Seungwon Myung

My name is Seungwon Myung, a chemical regulatory affairs specialist with over four years of experience in MSDS/SDS authoring, K-REACH compliance, and global regulatory consulting. After completing my Master's degree in Medical Science at Soonchunhyang University, I built hands-on expertise across major Korean corporations including Samsung Electronics and Lotte Chemical, authoring over 1,500 MSDS documents and managing end-to-end compliance projects. My experience spans domestic regulations under K-OSHA and K-REACH, as well as international frameworks including EU REACH, RoHS, and PFAS, and I have handled multilingual SDS work in Korean, English, and Chinese.

Currently at REACH24H Korea, I focus on global regulatory analysis and client-facing compliance consulting, and I am eager to bring this breadth of experience to a new challenge.
