Hwang told MBC the heat from a glass ceiling made it hard to work in the stuffy suit and he remembers having difficulty breathing before passing out.
His colleagues said the supervisor did not take prompt action to get Hwang treatment.
The report said Lotte did not follow the rule of giving workers 15 minutes' break for every working hour. It also said the man was given just 10 to 15 minutes to a eat meal.
