MBC to form an investigation committee on the death of the late Oh Yoanna


MBC has established a committee to investigate the death of the late weathercaster Oh Yoanna, four months after her passing.

On the 31st, MBC announced that they would form a committee to determine the cause and truth behind Oh Yoanna's death. The committee will include external experts, such as legal professionals, as well as internal department heads responsible for handling this matter.

Oh Yoanna, who joined MBC in 2021, passed away in September last year, and the news of her death was reported three months later. It was later reported in the media that a 17-page suicide note was found on her phone, leading to growing suspicions of workplace harassment.

Oh Yoanna's family has filed a lawsuit against two fellow weathercasters, accusing them of workplace harassment and seeking damages, at the Seoul Central District Court on December 23rd of the previous year.

Additionally, an anonymous individual also filed complaints with the Mapo Police Station and the Ministry of Employment and Labor on the 28th, against MBC, department heads, and the two weathercasters.

'Love Scout' starring Han Jimin and Lee Joonhyuk will conclude on the 14th.

According to Herald POP's investigation on the 31st, SBS 'Love Scout' will air as scheduled next week.

There were speculations that the drama might face another delay due to the opening ceremony of 2025 Harbin Winter Asian Game on the 7th, but it has been confirmed that the drama will air as planned. Therefore, 'Love Scout' will officially wrap up on Friday, the 14th.

-This is pissing me off.

-Why are they being so ambiguous? It's so frustrating.

-Why are they acting like this?

-They're airing the final episode on Valentine's Day...

-So why are they canceling today's episode? SBS is such a dumbass. Just air today's episode like plannesㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's annoying to have odd-numbered episodes.

-This completely breaks the momentum. What the heck are they doing I could at least understand them canceling one episode because of the opening ceremony, but this... This is ridiculous.

-They're probably canceling today's episode to earn more ad revenue. This is pissing me off.

-I binged 8 episodes over the holidays for today... What was the point?ㅠㅠ

-The schedule makes no sense.

-I finished 'The Tale of Lady Ok' and 'The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call' over the holidays and started to watch 'Love Scout' because I was running out of dramas to watch... I was really looking forward to today's episode...

-It’s so obvious they’re dragging this out for more ad revenue.

-My world just collapsed…

‘All 176 people escaped safely’ Gimhae Air Busan fire extinguished with help from Air Force soldiers


A fire at Gimhae International Airport involving an Air Busan aircraft carrying 176 people was extinguished without major casualties, with help from Air Force personnel.

According to the Air Force on the 29th, at 10:26 PM on the 28th, just one day before Lunar New Year, Sergeant Cha Seungyeon, who was on emergency standby duty at Gimhae Airport, received the fire report.
Immediately, 13 personnel, including Sergeant Cha, were dispatched to the scene. Five minutes later, an additional 12 personnel were sent with two chemical fire trucks.

The Air Force firefighting unit worked with the Korea Airports Corporation fire department to extinguish the fire.

After putting out the major flames, Rescue Chief Moon Sungho confirmed that there were still small fires inside the cabin. He was the first firefighter to enter the aircraft to make sure all the fire has been extinguished. He said, “In my 27 years of military service, I have handled many building fires, but this was my first real aircraft fire. Fortunately, my body instinctively followed the training we regularly conducted, so I was able to complete the mission without panic.” He added, “I’m relieved that the accident was prevented without major injuries, and I feel a great sense of duty as a soldier. I hope all service members working during the holiday continue to stay strong so that the public can rest peacefully.”

The fire broke out at 10:15 PM on the 28th on Air Busan flight BX391, which was preparing for takeoff at Gimhae Airport. It was fully extinguished in 1 hour and 16 minutes, by 11:31 PM. During the evacuation, seven people, including three passengers and four crew members, sustained minor injuries such as bruises. 
Gimhae International Airport has since completed on-site cleanup and resumed normal operations in the next morning.

-But have there been any successful music variety shows set overseas? They keep making them.

-There are already too many music variety shows.

-I’m not watching because Henry is in it.

It's said that 'The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call' star Ha Young comes from a family of medical professionals

 

'The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call' star Ha Young is actually from a family of doctors🩺

"My father is a practicing doctor, and my mother majored in nursing. I heard that my great-grandfather was one of the first doctors to practice Western medicine in Hanyang. I heard that my great-grandfather was one of the first doctors to practice Western medicine in Hanyang." 

theqoo 

-What does coming from a family of doctors have to do with acting skills? I’m genuinely curious, not trying to start an argument.

-If an actor/actress has been around a particular profession, it would definitely help them in portraying that role.

-No wonder her acting was so natural.

-I really liked Jangmi’s character, and her performance in the drama was absolutely amazing.

-If her family members are actually medical professionals, she must've seen and heard a lot about the role she's portraying in this dramaㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Don't be jealous.

-So she comes from a wealthy family.

-Wow, no wonder her tone was so natural.

-I personally think her acting felt super natural.

-Dramas usually consult with experts in their field. So it must be helpful to have a family member who's a medical professional. Why are some people making ridiculous arguments with such confidence?

-That means she can ask for advice or references from her family. What's wrong with people?

-Coming from a doctor’s family and graduating from Ewha Womans University… Definitely an enviable background.

-I first saw her in 'The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call' and I have to agree that she's such an amazing actress.

Breaking News: Passengers of Air Busan plane claims that fire started from overhead compartment

 

https://n.news.naver.com/article/658/0000095653?sid=102

Was it because of a battery?ㅠㅠ

theqoo

-Huh?? That's crazy... The fire didn't start from outside of the plane?

-Hul... Fires caused by batteries are happening so often these days.

-It must've been a battery, e-cigarette, or a lighter.

-Maybe the battery got damaged because it was placed in the overhead compartment and hit something and then caught fire?

-Wasn't there almost a fire incident on Air Busan flight caused by a battery too?

-Does this mean the passenger who owns the battery is responsible for the fire...?

-We should probably ban power banks from both carry-on and checked luggage...

-Can power banks just suddenly catch fire like that??ㅠㅠ That's really scary. I need to be more careful.

-Aren't power banks supposed to be in the carry-on luggage?? How did it even catch fire?

-The exact cause of the fire in this incident is still unknown. However, there was a similar incident caused by a power bank on an Air Busan flight just a month ago....

-It could've been caused by a power bank.. Or maybe devices with larger battery like laptops or tablets.

-Thank goodness this happened before takeoff.......... It would've been terrifying if it had happened during the flight.

-Power banks are essentials when traveling... What should we do now?ㄷㄷ

-I don't even want to imagine if this had happened during the flight...ㅠ

-Power banks are indeed dangerous...

Late Oh Yoanna's family files lawsuit for 'workplace harassment' ... "We never received an apology"

 

It has been reported that the family of the late MBC weather caster Oh Yoanna, who passed away last year, has filed a lawsuit against the alleged perpetrators.

According to KBS on the 29th, Oh Yoanna's family submitted a complaint to the court last month, claiming that Oh Yoanna had endured workplace harassment for the past two years. The family presented text messages and phone call records between the late Oh Yoanna and her co-workers as evidence. Some of the text messages reportedly contained statements like, "I wonder if I'm really that bad to deserve hearing such things?" and "Am I doing so poorly that it causes the weather team to be discontinued?"

Her suicide note also reportedly mentioned the names of colleagues with whom she had conflicts, along with statements like, "I was treated as if I was an irresponsible person."

The family stated that despite suffering public verbal abuse and humiliation for two years, the late Oh Yoanna never received any apologies from the perpetrators. "We wish we could go back in time and stop that pain. This lawsuit is filed to prevent such violence and misfortune caused by the abuse of power in the workplace from happening again in the future."

The family also criticized MBC for condoning workplace harassment and demanded the company do a thorough investigation.

In response, MBC claimed that the late Oh Yoanna had never reported the situation to the relevant department or management. However, they stated they would launch an investigation if requested by the family.

MBC explained, "The company takes workplace harassment very seriously. We immediately investigate any reports or complaints filed by any freelancers or on-air talents." Furthermore, MBC requested, "We ask that you refrain from spreading unconfirmed rumors or making baseless accusations. This does not only affect the late (Oh Yoanna)'s reputation but can also create additional victims."

Currently, MBC's Youtube Channel is flooded with hateful comments directed at the watercasters accused of being the perpetrators. Comments on the weather news videos have been filled with thousands of comments such as, "This is the real-life Park Yeonjin situation. So scary," "Why did you bully Oh Yoanna?", "Did you enjoy bullying her?", "You must've felt safe thinking the victim stayed silent. How shameless," "I'm too scared to watch the weather forecast now," and "How can you go on-air with a smile on your face even after killing someone?"

Despite the backlash, the accused individuals have not issued any statements and continue to present the weather news.

Oh Yoanna passed away in September last year. She was a former idol trainee who won the title of 'Suk' in the 2019 Chunhyang Beauty Pageant. In 2021, she became an MBC weathercaster, presenting the weather on weekdays and weekends.

"You were dating someone within the company, huh?" ... Agency CEO who assaulted an underage idol receives suspended sentence

 

The former CEO of an entertainment agency who assaulted an underage idol with a blunt object has been sentenced to a suspended prison term in the first trial.

The court also ordered A to complete 120 hours of community service.

According to News1 on the 29th, the Seoul Central District Court sentenced the former CEO, A, to one year in prison with a three-year suspension on the 14th. A was charged with aggravated assault, battery, and child abuse.

A, who was the CEO of an entertainment company, was indicted for assaulting a member of an idol group at their dormitory last June. According to reports, A was intoxicated at the time of the incident. The investigation began after the assaulted member filed a police report

A is also accused of assaulting another underage member, B, for allegedly dating the group's manager. A questioned B about the relationship, accusing him of violating company rules. When B denied his accusations, A repeatedly hit him on the thighs and buttocks.

Furthermore, it was revealed that A also assaulted B and the other members of the same group with a metal rod because 'the dorm's bathroom is dirty.'

The court stated, “The defendant repeatedly assaulted a child who had little ability to resist or defend himself, using a hanger rod he had prepared in advance. The level of violence was so severe that not only did the hanger break, it also caused injuries requiring four weeks of treatment."

The judge continued, “The defendant also struck other members with a hanger, targeting their heads, making the assault highly dangerous. Considering the circumstances of the crime, the defendant's criminal conduct is severe."

They added, "However, considering that the defendant has admitted to all the crimes, resigned from his position as CEO, and reached an agreement with some of the victims for 80 million KRW. Additionally, the defendant has no criminal record or history of similar crimes beyond fines, these factors were taken into account when determining the sentence."

“Coach Shin Taeyong, thank you so much” Hundreds of Indonesian fans gathered … Meanwhile the Football Association remained until the end “There was no farewell gift”


Indonesian fans are expressing great regret over parting ways with Coach Shin Taeyong (55). Even just before he left Indonesia, hundreds of supporters were spotted following him.

Indonesian media Bolanet reported on the 27th (Korean time), “Coach Shin has returned to his home country, South Korea,” and “On the evening of the 26th, Coach Shin headed to Korea via Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tangerang. Hundreds of supporters gathered to see him off.”

The media continued, “Coach Shin and his coaching staff are all set to leave for their respective activities. One of Coach Shin’s staff members, Yoo Jaehoon, who lives in Bali will also return to Korea.”

The Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) unexpectedly dismissed Coach Shin earlier this month. Despite leading Indonesia to its first-ever World Cup third qualification round, Coach Shin was surprisingly dismissed. According to Vietnamese media VN, Coach Shin was also quite surprised by PSSI’s decision. He told Indonesian media, “PSSI announced my dismissal at 9:40 AM. By noon, they announced my successor (Patrick Kluivert). This decision is very unreasonable, but I will accept it.”

It seems like five years of his dedication is going to waste now. Coach Shin took over Indonesia at the end of 2019 and led both the U-23 national team and the senior national team. In the 2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup, he led the team to an unexpected fourth-place finish.

Under Coach Shin, the Indonesian senior national team achieved second place in the 2020 AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup and reached the semifinals in the 2022 tournament. Additionally, under his leadership, Indonesia made history by advancing to the round of 16 in the 2023 AFC Qatar Asian Cup.

The decision was made by PSSI President Erick Thohir. According to Indonesian media VOI, Thohir explained that “Indonesian football is aiming for greater heights” as the reason for dismissing Coach Shin and appointing Kluivert.

PSSI remained disrespectful until the end. According to Indonesian media Bolasport, Yoo Jaehoon shared in an interview after meeting with the Minister of Sports, “I received a souvenir from the Minister before leaving for the airport. PSSI didn’t give me any souvenirs.”

MBC released a statement regarding the late Oh Yoanna’s workplace harassment allegations: “We will conduct an investigation if her family requests it.”

 

On the 28th, MBC released a statement regarding allegations that the late Oh Yoanna, an MBC weathercaster who passed away in September last year, suffered workplace harassment. MBC stated that they would launch an investigation only if it was requested by her family.

In the official statement, MBC said, “MBC currently does not have the will that was recently confirmed to be written by the late Oh Yoanna,” and added, “If her family requests an investigation based on the will that was recently discovered, MBC is prepared to begin an investigation in the shortest possible time.”

The previous day, Maeil Newspaper reported that the late weathercaster wrote a 17-page (2,750-character) will in the memo app on her phone, where she wrote in details the workplace harassment she experienced caused by two colleagues who are her seniors, before taking her own life.

The late Oh Yoanna, who became an MBC weathercaster in May 2021, reportedly became a target of workplace harassment starting in March the following year. Records showing that she informed several MBC officials about the harassment before her death, but it was reported that MBC did not conduct any investigations even after she passed away.

Regarding this matter, MBC stated, “The late Oh Yoanna, while working as a freelancer, never informed the relevant department or any managerial supervisors she worked with about her hardships.” They added, “If she had informed any MBC personnel about the issues, we ask that you let us know who that person is.”

MBC further stated, “If she had officially reported her hardships to the company at the time, or even unofficially informed responsible managers about her suffering in any way, the company would have naturally conducted an investigation.”

Oh Yoanna passed away in September last year at the age of 28. At the time, the cause of her death was not disclosed.

In this context, the People Power Party’s Media Special Committee released a statement, saying, “MBC is avoiding responsibility by claiming that the late Oh Yoanna never reported her hardships to the department related or any managerial supervisors and stating that they will conduct an investigation only if her family requests it. This clearly shows that MBC issued a statement reluctantly only because it became controversial.”

The committee added, “The People Power Party will uncover the truth behind this tragic incident and hold those responsible legally and morally accountable.”

Late Oh Yoanna’s will revealed … “Wear pretty clothes to my funeral like it’s a party”


It was belatedly revealed that MBC weathercaster Oh Yoanna, who passed away in September last year at the age of 28, had taken her own life, and part of her will has been disclosed.

According to a report by Maeil Newspaper on the 27th, the deceased, born in 1996, wrote a 17-page will in her phone’s memo app at around 1:05 AM on September 15 last year, right before taking her own life. The will included details alleging that she had been bullied by two fellow weathercasters.

Following the report, parts of Oh Yoanna’s will, saved on her phone, were shared and circulated in online communities.

The will stated: “Please hold my funeral outdoors, like a party. Everyone should wear dresses or pretty clothes, eat finger food, and send me off with smiles. And please don’t bury me anywhere. Cremate me and scatter my ashes into the sea. Any sea is fine, or a river is okay too.”

Oh Yoanna confessed, “Living is so, so exhausting. I hate not being understood even when I try to explain myself, and I hate not being able to love the work I love to my heart’s content. I’m so sick of the pain I feel in my back that feels like it’s splitting, and the pain in my chest that feels like it’s tearing apart.”

She continued, “I don’t like how the people who love me put themselves in inconvenience while trying to save me. Waiting for God’s timing is also too hard. (Cont’d) You said all human relationships are like that, right? Keep living that way, deleting uncomfortable relationships as you go.”

The omitted parts of the will are assumed to mention individuals suspected to be perpetrators.

It has been reported that the deceased, who was hired as an MBC weathercaster in May 2021, became a target of bullying starting in March the following year.

Fellow weathercasters reportedly shifted blame onto her for mistakes they made, called her back to the office after she had already gone home, claiming she ‘needed to be taught,’ or prevented her from leaving work.

When she was invited to appear on tvN’s You Quiz on the Block in 2022, they allegedly asked, “What could you possibly say there?” and criticized her skills for quite a long time.

Before her death, she informed four MBC staff members about the bullying, but it is said that MBC took no action, sparking controversy. MBC has yet to release a statement regarding this matter.

tvN 'Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born' reportedly faced a deficit despite achieving 16% viewer ratings


Despite surpassing a 10% viewer rating, 'Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born' still experienced loss. Initially, a total production cost of 336 Billion KRWwas agreed upon with Studio Dragon, but the production costs skyrocketed due to extensive efforts to focus on the historical scenes.

The main character, Kim Taeri, received over 300 M KRW per episode. Similar to the fee Kim Soohyun received when he starred in 'Queen of Tears. While actresses usually earn less than actors, Kim Taeri earned her pay through her popularity. Her agency, Management mmm, also played a part in the production from the planning stage.

Although the drama was simultaneously released on Disney+, the 12-episode format and historical genre made it less profitable. While CJ ENM and Studio Dragon officials claimed to have recovered the production costs, rumors in the industry suggested otherwise. It's also rumored that Disney+ suffered significant losses due to this drama. With MBC filing a lawsuit against the production company, the losses are expected to increase.

It seems that even high viewer ratings can't cover the high production costs for TV dramas...

-Given this situation, it makes sense why episode counts are decreasing.

-Why not just reduce actors' fees?

-Can’t they cut down the actors' fees?ㅠㅠㅠ

-300 M KRW per episode? That's crazy.

-Unless all the actors agree to lower their salaries, the quality of dramas will gradually decline and eventually lead to the failure of the Korean drama industry.

-Kim Taeri alone took 10% of the total production cost? Whoa...

-300 M KRW per episode?? Is this confirmed?

-They should’ve at least made a good ending then. It's funny how they expected success when they ruined the original work.

-I'm glad I didn't watch it.

-The Korean drama industry is going to collapse because of the skyrocketing production costs caused by actors fees...

-Kim Taeri and Kim Soohyun are earning 300 M KRW per episode? That's too much. No wonder they're losing money.

-That's a lot of money... Is her acting even worth 300 M KRW per episode?

-If Kim Taeri was too expensive for them, they shouldn’t have cast her in the first place... This deficit could've been avoided...

'The Tale of Lady Ok' star Ha Yully shares her thoughts on the drama's finale: "I was worried whether I could do well as a villain..."



Actress Ha Yully shared her thoughts as 'The Tale of Lady Ok' came to an end.

The JTBC drama, which concluded on the 26th, is a drama that follows the intense survival story of a con artist Ok Taeyoung (played by Im Jiyeon), whose name, status, and even husband are all fake, and Cheon Seunghwi (played by Choo Youngwoo), who risked his life to protect her. The drama captured the hearts of viewers with its gripping plot, unique setting of identity laundering, and the actors' excellent performances.

Amidst this, through her agency, Starhaus Entertainment, Ha Yully shared her thoughts.

She shared, "I would like to sincerely thank all the viewers who watched and loved 'The Tale of Lady Ok.' When I first met Sohye, I was worried about whether I could portray her well, but thanks to the director and writer who believed in me and encouraged me, I gained the courage to take on the role. I'm also deeply grateful to the staff and senior actors who helped me bring out the charm in Sohye, despite being a despicable and malicious character."

She continued, "I would like to thank everyone who worked hard on the filming from the cold winter to the hot summer." Lastly, she added, "I was really happy to play the role of Sohye. I learned a lot of things during the filming. I will greet you with a more matured appearance in the future. Happy New Year." Ha Yully captured the public's attention with her portrayal of Kim Sohye. Kim Sohye is the beloved daughter of Kim Naksoo (played by Lee Seohwan) and the young lady of the servant Gu Deok (played by Im Jiyeon). Ha Yully perfectly embodied Kim Sohye, gaining attention for her synchronization with the character.

Kim Sohye constantly mistreated and shifted all her work to her servant, Gu Deok. After being humiliated by Gu Deok, she earned the infamous nickname 'Poop Sohye', and struggled to find a suitable marriage partner. Filled with anger and a desire for revenge, she transformed into a vengeful person. In order to find Gu Deok who had run away, Sohye stopped at nothing, raising the conflict of the drama and adding to its excitement.

Ha Yully perfectly captured the tension while portraying Kim Sohye's character. Her performance, filled with such intense venom, left such a deep impression on viewers that it sent chills down their spines. Her ability to embody the character so completely earned her praise as Kim Sohye herself.' This role marks yet another successful transformation in Ha Yully's acting journey, gaining positive reactions from drama fans.

Pledis (HYBE) quietly replaced the maliciously distorted photos without giving any feedback

 

Guys, I don’t think we should just laugh this off. For the purpose of preventing screenshot, this feels too much. The group photos are pixelated down to the point where their faces are unrecognizable. The official sales notice also uses the same pictures, but in the normal, unedited version. It seems like there was a malicious intention behind this... 

You re-edited the pictures and posted them again. Yet some members' faces are still distorted?ㅋㅋ Do you think we're stupid?

 

They made the members' faces look weird in the pre-order notice, where fans don't usually pay much attention. But when it went viral, they deleted the notice and quietly posted a new one. This has been happening since 2 years ago. If fans hadn't spoken up, they would've continued doing this. 

Pledis, HYBE, do you not even do reviews before posting anything? Did you actually give these pictures an approval to be posted? You've distorted the artists' faces just because they look small in the picture. Are you out of your minds? 

theqoo

-The level of creepiness is beyond my imagination...

-This is giving me chills.

-This is really strange. If they wanted to prevent people from taking screenshots, they could've just blurred the entire image, not editing each person's face like that. That's odd.

-What's wrong with this company?

-If this wasn't intentional, how else can it bee explained? They must've manually edited each face separately.

-This is giving me chills... This is no different from the way haters usually edit idols' faces in a weird way to mock them.

-HYBE is seriously weird.......

-Whoa.... Who's the person in charge? Are they a hater or what??

-Don't you find this strange? Faces are the most important thing for idols. Who would like it if their faces were distorted like that?

-I think there might be a hater among the staff.

-This is giving me chills... Are they crazy??

-They have zero basic respect for the artists. This is very psycopath-like of them.

-This is so f*cking scary.

-They seriously need to explain in detail why this was posted like this.

-Typical HYBE behavior, so I’m not even surprised anymoreㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
