This article was posted on Twitter by Social Network Service (SNS) 18 minutes after the 7.3 earthquake occurred in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan on the night of the 13th.
It is one of the rumors that Japan uses regularly every time an earthquake, and the article was published during the Great Kanto Earthquake on September 1, 1923 and the Kumamoto Earthquake in 2016.
The problem is that Japan is attracting Korea to its regular menu in such a tragic situation.
In particular, thousands of Koreans were slaughtered by vigilantes due to the rumors of’The Koreans detoxified the well’ and’The Koreans are arson’ that spread amid the chaos of the Great Kanto Earthquake.
It is said that at least 6,000 Koreans died at the time.
They even treated the massacre of Koreans in the Great Kanto Earthquake as a conspiracy, and even raised claims that Japanese women were raped by immigrants.
In addition, even during the Kumamoto earthquake, the rumor that “the Koreans spread poison to the well” spread on the Internet and hurt Koreans in Japan.
The Twitter account that posted the tweet in question was deleted after controversy.

When the news was delivered, domestic netizens poured out criticism against some Japanese who could not reflect on the history.
Some say, “Even if the earthquake destroys, Japan should never help. We must make it disappear forever on this planet.” They stressed that they are the rape and sexual instrument of thousands of Korean women. How can we forgive them?” .
On the other hand, Japan’s Mainichi Newspaper published an article titled’Wandering rumors and discriminatory remarks and how to deal with each earthquake’. Or report it to the management of social media,” he advised.
