Professor Chang-Hun Huh remarked, “Hosting WCHR 2026 in Seoul has made me truly realize Korea’s elevated standing in the field of hair research. I will continue to do my utmost to help position our country as a global leader in hair research.”“I hope that the 1,700 participants from around the world will have the opportunity to exchange valuable knowledge and fully experience Korean culture. After such a long period of preparation, it is finally time to enjoy this celebration.”Professor Chang-Hun Huh (Vice President of The Korean Hair Research Society and Department of Dermatology, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital) spoke with the excitement of someone whose long-held dream had finally come true.During the annual meeting of The Korean Hair Research Society in 2023, Professor Chang-Hun Huh expressed his determination to bring the World Congress for Hair Research (WCHR 2026) to Seoul. That aspiration has now become a reality. As a Co-Chair of the congress, he once again sat down with reporters at the venue of the 14th World Congress for Hair Research, which officially opened on May 28.– Three years ago, you said that you would bring WCHR 2026 to Seoul. What efforts did you make?The host city of WCHR 2026 is decided by the board of the International Federation of Hair Research Societies. The federation consists of eight member societies. Beginning with the American Hair Research Society meeting held in Dallas two years ago, I attended every member society meeting at least once and actively promoted the congress in addition to giving lectures.After the host city was selected, we also conducted virtual lectures for researchers in Russia and Ukraine, where international travel had become difficult because of the war, and encouraged participation from many countries.As a result, this year's congress has recorded the largest attendance in its history. I believe it will become a turning point for Korea to establish itself as a major hub for global hair research.– The scientific program is also quite extensive. Which presentations should attendees pay particular attention to?This year, a number of real-world data studies on recently developed treatments for Alopecia areata are expected to be presented. In addition, clinical findings on various treatment approaches for Cicatricial alopecia, a condition that has gained greater attention in recent years, as well as results from studies of new therapies for Androgenic Alopecia, will be introduced. Objective hair assessment technologies utilizing AI and other advanced tools are also scheduled to be presented. Given the significant interest surrounding this topic, these sessions are expected to attract considerable attention.– Stem cell-based treatments for hair loss are also being actively studied.I believe stem cell therapy will become an important pillar of the future hair research and industry landscape. This is because it is attracting attention as an approach that challenges the difficult task of generating new hair follicles and brings us one step closer to overcoming hair loss. At this year's congress, a number of experimental studies aimed at creating new hair follicles will also be presented. However, as this remains a field that requires substantial further research, it is likely to take some time before these approaches can be applied in clinical practice.– We are now in the age of AI. How is AI being utilized in the field of hair disorders?AI is proving particularly helpful in the area of diagnosis. Because visual examination plays an important role in the assessment of hair disorders, it is not always easy to evaluate exactly the same hairs each time a patient returns for a follow-up visit. In fact, the topic of my presentation at this congress is AI. In the past, tattoos were used to identify the same area and monitor changes in hair status over time. However, I will be introducing a method recently developed in Korea that uses AI to assign an identification number to each individual hair, register every hair as if it were a unique individual, and track it longitudinally over time.– How are Korean experts viewed by the international hair research community?The Korean Hair Research Society has played a key role since the early years of the International Federation of Hair Research Societies, the organization that oversees WCHR 2026, as one of its member societies. In the early days, we were satisfied simply to participate in international meetings. However, after successfully hosting the World Congress for Hair Research in Jeju 12 years ago, Korea's standing in the field increased significantly. In particular, researchers around the world highly regard the uniquely Korean spirit of challenge and innovation, reflected not only in basic research but also in the development of new drugs and technologies that have achieved world-first milestones. Today, it is not uncommon to see leading international scholars presenting research findings originating from Korea.– Can we also expect more global collaborative research in the future?Of course. In particular, many leading researchers are impressed by the well-organized data available in Korea. High-quality baseline data are essential for studying treatment responses, and Korea is recognized internationally for its well-established medical data and healthcare statistics. In addition, the new technologies being developed through innovative ideas are attracting considerable attention from researchers around the world.– The global journey of The Korean Hair Research Society is expected to continue. What is the next destination?The Korean Hair Research Society holds academic exchange programs with the Japanese Society for Hair Research every year, and we are also planning to establish a similar academic exchange program with the Chinese Society for Hair Research in the future. These exchanges are particularly beneficial for young researchers. They provide opportunities to learn from one another, helping participants improve their clinical expertise while also growing as physicians. I believe that creating such opportunities is one of the key responsibilities of a society’s leadership. China, in particular, is a growing market in the field of hair loss treatment. Active exchanges with China will have a positive impact not only on Korean researchers but also on the development of related industries.

Angela M. Christiano教授以《斑秃：迈向JAK抑制剂的历程》为题，详细阐述了斑秃的免疫机制以及JAK抑制剂的作用与研究进展，同时公开了多项最新成果。全球毛发疾病与毛囊生物学领域的顶级国际学术盛会——世界毛发学会(World Congress for Hair Research, WCHR 2026)于28日在首尔COEX开幕。大会第二天（29日）迎来多场主题讲座，学术氛围浓厚。第二天主旨演讲嘉宾为 Angela Christiano （Columbia University, USA）教授，她系统回顾了从斑秃免疫机制研究到JAK抑制剂开发的科研历程。JAK抑制剂是一类针对调节细胞因子的JAK的免疫抑制剂，最初用于成年类风湿关节炎治疗。细胞因子是免疫系统的关键蛋白，JAK抑制剂通过阻断细胞因子信号通路调节免疫反应，已在包括类风湿关节炎在内的多种自身免疫疾病治疗中表现出疗效。因此，JAK抑制剂也被寄予用于治疗自身免疫相关的斑秃（Alopecia Areata）的厚望。JAK抑制剂恰好可以阻断斑秃核心通路JAK-STAT，在类风湿关节炎患者使用多年，其安全性得到证实。最终，美国FDA批准JAK抑制剂作为成人重度斑秃治疗药物，随后韩国也于次年获批使其进入临床应用。Angela M. Christiano教授通过丰富的图示，形象生动地讲解了斑秃的免疫机制及JAK抑制剂在其中的作用，赢得了现场阵阵掌声。她作为皮肤科学和临床分子遗传学权威，擅长干细胞及3D皮肤模型研究，通过系列遗传学发现及转化医学研究为斑秃理解提供新视角，为学术和临床领域带来巨大贡献。

共同主席Ohsang Kwon教授（左一）、Moon-Bum Kim教授（左二）、美国毛发研究学会主席John T. Seykora（中）、Chang-Hun Huh教授（右一）共同按响开幕铃，正式揭开大会序幕。堪称“毛发领域奥林匹克”的世界毛发学会(World Congress for Hair Research, WCHR）2026，在首尔市中心盛大揭幕。本次大会自今日（28日）起连续4天在首尔COEX举行，是毛发相关疾病及毛囊生物学领域最顶尖的国际学术会议。由国际毛发研究学会联盟（IFHRS）隔年主办，今年已是第14届。大韩毛发学会作为IFHRS创始成员，积极推动国际合作，时隔12年再次将大会带到韩国。此次共同主席有：盆唐首尔大学医院的Chang-Hun Huh教授、首尔大学医院的Ohsang Kwon教授、釜山大学医院的Moon-Bum Kim教授。国际毛发研究学会联盟成员集体摆出“比心”手势，祝愿大会圆满成功。本次大会参会人数创历届最高，来自亚洲、欧洲、北美等全球各地逾1700人参加，堪称真正的国际学术盛宴。正因如此，开幕式也空前盛大。以K-Tigers的精彩开场表演开启，追溯世界毛发学会历史、特别是大韩毛发学会长期以来的重要角色，进一步提升了韩国毛发学科的国际形象。K-Tigers以华丽表演为大会开幕赢得热烈掌声。担任大会共同主席的Chang-Hun Huh（盆唐首尔大学医院）、Ohsang Kwon（首尔大学医院）、Moon-Bum Kim（釜山大学医院）三位教授，皆热情致辞，希望大会成为知识交流与体验韩国优秀文化的绝佳机会。接着，来自美国、日本、中国、澳洲等IFHRS成员国依次介绍，多家代表性机构负责人也发表致辞预祝大会成功。Chang-Hun Huh教授讲述了大韩毛发学会为争取WCHR主办权做出的努力，特意多次在国际大会积极宣传，为本次大规模参会贡献良多。大韩毛发学会名誉顾问Won-Soo Lee教授用特别讲座回顾WCHR与学会的重要历史，让听众沉浸在时光长河中。大韩毛发学会一直与全球毛发学领域学者保持密切学术与人才交流，树立韩国毛发学的国际形象。在国内积极推动脱发正确认知，强调科学诊疗；通过“绿色头发”及“隐秘患者医疗支援”等公益项目，从普通人群到医疗盲区患者都能获得帮助。Won-Soo Lee教授以深情讲解让大家领略WCHR及大韩毛发学会的发展历程。此外，学会还通过与主流媒体、国会联合举办论坛等多方倡导，提升对重型斑秃等高难度脱发类型的关注，并从政策层面推动医疗环境改善。与会听众对WCHR的光辉历程、以及始终处于核心的大韩毛发学会表达热烈掌声，期许大会硕果累累。Ji Won Oh教授现场公布了“利用死后体细胞突变进行皮肤成纤维细胞系谱追踪”的研究成果，展示了韩国面向全球的顶尖科研实力。开幕式后，来自延世大学的Ji Won Oh教授做基于利用死后体细胞突变进行皮肤成纤维细胞系谱追踪的主旨报告，赢得全场国内外专家的高度关注与掌声，彰显了韩国深厚研究底蕴。这场盛大开幕的WCHR 2026，将持续至31日，为期四天。

Chang-Hun Huh教授表示：“成功将世界毛发学会（WCHR）引进首尔，让我真正感受到了韩国毛发学在全球的提升。我们将继续努力，让韩国成为国际毛发研究的核心。”“来自1700多位不同国籍的与会者将分享知识，深刻体验韩国文化。经过长期准备，是时候尽情享受这场盛宴了。”Chang-Hun Huh教授（大韩毛发学会副会长、盆唐首尔大学医院皮肤科）激动地表达了心声。早在2023年大韩毛发学会年会上，他就立下“WCHR一定要申办到首尔”的目标。如今梦想成真，他以世界毛发学会（WCHR）共同大会主席身份接受采访。我们在28日盛大开幕的第14届WCHR现场见面。- 您实现了三年前许下的愿望，为此做出了哪些努力？世界毛发学会主办地由国际毛发研究学会联盟（IFHRS）理事会决议，全联盟共8个成员学会。从两年前美国达拉斯年会开始，我逐一参加所有成员会议，进行演讲和积极宣传。在主办地确认后，还专门为俄罗斯、乌克兰等因战争无法入境的国家在线授课，吸引更多国家参与。正因如此，本次大会创下历届参会人数新纪录，我相信这就是韩国跃升为国际毛发研究核心的转折点。- 本次学术大会的内容丰富，请介绍一下值得关注的重点讲座。今年将发布多项新开发斑秃药物的真实世界数据，临床上也会介绍瘢痕性脱发等较新类型的病例和雄激素脱发的新药疗效。此外，将推出基于AI的客观毛发评估技术，这也是大会关注度极高的前沿话题。- 干细胞治疗脱发的相关研究进展如何？我认为干细胞治疗将成为未来毛发相关产业的中坚力量。目前攻克“新生毛囊”极具挑战性，但正因如此，该领域正成为对抗脱发的焦点。大会上还将介绍多项新生毛囊的实验研究，但距离真正用于临床尚需时日。- AI在毛发疾病领域有哪些具体应用？在诊断上帮助极大。毛发诊断非常依赖肉眼比对，但很难每次都定位到相同毛发。我的这次大会报告就是AI相关，过去用纹身定位做重复观察，现在借助韩国开发的新法与AI技术，为每根毛发编号并作为“个体档案”注册，便于精准追踪。- 世界学术界对韩国毛发学界的评价如何？大韩毛发学会自IFHRS创立之初就是会员学会并担当核心。过去只是在学术交流阶段，12年前济州岛会议后，韩国学会地位明显跃升。韩国的基础研究、首创疗法、核心技术都获国际高度评价，其敢于挑战的创新精神尤其受认可。如今常见世界权威在大会上引用韩国研究数据。- 是否有望开展更多国际合作研究？当然。尤其韩国数据管理非常系统，让众多国际学者惊叹。新药反应研究尤为依赖数据基础，韩国的医疗统计属于世界一流。新颖想法与技术的持续涌现，也得到了广泛国际认可。- 韩国毛发学界未来还有哪些国际计划？大韩毛发学会每年与日本学会举办交流活动，未来也将与中国同行开展学术合作项目，这对年轻学者尤为重要。各国交流是互为镜鉴、推动专业和人格成长的契机。学会领导层应积极搭建这样的平台。中国是脱发治疗领域的重要新兴市场，未来与中国的深入交流必将促进韩国学者成长，也将推动产业进步。

-Tripeptide-132 Identified from 8,000 Candidates Reduces Hair Breakage by 50% and Improves Cuticle Smoothness — Published in International Journal of Cosmetic Science<Amorepacific has developed Tripeptide-132, a keratin-targeting peptide identified through AI and molecular modeling from 8,000 candidates, achieving up to 44% tensile strength improvement and 50% reduction in hair breakage. Published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science.> Amorepacific has developed a novel peptide that selectively targets and reinforces keratin within hair, using AI and molecular modeling technology.Amorepacific has announced the development of a novel peptide that selectively targets and reinforces keratin within hair strands, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and molecular modeling technology.Hair is continuously exposed to a range of external stressors — UV radiation, heat, and chemical treatments — all of which cause cumulative damage. This damage weakens the keratin protein structure within the hair, leading to breakage and loss of elasticity.■From 8,000 Candidates to One Breakthrough : Tripeptide-132To address this challenge, Amorepacific's R&I Center employed molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation to precisely analyze peptide candidates capable of selectively binding to hair keratin.After screening approximately 8,000 ingredients, the research team identified Tripeptide-132 as the optimal peptide with superior binding affinity to hair keratin. Experimental results confirmed that hair treated with this peptide achieved up to a 44% improvement in tensile strength, and demonstrated approximately a 50% reduction in hair breakage under conditions of repeated physical stress. Analysis of the cuticle structure also confirmed improvements in the surface alignment and smoothness of the hair.■The Science of Soft, Shiny Hair — Rigorously ExplainedThe research team noted: "These results suggest that Tripeptide-132 can fundamentally reinforce the weakened internal structure of damaged hair — helping it stay resilient and less prone to breakage even during everyday drying and styling.At the same time, the improvement in cuticle alignment raises expectations for enhanced sensory experiences such as softness to the touch and visible shine."This research is also considered significant for having precisely mapped the hair improvement mechanism along the chain of molecular design → keratin binding → structural reinforcement → sensory improvement — providing a rigorous scientific explanation for what it means for hair to feel "soft" and "shiny."Hair treated with Tripeptide-132 showed a tensile strength improvement of up to 44%, along with enhanced surface smoothness and cuticle alignment.■AI-Powered Precision Biotech — Extending K-Beauty to Hair ScienceAmorepacific's R&I Center has accumulated deep precision biotechnology capabilities across research areas including skin barrier, microbiome, and aging science. Building on this scientific foundation, the center has been systematically advancing its capacity to understand the structure and function of skin, scalp, and hair at the molecular level — and is now applying precision target-based research beyond skincare to the scalp and hair domain.Seo Byung-hwi, CTO and Head of Amorepacific's R&I Center, stated: "This research is an innovative example of precisely targeting hair proteins through AI and molecular design technology. Going forward, Amorepacific will continue to strengthen its hair beauty competitiveness, guided by our AI First strategy and a Holistic Longevity perspective."■Published in a Peer-Reviewed International Journal — Already Applied in COSRX ProductsThe research findings have been published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science, and Tripeptide-132 has already been incorporated into the COSRX Peptide-132 Shampoo, Treatment, and Hair Bonding Oil — now available as a damaged hair care solution.

-KDCA Introduces Big Data-Based Prediction Tool via Health Hazard Integrated Information System, Open to All Members of the PublicThe heat-related illness occurrence prediction information screen as displayed within the Health Hazard Integrated Information System.As the first serious heat of the season sets in, the Korean government has made it easier than ever for the public to stay ahead of the dangers of extreme heat — with a new online tool that predicts heat-related illness risk levels across the country.South Korea's KDCA has launched a nationwide heat-related illness risk forecast system, allowing the public to check four-level risk predictions for their region up to three days in advance via the Health Hazard Integrated Information System.Korea's Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) has announced that it is now providing 'Heat-Related Illness Occurrence Prediction Information' through the Health Hazard Integrated Information System (https://health.kdca.go.kr/healthhazard/clmtInfo/predict), as part of efforts to prevent health damage caused by heat waves driven by climate change.Navigation path: Health Hazard Integrated Information System > Climate Health Information > Heat & Cold Illness Surveillance > Heat-Related Illness Occurrence Prediction■Record-Breaking Heat and Rising Patient Numbers Drive Urgent Need for Early WarningLast June, South Korea recorded an average temperature of 22.9°C — 1.5°C above the historical norm and the highest level since records began in 1973. The number of heat-related illness cases reported the same year reached 4,460, a 20.4% increase compared to the previous year. Against this backdrop, the need for prediction-based early warning information — enabling response before heat-related illness occurs, rather than after — has become more pressing than ever.■Four-Level Risk Forecast for All 17 Regions, Available to EveryoneThe Health Hazard Integrated Information System is freely accessible to any member of the public and is designed to be a practical tool for heat wave preparedness. Powered by a big data algorithm that factors in heat-related illness trends and meteorological variables, the system provides heat-related illness occurrence risk forecasts across the nation and all 17 metropolitan cities and provinces, classified into four risk levels, covering today through three days ahead.The KDCA emphasized that heat-related illness can occur even at lower risk levels such as Level 1, depending on an individual's health condition and activity environment, and urged the public to thoroughly familiarize themselves with heat illness prevention guidelines and actively practice them in daily life.KDCA Commissioner Lim Seung-kwan stated: "Developing and providing heat-related illness occurrence prediction information is a proactive prevention policy aimed at reducing health damage from heat waves before it happens. Going forward, we will strengthen a health protection system that the public can truly feel the benefit of, through inter-agency cooperation with the Korea Meteorological Administration and others."■Heat-Related Illness Prevention Guidelines① Drink water frequentlyDrink water regularly even when not thirsty※ Patients with kidney disease should consult a doctor before adjusting fluid intake② Stay coolShower frequentlyWear loose-fitting, light-colored, lightweight clothingBlock sunlight when going outdoors (umbrella, hat, etc.)③ Limit activity during the hottest parts of the dayAvoid outdoor work and exercise during peak heat hours; stay in cool spaces※ If temperatures rise suddenly, monitor your own health and adjust activity intensity accordingly④ Regularly check temperatures and heat-related illness prediction informationStay updated on temperatures, heat wave alerts, and other weather conditions

-Each Option Has Its Own Advantages — Choose Based on Your Dental Condition and Lifestyle. Dr. Han Gyeong-jae, orthodontic specialist at 365 Seoul One Top Dental Clinic, advises that patients should select the most suitable orthodontic appliance based on their dental condition and lifestyle, and that those with poor periodontal health should complete periodontal treatment before beginning orthodontic care.<Dr. Han Gyeong-jae, orthodontic specialist>In the past, orthodontic treatment was widely considered best done during adolescence — but that thinking has changed. With rapid advances in dental technology, a wide variety of discreet and easy-to-wear orthodontic appliances are now available, giving adults who lead active social and professional lives far more options than ever before.Interest in clear aligners has grown particularly among office workers in their 30s and 40s and soon-to-be newlyweds, who seek a treatment option that causes minimal disruption to their daily routines.■Clear Aligners vs. Traditional Braces — What's the Difference?Clear aligners work by using a series of custom-made transparent trays, replaced at regular intervals, to gradually shift teeth into the desired position. The appliance is virtually invisible and removable, making eating and brushing teeth considerably more convenient.Traditional braces, by contrast, involve brackets attached directly to the teeth, enabling more precise tooth movement — making them the preferred choice for complex cases of malocclusion or situations requiring tooth extraction.Dr. Han Gyeong-jae, orthodontic specialist at 365 Seoul One Top Dental Clinic, explained: "Clear aligners and traditional braces each have their distinct advantages and disadvantages, and the most suitable method varies depending on the patient's dental condition and lifestyle." He added, "A wider range of aesthetic brackets that are far less noticeable have also entered the market in recent years, giving adult patients even more options to consider."■Oral Hygiene During Treatment Is Critical for AdultsThorough oral hygiene management throughout the treatment period is especially important for adult patients.Food particles can easily become trapped around orthodontic appliances, raising the risk of cavities and gum inflammation.Brushing immediately after meals — and incorporating interdental brushes or oral irrigators into your daily routine — is strongly recommended.Clear aligner wearers should also exercise caution: frequently consuming sugary drinks while wearing the trays can significantly increase the risk of tooth decay.Adults also tend to have a slower periodontal tissue response than younger patients, and pre-existing dental restorations or gum disease are common. For this reason, it is strongly advisable to assess periodontal health thoroughly before starting orthodontic treatment, and to complete any necessary periodontal care first.Dr. Han emphasized: "Adult orthodontic treatment goes beyond simply straightening teeth — bite function and periodontal health must be considered together." He advised that "an orthodontic specialist should comprehensively assess each patient's oral condition using precise diagnostic tools such as 3D CT scans, and develop a fully individualized treatment plan."■After Treatment: Retainers Are EssentialAfter orthodontic treatment is complete, teeth have a natural tendency to drift back toward their original positions — making retainer use an essential part of the process. It is generally recommended to wear retainers consistently for at least one to two years following treatment completion, and to continue scheduling regular check-upsto monitor bite alignment thereafter.Frequently Asked QuestionsQ. Are clear aligners suitable for all adults? A. Clear aligners are well-suited for mild to moderate cases of misalignment. However, complex malocclusion or cases requiring extractions may be better addressed with traditional braces. An orthodontic specialist can assess your specific condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment.Q. How long does adult orthodontic treatment typically take? A. Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of the case, but adult orthodontic treatment generally ranges from 12 to 24 months. A detailed timeline will be established after a comprehensive diagnostic examination.Q. Do I really need to wear retainers after treatment? A. Yes. Without consistent retainer use, teeth may gradually shift back toward their original positions. Most specialists recommend wearing retainers for at least one to two years post-treatment, followed by ongoing periodic check-ups.
