Diagram: Right angles on the incircle chord

Right angles on the incircle chord

Problem

In triangle $ABC$ with incenter $I$, the incircle touches $BC$, $CA$, $AB$ at $D$, $E$, $F$. Let $M$ and $N$ be the midpoints of $BC$ and $AC$, and let the ray $BI$ meet the line $EF$ at $K$. Prove that $BK \perp CK$, and that $K$ lies on the line $MN$.
