JAKARTA - The Japanese government is considering implementing laws regarding cyberbullying crimes after the death of Hana Kimura, a wrestler and the star of Terrace House on May 22. The young star's departure made many parties hurt and disappointed by all the comments that Hana received during her life.

Although the organization that houses Hana did not reveal the reason for her death, fans suspect this is the aftermath of the response Hana received on social media. Before his departure, this Indonesian-blooded woman uploaded a photo of herself and her pet and wrote, “I love you. Live a happy, long life. I am sorry."

According to fans, throughout her appearance at the Terrace House, Hana often got into arguments with other players. However, one of the episodes that aired March 31 featured an argument in which Hana received criticism and harassment after the episode aired.

Several players like Ryo Tawatari expressed negative experiences after appearing at the Terrace House. "I receive swearing every day ... the other members experience that too," said the player who has been out since February.

“I also came under fire after joining Terrace House and felt hurt (heart). We on television are human and have feelings. Words can be a deadly weapon… We have to end this trend where you can say anything to those who 'say' are famous, ”Emika Mizukoshi, one of the former Terrace House players said similarly.

Terrace House is a reality show from Japan, where six people who don't know each other live in one house and finally get to know each other. This unscripted program let them seek love in their own way.

After being broadcast on Fuji Television, this program aired on Netflix and gained international attention because it was packaged differently from reality shows in general.

Sanae Takaichi, Japanese Communications Minister asked the government to start discussing cyberbullying officially. Later, users who use their account to insult and other negative things can be identified.

If this is done, the Japanese government will show protection to the public not only from the real world but also the virtual world.

Main Cabinet Secretary, Yoshihide Suga also sent messages of condolences to Hana Kimura. "It is important to increase literacy on the internet so that users do not use comments to hurt others with blasphemy."

Meanwhile, Stardom, the organization that houses Hana Kimura, said he would take care of the player's emotional condition in his latest statement, quoted by CNN.

On the other hand, Netflix Japan postponed the broadcast of the latest episode of Terrace House after the death of Hana Kimura.
