The daily life of a member of a Japanese girl group living in what is described as a "garbage house" has shocked fans.

The person in question is Ruka Okonogi (28), a member of the Japanese girl group JamsCollection. Recently, Okonogi posted a photo of her room on her social media account, saying, "Coming back home after a long time, this is my laugh button."

The photo shows Okonogi's room with clothes, bags, shopping bags, and various miscellaneous items completely covering the floor, leaving no room to step. Fans who saw the photo reacted with comments such as, "Is this the reality of a glamorous woman?", "She must be busy working hard," "I want to help clean her room," "Did a thief break in?", "How can someone live in there?", "It's a complete garbage house," and "Still, it doesn't look as trash-filled as I expected."

One user advised her to hire a cleaning company, and some professional cleaning firms even offered to clean her room for free. However, Okonogi expressed skepticism, saying, "I tried using a cleaning company in the past, but it didn't really get organized, and the situation didn't improve."

Recently, the so-called "garbage house" phenomenon has emerged as a social issue. In the past, it was mainly seen as a problem among the isolated elderly, but it is now rapidly increasing among people in their 20s and 30s.

According to officials at special cleaning companies, a significant portion of their clients are from the younger generation, with about 90% of them being women. Furthermore, many of these clients have stable jobs and active social lives, including doctors, lawyers, employees of large corporations, and influencers.

Mental health experts analyze that this phenomenon is likely the result of a complex mix of factors, not just a matter of daily habits, such as depression, lethargy, and obsessive tendencies. They particularly warn that as living spaces deteriorate, psychological stress increases, which in turn leads to even less motivation to tidy up, creating a vicious cycle that requires attention.
