Eh, tragic and all but this sounds like it was just stupid design or the guy purposefully turned off necessary safety features (which makes it his own fault). No lock-out tag-out? No laser curtain? There should have been no way for the man to get CLOSE ENOUGH to be tagged while the robot was running like that.

You’re right, but the culture at any given plant might be hostile to doing things the right - safe - way.
You’re assuming there are laws in Korea that mandate those safety features.
I’ve never thought of South Korea as a shit place with no workplace safety
