Narrative:

Aircraft X declared a go-around due to windshear on short final to runway 27R. As the local controller; I issued go-around instructions of runway heading climb to 2;100 feet; which is the MVA in that immediate part of the airspace. There was a heavy jet departure from runway 28R crossing my traffic's departure path; which I was aiming to stay 1;000 feet below for wake turbulence. Then I advised the other local controller; position 3LC; and they coordinated my go-around instructions into their airspace at 5;000 feet and 040 heading. I then issued these instructions to the aircraft X pilot; no response; then issued a landing clearance to a short final arrival; answered a question about my instructions to my supervisor on the shout line; then re-issued the turn and climb to the aircraft X pilot; this time with a read back. By this point in time; aircraft X was 2 miles off the departure end of the runway; and had entered an airspace with a MVA of 2;500 feet while flying at 2;100 feet. No loss of separation or wake turbulence occurred; flight continued without incident.ensure that heavy jet traffic are not turned too early toward other runways to protect for possible go-arounds. Advise supervisor to not use a shout line or perhaps wait longer to inquire the busy controller. Prioritize pilot read backs of critical instructions over other duties.

Title: ORD Tower Controller reported an aircraft conducting a go-around flew below the Minimum Vectoring Altitude because they did not hear their go-around instructions the first time they were issued.
