A tragic incident unfolded in South Korea when meteorologist Wu Yaoanna (pictured) passed away in September last year. Her family discovered evidence of workplace bullying while sorting through her belongings and identified two perpetrators. This revelation triggered significant public interest and led the Labor Ministry to conduct an unprecedented investigation.

At just 28 years old, Wu's family found her diary, notes, and conversations revealing long-term bullying and humiliation in the workplace. The Labor Ministry confirmed the existence of behaviors that could be interpreted as bullying within MBC and initiated a three-month special labor inspection.

The Labor Ministry stated that despite Wu Yaoanna not qualifying as a laborer under the Labor Standards Act, they recognized the existence of bullying based on public opinion and concrete evidence. They also issued a directive to MBC to rectify the situation and strengthen their employment practices in the future. Additionally, Wu's family has filed a civil lawsuit against one of the colleagues involved in the bullying, striving for justice.
