The late MBC weatherman Oyoanna's brother, who sadly passed away, strongly protested against MBC's statement announced at the time of the first anniversary of the death.

In an interview with Star News on the 18th, Oyoanna's brother Oh pointed out MBC, which abolished the weatherman system for the first time in 31 years, and pointed out fellow weathermen who wore black costumes and broadcasted the weather on the first anniversary of the deceased.




According to the interview, Oh vented his anger by pointing out that MBC would abolish the freelance weatherman system and establish a regular worker system "weather climate expert" is nothing more than a tail cut".

He said "Crazy speculation that my brother is not a worker" and "Of course, I think Joanna is a worker. The commuting time is fixed and the work is repetitive, but if it's not repetitive, what is it?" he voiced.

He also expressed anger at the fact that fellow weathermen of the deceased appeared on the show wearing black clothes on the 15th, the first anniversary of the deceased, saying, `How do you remember the deceased when you didn't even come to the funeral?'




As for her mother, who has been on a hunger strike for 10 days, she says, `She's not feeling well.' The MBC doesn't listen to us, so if she has any eyes, she'll see her," he said bitterly.

"My mother said she was having a hard time after the fifth day of the hunger strike, but she said she would continue even if she died on the spot. "I wanted to stop her from her son's point of view, but I thought her will was the most important thing."," he said.

Oyoanna, born in 1996, joined MBC as a weatherman for open recruitment in 2021, but died of extreme choices in September last year while working as a freelance contractor. A 17-page suicide note was found on his mobile phone and said he had been constantly bullied by his colleagues. Based on this, the bereaved family filed a civil lawsuit against an employee identified as the perpetrator.




On the other hand, in the Department of Employment and Labor's special labor supervision, there was bullying within the organization", but it was concluded that the deceased, who was in the form of a freelance contract, was not recognized as a worker under the Labor Standards Act and could not be subject to workplace harassment regulations.

In response, the bereaved family continues a hunger strike in front of MBC's Sangam office building, pointing out the contradiction of the freelance structure of the broadcasting industry, saying, `The reality of making a broadcast by changing the blood and bones of a young woman.' On the 16th, the situation of the deceased's workplace harassment was disclosed through the YouTube channel BBC News.
