On March 4, Choi Kang-i-ja (50), a third-generation Korean resident of Japan and director of Fureai-kan, a multicultural coexistence facility in Kawasaki City, was searching for materials for a field trip lecture at her workplace when she came across a message board thread titled, 'Choi Kang-i-ja from Kawasaki! Who do you think you are? Get out of Japan!'

'Are you reading this post? Report it right away!' was a provocative post, and replies filled with hateful language were posted below it. Some of them contained over 200 derogatory words as 'messages (sic).'

On March 14, Choi and her lawyer went to the Kawasaki Port Police Station for consultation. On the 18th, she held a press conference at Kawasaki City Hall and announced that she would be filing criminal charges of defamation against the person who posted the thread and the three malicious responses within this month.
