Does anyone know exactly where the international clinic is located in Haebongchon? I googled it and came up with nothing.

"Pangit, " that's not it. From Noksapyeong station(line #6 between Samgakji and Itaewon) exit #2(I think), there are only a few exits, just ask someone/look at the map in the station which exit to go to Haebangchon. There are escalators going all the way up/out of the station. From there it is about a 15 minute walk. At first there is a nice sidewalk, when that ends you'll stay on the left, pass a Yongsan military gate, continue walking straight and up a bit for about 8-10 minutes, you'll pass a number of bars/restaurants. When the road begins to angle/turn left you'll see a Mart on the left down a few stairs, it is across the road. Don't go up the steep part of the hill or past 'BuytheWay.' A pharmacy is on the bottom floor and the International clinic is on the second floor, enter through a small doorway just left of the pharmacy doorway.

Do NOT go there for anything other than a doctor's note to get out of work. The clinic is dirty, there are no lab facilities, and she doesn't know what she's doing. I also strongly recommend NOT going to the International Clinic in Itaewon -- the guy's a glorified drug peddler. Go see Dr. Yu at the International Clinic in Soonchunhyang Hospital in Hannam-dong (a 1-minute cab ride from Itaewon). He can be a little overzealous sometimes but he's thorough.

Has anyone been here for an E-2 medeical check? I heard a rumour that they only charge 40,000 won per checkup, is this true? It sure would beat the 80k+ I've been paying at other hospitals.
