Dog poop girl (Korean: 개똥녀) refers to a 2005 incident in South Korea which was one of the first internationally reported occurrences of doxing. In a Seoul subway car, a young woman's lap dog defecated inside the train,[1] and the woman was photographed on another passenger's mobile phone camera after she did not clean up the mess despite numerous requests.[2] The photos were posted on a popular Korean website and widely distributed; the woman was later identified, and her personal information was published online.[3][4] The woman was publicly shamed and quit her university.[5] Newspaper editorials then addressed the issues concerning Internet vigilantism and privacy concerns.[6]
