The bereaved family of a late London Bagel Museum employee has withdrawn its workers' compensation claim after settling with the bagel franchise. 

The Bosang law firm, representing the family, announced its client's decision on Monday.

In a press release, the law firm said the family of the deceased employee, surnamed Jeong, and the bagel company had resolved their misunderstandings following the company’s sincere apology and continuous efforts to engage in dialogue. 

The employee, 26, was found dead on July 16 at a lodging for employees of the bagel company’s Incheon branch. 

Jeong’s family initially had requested industrial accident compensation on October 22, claiming that Jeong had died due to overwork. The family said Jeong worked for more than 80 hours a week before their death. 

Following the incident, the labor ministry began inspecting the bagel company’s Incheon branch and headquarters in Seoul last Wednesday.
