BUSAN — Pins hidden in her shoes, head forced down a toilet, kicked in the stomach: Korean hairdresser Pyo Ye-rim suffered a litany of abuse from school bullies, but now she's speaking out. The 26-year-old is part of a phenomenon sweeping South Korea known as 'Hakpok #MeToo', where people who were bullied publicly name and shame the perpetrators of school violence — 'hakpok' in Korean — decades after the alleged crimes. Made famous globally by Netflix's gory revenge series 'The Glory', the movement has ensnared everyone from K-pop stars to baseball players, and accusations — often anonymous — can be career-ending, with widespread public sympathy for victims.
