MBC Weathercasters Honor Late Colleague in Black Attire

MBC weathercasters paid tribute to their late colleague, Oh Yo-anna, on the first anniversary of her passing by wearing black outfits.

Lee Hyun-seung, Geum Chae-rim, and Kim Ga-young, who appear on MBC news programs, were seen in somber black or deep navy attire on September 15th.

Lee Hyun-seung wore a black dress on the noon 'News,' while Geum Chae-rim opted for a similar colored dress on 'Newsdesk' and '5 PM News and Economy.' Kim Ga-young chose a navy dress for 'News Today,' symbolizing their collective mourning.

Oh Yo-anna tragically passed away at the age of 28 on September 15th of last year. Allegations of workplace bullying surfaced following her death, and a special labor inspection by the Ministry of Employment and Labor confirmed instances of such harassment within the organization.

However, the conclusion was that the workplace bullying regulations under the Labor Standards Act did not apply due to her freelance status, leaving a somber note on the situation.
