<Anchor> It is a
friendly economic time.
Today (12th) will also be with reporter Kim Hye-min.
Reporter Kim, lately, there are a lot of articles written by LH employees regarding LH speculation suspicion.
However, it is said that this article was written through an app called blinds, but these days, blinds are a hot topic.
Yes?
<Reporter>
Have you ever signed up for a blind app?
<anchor>
No.
I haven't signed up yet.
<Reporter>
Many office workers know this, but there are people who still do not know, so I will explain this in detail.
In this app, only the name of the company you attend is public.
The rest, that is, your real name or department, etc. are all guaranteed to be anonymous.
So, it is a place where office workers can talk honestly.
There are 3.2 million Korean office workers registered.
More than half of those in their mid-20s to mid-30s.
In addition, about 30% of people in their mid-30s to mid-40s account for most of the subscribers in their 30s and 40s who are active in their work life.
The topics not only talk about inside the company, but also finance and dating are very diverse.

Reporter Kim, so this app is an app that guarantees anonymity.
However, since LH has recently become controversial, "I will hold the post publishers accountable."
I did this, is this possible?
<Reporter>
So I asked the blind side once, and there is no way to find the person who wrote this.
When you first sign up for this app, you'll authenticate with your company email address.
As soon as you sign up, your email address information is encrypted.
The link between the account and the email address is said to be destroyed.
That's why it's impossible to find out who has posted on the blind app.
The blind side explained that "if there is a request for cooperation, we will do our best to cooperate, but there is no personal information to deliver because the service is designed in a way that does not store subscribers' personal information at all."

So there is no way to check who wrote the article, but if you listen to what LH says, the employee who wrote this controversial article may not be incumbent.
You may be a retiree.
And I'll go one step further and delete blind accounts of non-employees.
I even talked about this.
Isn't this impossible?
<Reporter>
There are two ways to restrict resignation from the blind.
First, if you report a resignation for a specific account, the person who holds the account must re-authenticate the company.
If you do not re-authenticate, your ID will be permanently suspended.
Another way is to have a resignation request board in the blind, where LH can leave the resignation's e-mails.
Then the accounts of those who signed up with this email will be suspended.
I explained earlier that the link between email and account has been broken.
We also asked how you can close your account with just your email address.
Blind explained that a device has been applied to indirectly block access through e-mails of retirees.
As it is a patented anonymous protection logic function, it is said that anonymity is protected in any case.

Blind is talking about this app today, so let's summarize the story about LH at this point.
What kind of stories come and go a lot in blind apps?
<Reporter>
I looked at the ranking of search terms in the blind to see what kind of searches the members do a lot.
Tesla was the first in January and February.
Secondly, I searched for gme gamestops the most.
From the 3rd and 4th place, the search terms were slightly different, but they were all related to stocks.
It shows that the recent interests of office workers are focused on financial technology.
Blind provides the same service in the United States, but the content of the conversations that Korean and American office workers usually share on the blind app was very different.
Korean office workers were talking about various topics through this app.
I was confessing my work relationships, family, financial skills, and even personal concerns.
On the other hand, Americans rarely talk about personal history in this app.
Most of them were very interested in their careers.
It seems to show the culture of America where career management is important because of the frequent turnover.
