An Massage Chair That Even Adjusts to 'Jjakjjak-i Legs' Body Type Is Coming Out

Bodyfriend Obtains Patent for Independently Operating Dual Leg Massage Unit Device

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Bodyfriend (CEO Park Sang-hyun) announced on the 29th that it has registered a patent for massage device technology that includes independently operating leg massage units.

The feature of this patent is that the left leg massage unit and the right leg massage unit operate independently. In particular, the lengths of the left and right legs are adjustable respectively, providing comfortable customized massages even for users who feel discomfort with existing massage chairs due to differing leg lengths. It also meets situations where users want to receive different massages on the left and right legs according to their needs.

This patented technology is being rapidly developed for application in upcoming Bodyfriend massage chairs. Regarding this patent registration, Bodyfriend stated, "We operate three integrated research organizations including the Medical R&D Center, technology, and design, and have invested about 61.4 billion KRW in massage chair R&D over the past five years, demonstrating Bodyfriend's capabilities in developing new technologies. We will continue to lead competition in the global market through efforts to introduce a new paradigm of massage chairs never seen before."

Meanwhile, Bodyfriend has increased its R&D investment by about 30% annually and, as of this year, has filed 2,413 intellectual property rights including patents, utility models, and designs, of which 1,354 have been registered.
