More than 9,600 industrial injury cases involving insurance-covered workers and delivery contractors associated with Baemin logistics operator Woowa Youths were recorded from 2021 through August 2026, according to data cited by Maeil Shinmun. Only about 3 percent were formally reported to the Labour Ministry, raising questions about gaps between insurance records and employer reporting obligations.
Critics argue that the legal distinction between employees and some delivery contractors can leave incidents outside conventional reporting requirements. The numbers establish a reporting disparity but do not by themselves prove every unreported case violated the law.
