Naver Union to Announce Internal Investigation Confirming Management's Protection of Perpetrators

[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] The Naver Labor Union announced the results of its internal investigation on the 28th regarding the recent tragic death of employee A.

On the 25th, the Naver Union stated, "During the investigation, it was confirmed that despite more than two years of excessive and unreasonable work and workplace harassment causing distress to many members of the organization, including the deceased, the management and HR system not only failed to make efforts to improve the situation but also condoned and abetted it, even going so far as to protect the perpetrators."

Employee A was found dead near their residence close to Naver headquarters in Bundang-gu, Seongnam City, on the 25th of last month. At the scene, a note presumed to have been left by A was discovered, which reportedly contained content about the stress experienced from work. The death of A has sparked controversy within the company over workplace harassment.

In response, the union launched its own investigation, conducting in-depth telephone interviews and face-to-face meetings with about 60 current and former colleagues of the deceased from May 31 to June 23.

Meanwhile, the company is conducting a separate investigation independently from the union.
