After the apparent suicide of South Korean actress, Choi Jin-Sil, who was rumoured to have lent a huge sum of money to a South Korean actor Ahn Jae-Hwan, who committed suicide in early September due to business losses.

South Korea, who enjoys heavy penetration of fast broadband internet, has a very high rate of cyber bullying. These two suicides are not the only two incidences of victims taking their own lives. I recall the case of another beautiful South Korean actress who killed herself due to cyber bullying.

And if you are a fan of Goong, you will know how fans of the highly popular Korean drama split into two camps and “fought” online in various forums, blogs and fan sites of the main actors and actresses on Goong.

In the wake of this latest suicide by an actress due to cyber bullying, Seoul Government has now imposed a cyber law which requires the owners of major portals to record the particulars of users and commenters who have mostly been using fake IDs so that should victims want to sue for libel, they could.

However, I wonder how this could be imposed. We all know how easily one could register for an account with websites and forums with fake names, identification numbers and telephone numbers, right?
