Weathercaster Kim Ga-young has stepped down from 'Goal Diggers' amid allegations of workplace bullying against the late Oh Yoo-an.
On the 21st, SBS said to OSEN, "It is correct that Kim Ga-young is stepping down from 'Goal Diggers' (hereinafter referred to as 'Goldddeunye')."
Kim Ga-young is currently facing allegations of workplace bullying against the late Oh Yoo-an. She decided to step down, conveying that she could no longer cause any harm to 'Goldddeunye' and her team, Wonder Woman, and this was accepted by 'Goldddeunye'.
Just on the 6th, the staff of SBS 'Goal Diggers' stated to OSEN, "Currently, there is no recorded footage of Kim Ga-young participating, so it is not a full edit," while indicating they were awaiting the investigation results. Particularly, when asked, "Has Kim Ga-young expressed a desire to step down?" they replied, "No," which attracted further attention.
However, after about 15 days, news broke that Kim Ga-young has ultimately stepped down, which has gained traction as a hot topic on major portal sites.
Earlier, a report revealed that a letter discovered on Oh Yoo-an's mobile phone contained complaints about workplace bullying during her life, bringing the issue to light. Senior weathercasters are currently facing allegations as perpetrators or bystanders, and there are doubts that Kim Ga-young, a senior weathercaster at MBC, is one of the four perpetrators.
Amid rising criticism regarding Kim Ga-young not attending the deceased's funeral, her side has remained silent and cautious.
Meanwhile, MBC is investigating the allegations of workplace bullying against Oh Yoo-an through a fact-finding committee.
