On the 24th, former ADOR employee A, who filed a petition against Min Hee Jin at the Labor Office, posted a statement on social media, saying, "I am sorry for the workplace bullying (violence) caused by Min Hee Jin.
In addition, the Labor Department also ruled that the allegations of unfair intervention by Minformer CEO in the sexual harassment case involving the vice-chairman, which was the core of the case, were unlawful.
The agency deemed this to be a “violation of its obligation to conduct an objective investigation.” Mr. A said, “The proportion of cases recognized as workplace bullying is only 12 percent, and a fine that goes beyond a simple warning is an extremely high level of sanction.”
Mr. A also told Minformer, "I have given you four opportunities to apologize so that you can finish all of this, but instead of apologizing, you have sued me. An apology is no longer necessary. The remaining civil proceedings
"The police will also respond enthusiastically," he said. However, in the case of the vice president, the case was acknowledged as workplace bullying, but not sexual harassment.
However, the representative of Minformer expressed his dissatisfaction.
The lawyer stated in a statement to Monthly Chosun that, "The facts surrounding the remarks that were deemed to be workplace bullying were incorrectly recognized, and it was confirmed that there was a misunderstanding of the legal principles of the Labor Standards Act regarding the obligation to objectively investigate workplace bullying.
"We plan to gradually move forward with the formal appeal process," he continued, "The imposition of fines on Minformer CEO and ADOR Co., Ltd. has not yet been finalized.
"Despite the fact that the investigation has been completed, some reports have been treating it as if the administrative termination has been finalized," Minformer said.
Despite this, the government was suspected of unfairly intervening, including by trying to cover up the matter.
