CEO of Rexpharm.Corp
Dr. Young-Soon Park, Ph.D. in Pharmacy,
Dr. Young-Soon Park, the CEO of Rexpharm.Corp is a pioneer who established the Onnuri Pharmacy chain in 1990, which was the first in Korea to transform traditional pharmacies, previously focused only on pharmaceuticals, into a total healthcare pharmacy. These pharmacies began offering not only pharmaceuticals but also herbal medicines, health supplements, cosmetics, and everyday goods.
In 1997, Dr. Park founded Rexgene Biotech, a health supplement company, which became the first of its kind to be listed on KOSDAQ.
In 2001, as the door to gene-based disease treatments began to open in the United States, Dr. Park established Rexahn Pharmaceuticals in Rockville, Maryland, with the aim of developing side-effect-free cancer treatments.
In 2005, Dr. Park established Kyungdeok, an agricultural corporation, in Jeju to cultivate organic green tea, with the goal of obtaining catechins, which have the best antioxidant effects.
Moreover, during the global pandemics of SARS (2002), MERS (2015), and COVID-19 (2019), Dr. Park foresaw that viral diseases would threaten human health due to global warming. In response, he established a company in 2021 dedicated to producing beta-glucan to enhance immunity against these viruses.
Now, with the advent of a super-aged society, Dr. Park aims to contribute to the
improvement of human health by producing health products that help prevent diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases, which commonly arise with aging.
Thank you.

Rexpharm and Timely Basket Sign MOU for Entry into U.S. Market
We will do our utmost to promptly address any inquiries you may have
Rexpharm (CEO Jeong Sang-yun) and Timely Basket (CEO Leighann Choi) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to establish a collaborative framework for joint development and sourcing of health functional foods, marking Rexpharm's official entry into the U.S. market.
Timely Basket, based in the U.S., specializes in logistics distribution and offline retail (supermarkets) for various Korean products, including Ottogi food items, Namyang coffee, and Moa kimchi, as well as beauty products. The company has been operating for 15 years and is a subsidiary of Ottogi New York and Moa Trading, with a focus on online distribution logistics.
For reference, Rexpharm, founded in 2021 by Park Young-sun, the founder of Onnuri Pharmacy Chain, is a specialized manufacturer in reishi mushroom cultivation technology and health functional foods, dedicated to enhancing global immunity.
The MOU outlines the following initiatives:
Rexpharm's GMP-certified factory in the Iksan Food Cluster, already registered with the U.S. FDA, has been collaborating with Timely Basket since September 2023.
Rexpharm’s facilities include three 4-ton extraction concentrators and a 15-ton fermentation tank, enabling the mass production of beta-glucan and other beneficial components from reishi mushrooms. The company also develops health supplements such as protein & collagen, pure point glutathione, filling point beta-glucan, and iron point supplements, which are currently supplied through pharmacy channels in Korea.
This agreement is expected to lay the foundation for Rexpharm’s entry into the U.S. market through Timely Basket's online distribution and marketing expertise, paving the way for future global expansion.
CEO Jeong Sang-yun of Rexpharm commented, “We are excited about the potential for our reishi mushroom-based products to enter the U.S. market through Timely Basket. This collaboration represents a significant step towards expanding not only in the U.S. but also globally.”
Leighann Choi, CEO of Timely Basket, added, “We are thrilled to collaborate with Rexpharm and introduce their reishi mushroom-based products and health supplements to the U.S. market. The growing influence of K-Culture makes this an opportune moment to showcase a diverse range of Korean health products in the U.S.”
