Life Summary
Yoon Dai-in is the Chairman and CEO of Samchundang Pharm. He also holds the positions of Chairman and CEO of Sohoa Group and Chairman of Gangdong Sacred Heart Hospital.

Born on March 23, 1950, he is the second son of the late Yoon Deok-seon, honorary chairman and founder of Ilsong Academy. Ilsong Academy founded Hallym University Medical Center and Hallym University, which operates several hospitals, including Seoul Gangnam Sacred Heart Hospital, Gangdong Sacred Heart Hospital, and Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital.

Yoon graduated from Kyunggi High School in Seoul and earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Seoul National University. He later obtained an MBA from Long Island University in the United States.

He inherited the Sacred Heart Medical Foundation and Gangdong Sacred Heart Hospital from his father, Yoon Deok-seon. In 1986, Yoon acquired Samchundang Pharm and rapidly grew the company by supplying its pharmaceutical products to the hospitals under his management.

Although Samchundang Pharm had seen limited success for several decades after its founding, it began to grow significantly after Yoon took over. The company has continued to show steady growth, evolving into a mid-sized pharmaceutical company with annual sales exceeding KRW 200 billion (US$ 144.3 million).

Samchundang Pharm was founded in December 1943 under the name "Chosun Samchundang." It changed its name to the current "Samchundang Pharm" in February 1986, and was listed on the KOSPI in October 2000.

Samchundang Pharm specializes in ophthalmic drugs, with more than half of its revenue coming from this category. Its leading products include "Hameron" and "Tearin Free," treatments for dry eyes and keratitis.

Yoon Dai-in, a devout Catholic, is recognized for running the company with a Catholic-based philosophy, contributing to public health through ethical management practices.
