What Will Happen To The MBC Bullies? One Loses Job Over Massive Scandal

Content Warning
Ever since the grieving family members of the late MBC weathercaster Oh Yoanna revealed her cause of death as a suicide following years of workplace bullying, the outraged Korean public has demanded that MBC and named bullies take responsibility for their actions.

In fact, after JTBC‘s Crime Chief and other investigative YouTubers name-dropped four of the broadcast channel’s currently active weathercasters as the bullies mentioned in Oh Yoanna’s will, MBC was quick to disable comments under the YouTube videos featuring the bullies.
That said, one of the four named bullies—weathercaster Kim Ga Young—has now stepped down from her radio host position, being one of the first to face consequences from the fierce backlash of the massive scandal.

On February 4, 2025 (KST), Korean news outlets reported that Kim informed MBC’s radio show, Good Morning FM with Tei, that she requested to be removed from the program. Kim has been hosting a short news segment as a part of the show since September 2019. Tei shared with the listeners that “Kim, who had been in charge of Kkaeal News, informed us after the program on the 3rd that she would be stepping down from the program.”
After discussions with the production team, we decided to respect her request.

Following the news, there has been a surge of demands for Kim to step down from other programs she appears in, including MBC News and the SBS entertainment show, Shooting Stars. In response, SBS stated, “No decision has been made regarding her departure. We are awaiting the results of the investigation.”

The remaining three bullies have no regular programs outside their weathercasting schedule—though MBC news viewers are adamant to have them all step down. MBC continues to upload weather forecast videos on their @OneulBiwa YouTube channel, with comments turned off.
All four bullies have disabled their Instagram comments as well, keeping silent through the scandal.
