This paper considers the harm of hate speech from the perspective of Korean residents in Japan who are victims of hate speech. Koreans in Japan who have been overwhelmed as “not human” lose his words, and are brought back to the discriminated past at the moment they heard historical discrimination terms such as “futesenjin” and “Chonco”. Also they lost the sense of self-affirmation and the confidence in the relationship with Japanese people who have been making efforts until then. The harm of hate speech goes beyond “word’s violence” and can be said to be the “soul murder” of Koreans in Japan. Through the words of Koreans in Japan saying “I feel desperation for Japanese society that accepts hate speech,” it is asked how Japanese people face hate speech themselves. Dispersing nicknames and discriminatory terms with hate speech raises concerns about the evil that the idea of discrimination is expanded as much as the video is reproduced and spread on SNS. Another harm of hate speech is spreading prejudice and stereotyping, spreading discrimination into society as a matter of course, and strengthening the discrimination structure.
