SEOUL ¨C A chat app where South Koreans can anonymously dish the dirt on their misbehaving bosses and colleagues is belatedly stirring the country¡¯s Me Too movement, shedding new light on sexual harassment in the heavily male-dominated corporate culture.
Prompted by a recent wave of complaints about workplace misconduct ¡ª including a groping allegation made by a South Korean public prosecutor last month ¡ª the app Blind has added a new feature: a message board dedicated to a rising number of stories of harassment.
¡°We thought the prosecutor going public would put fresh momentum in the Me Too movement in South Korea, and our Me Too board was definitely inspired by her action,¡± Kim Sung-kyum, co-founder at Blind¡¯s creator TeamBlind said.
