The news of weathercaster Oh Yoanna’s passing was belatedly reported today. It was revealed that she tragically passed away in September 2024 at the age of 28. The exact cause of death has not been disclosed.
Oh rose to fame as a weathercaster after joining MBC through open recruitment. She regularly presented the weather on both weekday and weekend news broadcasts. In 2022, she showcased her talent and expertise by appearing on tvN’s You Quiz on the Block as MBC’s top weathercaster.
Her Instagram account has remained inactive since September 12th, sparking concern from fans. Comments on her posts reflect their worry and wishing for updates: “I was shocked and worried when I heard about your face injury.
I hope you’re recovering well,” “Are you doing okay? It’s been so long since we’ve seen you on the weather forecast or heard any updates about you,” and “Did you quit? I haven’t seen you around lately.”
An industry insider shared, “I heard about her passing around Chuseok, and it was heartbreaking. She was such a bright and talented person. Her fellow weathercasters are heartbroken. She was really starting to shine, even appearing on You Quiz on the Block.
Some of her friends and colleagues still find it hard to believe she’s gone. May she rest in peace.” Oh’s journey into the spotlight began in 2017 when she won the Hermoso Beauty Award at the 13th JYP Open Audition and initially prepared to debut as an idol.
She later gained attention as the newly crowned “Sook” at the 89th Miss Chunhyang beauty pageant. As a weathercaster, she connected with viewers through programs such as MBC News at 9:30 and MBC News at 12:00.
