In order to strengthen its expertise in the meteorological field, MBC News will put Yoon Tae-gu, a meteorologist who majored in atmospheric science and holds a license as a meteorologist, into the weather section of the "News Desk" on weekdays.

Yoon Tae-gu, a meteorologist, will be put into the "News Desk" on weekdays from the 3rd to deliver weather information.

Meteorologist Yoon Tae-gu majored in atmospheric science at Monash University in Australia and is a meteorologist who holds a meteorologist's license and a meteorologist's license. He also served as a weather officer in the Republic of Korea Air Force and gained experience in weather analysis and forecasting.

On weekdays, analyst Yoon delivers weather information to viewers through MBC's "News Desk" weather section. Although it is a short time, it will explain the weather flow centered on the weather map easily based on professional weather analysis and forecast experience.

In particular, through the "Weather Insight" section every day, it introduces major weather phenomena of the day, weather common sense, and scientific principles related to forecasts. Through this, we plan to provide information that makes weather phenomena easier to understand beyond simple weather transmission.

In addition, in the event of dangerous weather conditions such as typhoons, heavy rains, and heavy snow, it will appear on major news programs as well as the "News Desk" to explain the situation in detail and quickly deliver necessary weather information to viewers.

MBC said, "In the future, we plan to provide more accurate and understandable weather services to viewers through weather information based on expertise and reliability."

Earlier in September 2025, MBC decided to abolish the freelance weatherman system and introduce a weather climate expert system to hire full-time employees. Weather climate experts are in charge of reporting, appearance, and content production as well as the role of existing weathercasters. "We plan to select weather climate experts through public recruitment at the end of this year or early next year, and if you are a major in weather, climate, and environment, a certificate holder, or a person with more than five years of experience in related industries, you can apply, and existing freelance weathercasters can also apply," he said.

MBC has decided to form a fact-finding committee four months after the death of the late MBC weatherman Oyoanna, which has drawn attention as a bullying issue in the workplace since his sudden death, and said, "We have conducted our own investigation internally and plan to support the truth as much as possible so that the truth can be quickly identified." We will make every effort to heal the pain of the bereaved families by revealing the exact facts," he said.

The Ministry of Employment and Labor also formed a special labor supervision team with the Seoul Regional Employment and Labor Office and the Seoul Western District Office in February 2025 to supervise MBC's special labor, and concluded that "weathercasters are not workers," but that "there was an act that could be seen as bullying." It was about eight months after the death of the late Oyoanna that the Ministry of Employment and Labor admitted bullying in the workplace.

The late Oyo Anna died in September 2024 at the age of 28. The obituary was made public in December 2024, three months after the death of the deceased. Since then, suspicions have emerged that the deceased was bullied at work by colleagues during his lifetime.

Later, MBC expressed its condolences to Oyo Anna and her bereaved family, saying in an official position, "We take the results of the Ministry of Employment and Labor's special labor supervision very seriously." "We will do our best to prepare measures to prevent recurrence, improve organizational culture, and comply with labor-related laws as the top priorities of management," he said. "We will take seriously the Ministry of Employment and Labor's judgment that there was a bullying act against the late Oyoanna and carry out efforts to improve the organizational culture without delay. We will take appropriate measures against those involved," he said. "Based on the 'improvement plan for overall organizational culture' submitted to the Ministry of Labor earlier, we are already taking improvement measures," he said. "With this announcement, we will repeatedly check and supplement any inadequacies."

MBC said, "We will further supplement and strengthen the system that can improve problems that may arise between freelancers and non-regular workers as soon as possible. We will expand and strengthen the current clean center so that harassment or difficulties can be reported and improved immediately. Regardless of the type of employment, if colleagues recognize this, we will improve it so that anonymity can be secured and reported, he said. "We will take appropriate measures as soon as possible after legal review on the judgment of the worker's nature of some freelancers," he said. "I apologize again to the bereaved families for the unfortunate incident of the late Oyoanna."

Since then, MBC has immediately decided to terminate the contract with A, and it is reported that it has renewed the contract for the other three people who have been identified as perpetrators.
