers pollens, dust mite, animal dander, moulds and a long list of foods in one draw, and it works while you are taking antihistamines.
Sensitisation is not allergy. A positive result for a food you eat without incident means you are sensitised and not allergic, and food-panel results are the single most over-interpreted output of any screening program. Diagnosis needs the result read against your actual history.
Suits: Anyone with seasonal symptoms they have never had tested, anyone with unexplained rhinitis or eczema, and anyone who cannot access skin-prick testing at home.
Should not have it: Anyone hoping to find the cause of vague fatigue or bloating in a food panel. Cutting foods on the strength of an IgE number alone is how people end up on needlessly narrow diets, and no reputable allergy guidance supports it.
Skin-prick testing is faster, cheaper and read in twenty minutes, but needs antihistamines stopped days beforehand and a clinician to interpret it live. A blood panel trades immediacy for convenience, which is exactly the right trade on a screening trip.
Not on the three tiers this site prices. KMI publishes a dedicated 118-allergen Allergy precision program domestically at ≈₩720,000, MediOne includes a MAST panel in its Premium program, and Hanaro adds total IgE in Platinum. If allergy is the reason for the trip, KMI's focused program is the direct route rather than a tier.
