ANOTHER BULLYING SCANDAL IN SOUTH KOREA THAT TAKES ANOTHER LIFE

A girl who have previously appeared on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' as the youngest ever civil servant to pass the exam when she was 21 years old (Korean age). Before her death, she was working at the Seoul Museum of Art, and some are alleging she was bullied at her workplace.

An official from Seoul Museum of Art told Sports Kyunghyang, “The girl died while working at home, and it’s true that she has appeared on tvN’s entertainment program in October last year.”

According to reports on February 9, police have found no evidence of foul play during investigations, which means the civil servant is likely to have suicide. The police is currently investigating the case since a will has not yet be discovered.

The girl has shared about her work before on TV. She expressed on 'You Quiz on the Block', "At first it was hard for me to adjust. Working life is very different form school life. There's no one around my age, and I'm the only female in the department, so it's a bit difficult."

According to the Jongno Police Station in Seoul, The Seoul Museum of Art has stated most employees have been working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Representatives of the museum further responded to allegations of workplace bullying, stating, "The employee has been working for a year in the museum's research department. We've never heard she was bullied at the workplace," explaining she did not come forward with any complaints to the management department or department head.

It has also been reported that SeMA is in discussion with the deceased’s family, as they feel “Rather than an internal investigation, we feel that preparing for the funeral is more appropriate.”

The deceased recently expressed her difficulties through her social media, referring to the discord at home and school. Her accounts have turned private.
