YK Law Firm, led by Managing Partner Kang Kyung-hoon, announced on September 18 that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with digital healthcare company EverX. The two organizations plan to combine digital healthcare technology aimed at preventing musculoskeletal disorders with legal expertise in workplace safety and labor law to support the health management and safety systems of corporate employees.
The signing ceremony took place on September 15 at YK's Gangnam office in Seoul, attended by Kang Kyung-hoon, YK's Managing Partner; Choi Chang-deok, Senior Advisor; Jo In-sun, Head of the Labor Major Accident Group; Kim Ji-hoon, Senior Attorney; and Yoo Sang-jin, Attorney. From EverX, attendees included CEO Yoon Chan, CFO Seo Hae-sang, Director Lee Yong-il, and Sales and Marketing Team Leader Yoo Ip-sae.
EverX, a digital healthcare company specializing in musculoskeletal health, was founded by orthopedic surgeon Yoon Chan, a graduate of Seoul National University College of Medicine. The company supports corporate employee health management and disease prevention through its AI-based musculoskeletal health management solution, MORA Care, which won an innovation award at CES 2026. MORA Care has been adopted by major corporations, including Samsung and LG, as well as various manufacturing, pharmaceutical, medical, and public institutions.
The core of this partnership is to integrate MORA Care with corporate occupational safety and health management. The two organizations plan to conduct legal reviews and provide advice to utilize health management data and reports generated by MORA Care in corporate safety and health activities. This includes addressing regulations related to the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the Serious Accident Punishment Act, as well as the legal implications and precautions regarding the reports, and providing training and webinars for companies.
They also aim to connect musculoskeletal health management and legal support for workplace safety across various job sectors, including manufacturing, office, and research positions. This initiative is designed to support the establishment of safety and health management systems from the prevention stage of musculoskeletal disorders.
YK plans to leverage its expertise accumulated in the fields of industrial accidents and occupational diseases for this collaboration. Jo In-sun has served as a member of the Occupational Disease Assessment Committee at the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service from 2016 to 2025. Attorney Song Young-joo has worked at the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service for three years and is currently a member of the Occupational Disease Assessment Committee in 2026. Based on this expertise, YK aims to support EverX in addressing the legal needs of companies related to occupational safety, health, and occupational diseases.
The two organizations also plan to expand their collaboration to include legal needs related to overseas business and investments, particularly addressing legal issues such as contracts and regulations that may arise during EverX's U.S. business and investment processes.
Kang Kyung-hoon, Managing Partner of YK, stated, "Preventing and managing musculoskeletal disorders is a critical task not only for worker health but also for effectively operating safety and health systems. By combining EverX's digital healthcare technology with YK's expertise in workplace safety and labor law, we will support companies in systematically addressing these issues from the prevention stage and will also respond to legal needs arising during future overseas business activities."
