Following the trend of applying mini\u2010publics in diverse policy decisions, the Korean National Health Insurance System experimentally held 16 public deliberation workshops since 2012. This study discusses the 5th and 10th workshops among the 16 conducted, using them as a case example to evaluate the utility and informativeness of mini\u2010publics in health policy making. After briefly explaining the method and results of the two workshops, this study reviews the main arguments that call for the use of public deliberation in societal decisions. Based on these arguments, the study concludes that the results of the two workshops are insufficient to serve as useful information for relevant health policy making and the reasons therefor. The study posits that similar to the two workshops, mini\u2010publics sometimes fail to provide informative results for technically oriented questions, result in serious disagreements and fall short of achieving some deliberative ideals, such as equal participation, reasonableness, and fairness. Given that running a public deliberation process is generally cost\u2010consuming, despite its potential benefits, the current widespread applications of mini\u2010publics should be carefully examined.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/bioe.70190","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,14]],"date-time":"2026-09-14T15:42:00Z","timestamp":1789400520000},"page":"1039-1049","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Critical Assessment of the Two Previous Public Deliberation Workshops in South Korea"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"40","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6784-8861","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kyungdo","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Humanities and Social Medicine, University of Ulsan College of Medicine Seoul South\u00a0Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0032329206288152"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/1523908X.2015.1053107"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0963662512472160"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2012.06.026"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/15265160903197531"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/emermed-2015-205663"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1468-246X.00150"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","unstructured":"The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development OECD Reviews of Health Care Quality: Korea 2012(OCED 2012)."},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0051004"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","unstructured":"Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare \u201cNational Health Insurance Financing and Coverage Rates \u201d Website National Health Insurance Financing and Coverage Rates https:\/\/www.index.go.kr\/potal\/main\/EachDtlPageDetail.do?idx_cd=2763."},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","volume-title":"Making Fair Choices on the Path to Universal Health Coverage: Final Report of the Who Consultative Group on Equity and Universal Health Coverage","author":"World Health Organization","year":"2014"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1088-4963.1997.tb00082.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/23288604.2024.2338308"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph18084135"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2015.03.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1057\/palgrave.ap.5500121"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_18_1","volume-title":"When the People Speak: Deliberative Democracy and Public Consultation","author":"Fishkin J.
