Professor Park Jae Woo (1942–2010) synthesized Eastern philosophy (Yin-Yang, Five Elements) with a novel "Triorigin" system to create Onnuri Medicine, of which Sujok is the cornerstone. The therapy’s appeal lies in its diagnostic simplicity—a patient’s pathology can be located by palpating a corresponding point on the hand—and its therapeutic versatility, using seeds, magnets, lasers, or needles.
