The Korea Herald, South Korea's largest English-language newspaper, and law firm YK signed an MOU Friday morning at Herald Square to jointly launch "Policy Inside," a breakfast briefing program for corporate CEOs.

Under the agreement, the two organizations plan to launch a program designed to help industry-leading companies stay ahead of key government policy shifts and major regulatory changes, and develop strategies to respond to them effectively.

The private policy breakfast briefing program "Policy Inside" aims to deliver timely policy and legal information that businesses genuinely need amid rapidly shifting global conditions and an evolving regulatory landscape at home and abroad, while connecting the policy, legal and business communities.

The signing ceremony was attended by Kang Kyung-hoon, managing partner, Kim Taek-hyung, partner, and Lee Sang-yeop, chief policy officer, from law firm YK, along with Choi Jin-young, CEO of Herald Media Group, Kim Hyung-gon, general manager of the Korea Herald, Jung Hee-je, executive director, and Lee Ju-hee, editor-in-chief, among other officials.
