お隣の国、韓国ソウル市は、現在1980年代のニューヨークと同等のエンターテインメントの中心地となっている。
日本に入ってきているニュースだけでも、世界的に活躍し実績があるシンガー・俳優・シェフ達が、必ず、出世や抜擢後、韓国内の一般人による告発という形の因縁を付けられ、世論の非難に巻き込まれている。
そのどれもが個人間での出来事から言い掛かりに端を発しており、私もまだまだ勉強中だが、2025年現在の韓国社会の価値観は非常に倫理観が強く、先進的でありながらも、醜聞で社会的生命を脅かされる風土を持っている。
今回メニューに追加するのを決めたのは、BTSへのYouTube誹謗中傷コンテンツが、プロのコンテンツ制作会社だった事件。
俳優のチョン・ホジュン氏への個人間の怨恨から端を発している事件。
K-Rapの発生と発展に強い影響を与えたEPIK HIGH(エピック・ハイ)のTablo氏が、無関係な個人の言い掛かりに端を発した、氏が卒業大学を偽っているというデマから長期に渡り執拗に攻撃され続け、長い間活動休止に追い込まれ、その騒動の影響でお父様が倒れられ他界されても尚、狂った言いがかりは止まず、最終学歴校がそのオフィシャルサイトで、Tablo氏は本大学の卒業生である。とまで書いたのに、結局、身の潔白を証明する為と、その攻撃をやめさせる為の裁判をTablo氏自身が起こさねばならず、敗訴した相手はそれでも主張を取りやめなかった事件、等がある。
私が門外漢ながらもこの種類の事件を遠くからずっと見つめているのは、KARAのHARAさんのことがある。

I've been a fan of Seiko Matsuda since her debut.
I've been thinking about it in the depths of my heart until 2025.
How can these people avoid being stalked, being taken advantage of their unobjectionable position as official successes, and being victimized by all kinds of violence?
I've been thinking about it for a long time.
And then I thought.
The state should give celebrities and their families a protective license as a qualification.
And then give the person who is granted that license of protection the right to double the punishment for misdemeanors and harassment.
It's called public protection rights.
Then, first of all, your family's children will not be victims of bullying wherever they go, and they will not be photographed and put in the media without your permission.
And they will not be told that they are deficient in self-defense.
Why would they walk down the street without security when they are aware that they are a celebrity? And that invalidates any and all claims of responsibility.
The same goes for not having cameras installed in their homes, not having the best Secom plan, etc.
Then, if they act in private and hide their celebrity status from the public, but something happens, as soon as they find out that they are family members of the person who had or qualified for that protection license, the person who obviously bumped them on purpose can be put on probation or a few months in jail, just as an example. So, we do that.
This also puts a stop to the idea that we take for granted ethical or socially exemplary behavior in the everyday actions of superstars and celebrities.
We are protecting human rights.
It also stops any mention of defensive behavior as being excessive.
We would make sure that the legal judgment of each issue begins where it is guaranteed that it is self-defense, even if the person is not hit first.
That way, defamation can be punished by imprisonment, and abuse and harassment can be documented in one case.
A person granted a protective license would also be guaranteed the right to refuse unwanted contact.
This would make it easier for them to remain protected and safe in the general community.

The reason I came up with this is because
In Korea, there are currently situations where stalking fans are going into the homes of SUPER JUNIOR members without permission, and BTS has had to call the police when fans enter the parking lot of the apartment building where their home is located without permission.
So, first of all, Korea is, let's say, the city of Seoul alone, where Madonna, Michael Jackson, Prince, and Julia Roberts live.
They work there.
So they don't have clear protection.
There is a story about the situation, but the reason why it is stalking and why it is being carried out is that an awful lot of stars who have become world class are living in Seoul.
There are so many world-class stars living in Seoul, and these world-class stars are living together with ordinary citizens.
This is probably the first time in the history of the world that this has happened.
And since it is so easy to spot them by riding the train to the stars' private areas, the light is so strong that those who are sensitive to light can easily lose sight of their judgment.
Even as a civilian, you are encountering a situation that hasn't happened since the beginning of time.
Similarly, among the superstars in my part of Japan, we have Seiko Matsuda and RC Succession. So is Tatsuro Yamashita of Christmas Eve fame.
There is still no official guarantee of the safety of the privacy of these people.
So there have been incidents of various troubles and dastardly crimes against these superstars.
Grant protective licenses to entertainers and celebrities and their entire families.
I think this is an idea that would brighten a lot of people's day.
To the addition of this article to the menu / 20250713
The neighboring city of Seoul, South Korea, has become an entertainment center on par with New York City in the 1980s.
In Japan alone, internationally active and accomplished singers, actors, and chefs have been caught in the crossfire of public accusations by the Korean public following their rise to prominence or selection.
All of these accusations stem from events between individuals, and although I am still learning, the values of Korean society as of 2025 are highly ethical and progressive, yet it has a climate in which social life is threatened by ugly stories.
Many celebrities who are globally active in Korea cry themselves to sleep when they are attacked in the form of accusations that knock down to the ground the human rights and dignity of individuals who do not exist, or somehow the celebrities who are victimized are caught in a situation where they have to spend time and money to prove their innocence in a court of law.
It is obvious that they are taking advantage of a unique situation where they cannot prepare evidence or ask for cooperation because it is privet.
What we decided to add to the menu this time was a case in which YouTube slanderous content against BTS was a professional content production company.
The incident stemmed from an inter-personal grudge against actor Ho-Joon Chung.
Mr. Tablo of EPIK HIGH, who had a strong influence on the emergence and development of K-Rap, was attacked relentlessly for a long period of time due to a false rumor that he lied about the university he graduated from, stemming from an unrelated individual's accusation, and was forced to suspend his activities for a long time, and his father fell ill as a result of this turmoil. Even after his father passed away, the crazy accusations did not stop, and the last school he attended was listed on its official website, and Mr. Tablo was a graduate of this university. In the end, Mr. Tablo himself had to file a lawsuit to prove his innocence and to stop the attacks, and his opponent, who lost the lawsuit, still did not drop his claims.
I have been watching this type of case from afar, even though I am out of the gate, because of KARA's MissHARA.
I decided to add this article to the menu because of the global interest in my blog and to show that Japan has not forgotten about KARA's MissHARA.
