Oyo Anna's list of perpetrators revealed, who were kicked out of MBC? A complete list of people who are still on air

The list of perpetrators of Oyo Anna has been released. Who are the real names revealed by the bereaved family and the people who were kicked out of MBC? We have summarized the current status of people who are still on air and legal blind spots at a glance.

In September 2024, after Ms. Oh Yo-anna, a weathercaster for MBC, made an extreme choice, the full story of the incident was gradually revealed.

Through the will, recordings, and diaries made public by the bereaved family, it was confirmed that workplace bullying was the main cause, and the Ministry of Employment and Labor also determined that this incident was a case of workplace bullying.

1. List of perpetrators of Oyoanna, 4 people whose real names were revealed by the bereaved family

The list of Oyoanna's perpetrators was made public by her family. The family revealed the names of four people in total, claiming that they were either perpetrators of bullying or involved in organized bullying.

The people revealed are as follows:

- Lee Hyun Seung

- Kim Ga-young

- Choi Ari

- Park Ha-myeong

In particular, the suicide note and recording contained circumstances in which they repeatedly harassed the workers, such as calling them after work to force them to receive education or shifting responsibility for false reports.

The bereaved family said they were even more hurt by the fact that some people appeared kind on the outside while secretly leading the bullying.

2. Among the perpetrators of the Oyoanna scandal, only one person was expelled from MBC.

Immediately after the Ministry of Employment and Labor announced a special labor inspection, MBC terminated its contract with one of the individuals identified as the perpetrator .
The person is believed to be Park Ha-myeong, according to media reports.

However, no action was taken against the remaining three.
Most of the people on Oyoanna's list of perpetrators are still appearing on the show.

The bereaved family criticized MBC's action as an "evasion of responsibility" and claimed that it was merely a formal disciplinary action.

3. Perpetrators still on air, viewer backlash continues

As of May 2025, three of the people on the Oyoanna perpetrators list are still appearing on MBC's main news programs.

Although they have stepped down from entertainment and promotional activities, they continue to appear in major news weather segments.

Viewers are criticizing that their appearance is effectively secondary harm, saying, “The deceased is gone, but the perpetrator is laughing.”

Some viewers are responding through comments and communities, saying , "Returning to broadcasting without even an apology? This is disrespectful to the viewers."

4. Freelancer harassment, not protected by law

Oyoanna worked as a freelancer under a contract with MBC.

As a result, the Ministry of Employment and Labor acknowledged workplace bullying, but decided that it was not subject to the Labor Standards Act .

This case is being evaluated as an example of the reality in which freelancers, who are in a blind spot of the law, are not protected from bullying in the workplace.

Accordingly, a revision to the Labor Standards Act, known as the “Oyoanna Act,” was proposed in the National Assembly.
The revision bill aims to include freelancers and non-regular workers in the workplace bullying ban.

The bereaved family said, “We will fight to the end so that my brother’s death will not be in vain,” and are calling for legal revisions and institutional improvements.

5. The root of the problem is the organization’s inaction rather than bullying.

The most notable aspect of the Oyoanna incident is the response within MBC.

The deceased informed four people of the damage while he was alive, but MBC maintained its position of “not knowing” even after his death.

The bereaved family raised suspicions that even the announcement of the deceased's death was blocked internally, and stated that the company's investigation was nothing more than a "self-investigation" and could not be trusted.

Ultimately, the incident expanded beyond a personal conflict to a problem of structural negligence and evasion of responsibility within the broadcasting organization.

Oyoanna's will and the testimonies of her family continue to resonate socially today, and remain questions about the ethics and accountability of organizations.
