The bonuses were paid up to 150% of the base salary based on individual evaluations.

Additional rewards were also given through the 'Bodyfriend Awards,' which select outstanding employees who contributed to the company's development and growth. A total of 70 winners were selected across seven categories, including the Best Bodyfriend Talent Award, BF Innovation Award, BF Development Award, and the Failure Award for Great Success. The criteria for selection mainly considered performance and achievements as well as the process of overcoming challenges and adversity. Employees who actively challenged themselves despite the possibility of failure, experienced trial and error, and ultimately achieved results were awarded bonuses of up to 30 million KRW.

The highest honor, the 'Best Bodyfriend Talent Award,' went to Gong Deok-hyun, head of the Medical Technology Research Institute (specialist in Korean Rehabilitation Medicine). Although Dr. Gong experienced failures in products he led the development of, he persevered and became the key figure in developing the traction medical device Phantom Medical for cervical disc treatment, which became a flagship model. Dr. Gong said, "Many new products are scheduled to be released from the Medical R&D Center in the new year, and I will mobilize all capabilities to create the best products."

Bodyfriend CEO Park Sang-hyun said, "Despite the difficult environment caused by the unexpected COVID-19 pandemic, the company was able to grow thanks to the executives and employees who fulfilled their basic duties, achieved results, and made efforts to adapt to change. We prepared management performance bonuses for executives and employees to share the small fruits of growth and encourage their efforts so far."
