(SEOUL, South Korea) — South Korea’s human rights commission plans to interview possibly thousands of adult and child athletes about a culture of abuse in sports after a wave of female athletes came forward to say they had been raped or assaulted by their coaches.

The yearlong investigation will cover 50 sports and include children competing for elementary, middle and high schools, Park Hong-geun, an official from the National Human Rights Commission, said Wednesday.

He said the commission aims to interview all minor and adult athletes competing for scholastic and corporate league teams in speedskating and judo, which have been marred with sexual abuse allegations. The investigation, pushed by dozens of government officials and civilian experts, could start as early as next week and could extend beyond a year if needed.

A Taiwanese woman known as the “Bikini Hiker” for posting photos of herself in rainbow-colored bathing suits on mountaintops has died during a solo hike, the BBC reports.

Gigi Wu, 36, contacted emergency services when she fell into a ravine during a multi-day trek, but bad weather thwarted rescue operations. Wu’s body was found Monday after a night of freezing temperatures, and is believed to have died of hypothermia.

Wu is known for her bikini-clad hiking posts on social media, where she amassed more than 14,000 followers. Her fans have shown an outpouring of grief in comments on her Facebook page.

According to local news site Focus Taiwan, Wu first got the idea to begin posting the photos after she lost a best with a friend. Over the last four years, Wu reportedly said she had done 100 hikes donning at least 97 bikinis.

Some of Taiwan’s highest peaks reside in Yushan National Park, where Wu was climbing, reaching almost 13,000 ft.

(SEOUL) — South Korea’s military accused Japan of a “clear provocation” over what it said was a threatening low-altitude flight by a Japanese patrol plane over a South Korean warship on Wednesday.

Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the plane flew 196 to 229 feet above the water near a South Korean naval ship in seas southwest of the Korean Peninsula.

Seoul and Tokyo are key U.S. allies and close economic partners, but are currently locked in disputes over military issues and wartime history.

The announcement comes after a weekslong spat between the countries’ militaries over Japanese allegations that a South Korean warship locked its fire-control radar on a Japanese patrol plane in December. South Korea’s military denied the allegation and accused the plane of flying low over the warship, which was engaged in a rescue operation of a North Korean fishing boat.

JCS official Suh Wook said Wednesday’s flight was the third time Japanese planes have flown low over South Korean warships s..
