MBC Weathercaster’s Suicide Death Reveals Workplace Bullying Swept Under The Rug
However, as the people identified as the perpetrators still appear on air, MBC’s dilemma regarding follow-up measures is growing.
On May 20, according to the media outlet Sports Today, an MBC official made a response.
“Although we fully sympathize with the bereaved family, we cannot force a specific weathercaster to step down because they are a ‘perpetrator’. Even inducing voluntary resignation is a cautious matter for the company. We need to discuss what to do in more depth.
We have not received the official results from the Ministry of Employment and Labor. The press release was released quickly because the article came out first. We will thoroughly review the contents when the official document is received and consider an appropriate follow-up measure.”

Previously, the Ministry of Employment and Labor’s results were reported through News Desk, and it stated that it was not taking the workplace bullying that occurred lightly.
With these results, attention is focused on how MBC will demonstrate change and responsibility on the matter.
