무라카타 노노카 Korean official Instagram account
A video of Ms. Nonoka Mura (2 years old), who won a silver prize at a nursery rhyme competition hosted by NHK in Japan in November last year, sings a “dog cop” with a cute expression and movement was posted on YouTube. This video has become a hot topic every day and is capturing the interest of many Koreans beyond Japan. However, as this interest led to indiscriminate malicious comments, Nonoka’s side announced a legal response.
On the 17th, Nonoka’s official Korean Instagram account said, “Hello fans, I’m going to talk a bit heavy this time.” In the article, he said, “There are rumors about Nonoka that aren’t good enough, and just looking at them seems to go beyond the degree, so I’m going to take legal action after a lot of thought and talk.” In addition, malicious comments such as “I beg for a gift from Korean fans” and “Stop dirty Japanese” or comment on the DM (direct message) came to Nonoka, and I am a child and sing because I like him, so please look pretty. He appealed that he would like it to be given.
Netizens who heard this news criticized the malicious comments directed at Nonoka. Netizens expressed their opinions by posting comments such as, “I will apologize on behalf of some Koreans for making bad comments”, “I hope that Nonoka is not hurt.” There is also a view that Nonoka is making indiscriminate malicious comments, putting anti-Japanese sentiment first, just because he is not Korean, but Japanese.
On the other hand, those who made malicious comments to Nonoka through SNS or online communities may be convicted of defamation under the Information and Communication Network Act (Act on Promotion of Information and Communication Network Use and Information Protection, etc.). In addition, in terms of coverage and contact, for defamation of defamation due to the spread of false information about Nonoka, such as “Open address and beg for a gift to Korean fans,” about posting the address of the academy, imprisonment for up to 10 years. You may be subject to suspension of qualification or a fine of 50 million won or less.
Rather than putting anti-Japanese sentiment ahead of Nonoka, who is just a child who likes to sing, it is time for a warm look and support..
