People's Power lawmaker: ”MBC should take responsibility for workplace harassment of late Oh Yo-han” (South Korea)

In South Korea, the late Oh Yo-anna, a former MBC weather anchor who died in September last year, was accused of workplace harassment, and Ahn Cheol-soo, a lawmaker from the People's Power Party, has filed suit against her.
On the 30th, Rep. Ahn posted a comment on her Facebook page saying, "MBC must take responsibility for workplace harassment allegations."
"The late Oh Yo-han suffered from workplace harassment for a long time, and her family is filing a civil lawsuit against the perpetrator, a co-worker," Rep. Ahn wrote.
"My heart aches when I think about the feelings of the bereaved family. I would like to pray for the repose of the soul of the deceased who left this world at such a young age, and offer my deepest words of comfort to the bereaved family," he said, raising his voice.
Rep. Ahn said, "Workplace harassment is still rampant in Korean society. It is especially prevalent among the socially vulnerable and non-working classes."
"The damage is even greater in the case of non-regular employment," he said, citing survey results that showed seven out of 10 non-regular employees in the broadcasting industry had experienced workplace harassment.
Rep. Ahn said, "It is unfortunate that MBC, where the deceased worked, has acted in such a way. It has been four months since the death of the deceased, and they have not conducted any investigation or
"I also cannot understand why no measures were taken," Ahn said. After the allegations of workplace harassment were raised, MBC said, "The deceased never filed a complaint, and there was no action taken at the request of the family."
"It is not easy for freelance workers, who are the weaker party, to speak up, so it is not fair to take responsibility," said Rep. Ahn.
"They are pushing the burden onto the victims," he said, criticizing the move as "irresponsible."
