Tens of thousands of taxi drivers rallied in Seoul on Thursday to protest against a carpooling service they say will hurt their industry. It comes after a cab driver set himself on fire earlier this month, in protest. The outrage has forced South Korea's largest messaging platform Kakao Talk to postpone the launch of an Uber-like feature that was supposed to go live this week. Joseph Kim reports.
