World: K-pop death sparks bill for new law

Following the death of South Korean actress and singer Sulli, nine members of the country's National Assembly are set to forward a bill for a new law against cyberbullying. South Korean pop culture site Allkpop reported that the law aims to enforce strict rules against malicious comments that are posted anonymously. A subcommittee will gather to review details and clauses within the "Sulli Law" some time in early December, on the 49th day after the death of the K-pop star who had long been the target of abusive online comments. Sulli, whose real name was Choi Jin-ri, was found dead at her home on Monday, South Korean police said. The body of the 25-year-old former member of top girl group f (x) was discovered by her manager at her home on the outskirts of Seoul. The deceased had been suffering from "severe depression", according to police. She was known for her outspokenness and drive for women's rights, for which she had suffered online bullying and harassment. Her death sent shockwaves through the K-pop fan community.
