EHL BIO to Host Exclusive VIP ‘Dinner with a Story’ at The Shilla Seoul on November 3

EHL BIO will host its annual VIP event, ‘Dinner with a Story,’ on November 3, 2026, at the Emerald Hall in Yeong Bin Gwan at The Shilla Seoul. This year’s ‘Dinner with a Story’ is designed not only as an occasion to enjoy a meal and performance, but also as an opportunity to reflect on how we build relationships and navigate the later stages of life. A lecture by Professor Lee Ho-sun and a stage performance by magician Nicky will guide the flow of the evening.

‘Dinner with a Story’ is an annual event hosted by EHL BIO, featuring a different theme and program each year. This year’s central theme is ‘Relationships and Dignity.’ The event focuses on exploring, through the language of the humanities and performance, questions that long-standing clients may encounter in everyday life: aging, changing relationships with family and acquaintances, and an evolving technological environment.

An Annual Dinner at The Shilla Seoul on November 3

The event will take place on November 3, 2026, at the Emerald Hall of the Yeong Bin Gwan at The Shilla Seoul. The event is intended for EHL BIO’s VIP clients and is presented under the concept of ‘Dinner with a Story.’ Rather than simply following a fixed program, the evening will connect dinner, a lecture, and a performance, allowing attendees to share experiences and reflect on the past year.

For people in their 30s to 50s who value premium healthcare, health cannot be understood solely through test results or exercise habits. Time spent with loved ones, one’s attitude toward adapting to new environments, and everyday practices of self-care are all closely connected to a sense of living well. This perspective also underlies this year’s focus on relationships and dignity.

The Emerald Hall in Yeong Bin Gwan, where the event will be held, will host both the dinner and stage programs. Guests will share a meal, listen to the lecture, and enjoy the atmosphere of the evening through the performance that follows. The program has been designed to balance the formality of an official gathering with the comfort of a relaxing evening.

How Professor Lee Ho-sun Will Explore the Art of Relationships

The lecture will be presented by Professor Lee Ho-sun, Distinguished Professor at Soongsil Cyber University. Her lecture is titled, 〈The Joy of Life and the Dignity of Relationships: The Art of Grace and Poise for Active Seniors〉. The term ‘active seniors’ refers to middle-aged and older adults who continue to participate actively in social activities, learning, hobbies, and health management after retirement.

Professor Lee Ho-sun is an expert in counseling who previously served as Director of the Korea Senior Counseling Center. Through books including 『The Art of Being Fifty』 and 『Lee Ho-sun on Relationships as We Age』, she has explored relationships, emotions, and attitudes toward life in midlife and later adulthood. She has also engaged with the public through television programs including tvN STORY’s 〈Lee Ho-sun Counseling Center〉.

The lecture will explore how to cultivate healthier and more fulfilling relationships, how to adapt wisely to rapidly evolving technologies in everyday life, and how to bring greater balance and order to life as one ages. The dignity of relationships does not refer merely to the formalities of etiquette. Rather, it reflects the ability to adjust boundaries and time while respecting both oneself and others.

For many people, changes after midlife rarely occur as a single event. Children gaining independence, caring for parents, career transitions, and changes in physical condition and daily rhythms may overlap, reshaping the contours of human relationships. The lecture will offer an opportunity to consider how to sustain relationships without losing the joy of life amid these changes.

The Moments Magician Nicky’s Performance Will Bring to the Evening

Following the lecture, magician Nicky will present a special performance. Nicky has won the Busan International Magic Festival (BIMF) and the Baden International Magic Competition in Switzerland, and has developed a diverse repertoire that includes stage manipulation performances. He also continues to engage with audiences through digital platforms.

Magic is brought to life through precise sleight of hand, the tension created on stage, and the audience’s attentive gaze. At a dinner gathering, the moments unfolding before guests can become a natural starting point for conversation. While the lecture offers a calm examination of life’s questions, the performance will extend the evening’s impact through a more sensory experience.

The performance has been included in the program to create an experience that remains in each guest’s memory, rather than simply delivering a one-way message. Sharing a meal at the same table, watching the same stage, and exchanging impressions afterward can help the experience remain more deeply in memory.

Why a Cell Research Company Shares Stories About Life with Its Clients

EHL BIO is a research and development-focused biotechnology company established in 2012, specializing in autologous stem cells and immune cells. Autologous stem cell and immune cell approaches use cells derived from the individual receiving them. Their potential applications should be evaluated according to the research objective, clinical stage, and applicable regulations.

The company conducts research and development related to cell line development, process development, quality control, and clinical research, and operates manufacturing facilities with internal quality-control procedures in accordance with GMP standards. GMP refers to standards designed to ensure consistent quality in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and related products. EHL BIO states that it has obtained Ministry of Food and Drug Safety licenses for the management of human cells and related materials, as well as for cell-processing facilities, as well as ISO 9001 quality management system certification.

In 2024, the company received a Minister of Health and Welfare Commendation for its contributions to advancing regenerative medicine and was selected to participate in a project under the Pan-governmental Regenerative Medicine Technology Development Program, through which it continues to conduct research. Advanced regenerative medicine is a field that explores ways to restore damaged human structures or functions using human cells and related materials. Research and clinical studies do not indicate that a treatment has been approved or guarantee individual outcomes; relevant medical information should therefore be confirmed through consultation with healthcare professionals and official approval information.

For a company advancing cell and immune research, engaging clients in conversations about relationships and the joy of life is also part of its broader perspective on health. A healthy life is not defined by physical condition alone. Self-understanding, relationships with others, and meaningful shared moments can also influence one’s satisfaction with life.

What Remains After a Shared Dinner Is Each Guest’s Story

A meaningful evening can continue through conversation long after the meal has ended. This year’s ‘Dinner with a Story’ does not interpret aging solely through the language of anxiety or loss. Instead, it views aging as a time to revisit relationships and shape one’s own rhythm of life. Professor Lee Ho-sun’s lecture and Nicky’s performance will approach these themes in different ways.

Not all relationships are sustained in the same way. Some grow closer, some require an appropriate distance, and new technologies and living environments can transform the ways we communicate. The value of this dinner lies not in presenting a single correct answer, but in encouraging each guest to reflect once again on the relationships and meaningful moments they wish to preserve in their own lives.
