On the 30th, Rep. Ahn Cheol Soo wrote on his personal SNS account that `MBC should be responsible for the alleged workplace harassment case," he posted.
Then came the sad news on the holiday. The news that the late MBC weatherman Oyoanna, who passed away in September last year, suffered from bullying at work for a long time and that the bereaved family will file a civil suit against the perpetrator's co-worker is hurtful." We pray for the repose of the deceased, who died at a young age, and express our deepest condolences to the bereaved families."
Rep. Ahn said, `There is still widespread workplace bullying in our society. It is so serious that there is a survey that 7 out of 10 non-regular workers of broadcasters have been bullied. Not only broadcasters, but also experiences and grievances of workplace harassment can be easily found around them, especially in the case of socially disadvantaged and non-regular workers, the damage is even greater.'"Workplace harassment is a social evil that turns the workplace into hell, which is the home of life, so it must be expelled."," he added.
Rep. Ahn also said, `The attitude of MBC, which used to be the deceased's workplace, is disappointing,' adding, `It is hard to understand that even four months have passed since the deceased's death, there has been no investigation or action. It is also irresponsible to claim that the deceased could not take action because he had never reported it to the company authorities. It is practically not easy for freelance workers, who are weak, to report to the company, but it is not easy to put the blame on the victim.
He also stressed that `MBC's criticism of this incident is a secondary offense that blasphemes the deceased and hurts the bereaved families,' adding that `If MBC, which has criticized bullying in the workplace countless times through the news, avoids responsibility with its own camp logic, it would be a typical case.'
Rep. Ahn once again urged MBC to show a responsible attitude toward the alleged workplace harassment case.

The Maeil Shinmun reported on the 27th that a suicide note complaining of workplace harassment was found on Oyoanna's mobile phone, and in particular, claimed to have been damaged by two specific weathermen.
According to reports, the bereaved are actually OAnna said she killed herself, adding that a 17-page suicide note was found on her mobile phone. First, a fellow weatherman who joined the company gave false information and then turned it on to the deceased, and another weatherman called him to work after work hours or prevented him from leaving work for more than an hour to an hour and a half because he had to teach the deceased even though he was a freelancer like the deceased.
When the deceased was asked to cast tvN 'Uquiz on the Block' in 2022, he criticized 'What can I say?' In addition, a large number of messages and voices were found in which fellow weathermen criticized the deceased. Oyoanna reportedly informed MBC officials of the damage before her death, but MBC reportedly did not take any action.
When allegations of workplace harassment emerged, MBC said "I do not have the will of the deceased at present" and "If the bereaved families ask for confirmation of the facts based on their new will, MBC is ready to launch a fact-finding investigation in the shortest time possible."
The following is the full text of the Ahn Cheol Soo
Sad news broke out during the holiday.
The news is that the late MBC weatherman Oyoanna, who passed away in September last year, has long suffered from bullying at work, and that the bereaved family will file a civil lawsuit against her co-worker, who is the perpetrator.
It hurts to think of the feeling of the bereaved family leaving their families and celebrating the Lunar New Year.
I pray for the repose of the deceased who died at a young age, and express my deepest sympathy to the bereaved family.
Workplace bullying is still prevalent in our society.
It is so serious that there is an investigation that 7 out of 10 non-regular workers of broadcasters have been bullied.
Not only broadcasters, but also experiences and grievances about workplace harassment can be easily found around them, especially for socially disadvantaged and non-regular workers.
Workplace bullying is a social evil that turns the workplace into hell, which is the home of life, so it must be expelled.
However, MBC's attitude, which was the deceased's workplace, is disappointing.
It is also difficult to understand that even four months have passed since the death of the deceased, there has been no investigation or action.
It is also irresponsible to claim that the deceased could not take action because he had never reported it to the company authorities.
In reality, it is not easy for freelance workers, who are weak, to report to the company, but they are putting the blame on the victim.
In particular, misleading the criticism of the incident like press suppression, calling it to shake MBC, is a secondary offense that blasphemes the deceased and hurts the bereaved family.
If MBC, which has criticized bullying in the workplace countless times through the news, avoids responsibility for itself with camp logic, it would be a typical 'Inward South Bull'.
MBC should show a responsible attitude toward the alleged workplace harassment.
