#MeToo gathers force in S Korea through chat app

Seoul

A CHAT app where South Koreans can anonymously dish the dirt on their misbehaving bosses and colleagues is belatedly stirring the country's #MeToo movement, shedding new light on sexual harassment in the heavily male-dominated corporate culture.

Prompted by a recent wave of complaints about workplace misconduct, including a groping allegation made by a South Korean public prosecutor last month, the app Blind has added a new feature: a message board dedicated to a rising number of #MeToo stories.
