Hyojeong said, "It happened to me in another country too but at that time I could not do anything to call Police. In India, action is taken very quickly. I have been in Mumbai for over three weeks. Now, I am planning to stay longer. I do not want this one bad incident to ruin my whole travel and my passion for showing wonderful India to other countries," she added.

 

 

Taking to Twitter with her internet name 'Mhyochi', said, "I still love India" despite being harassed on the streets of Mumbai during her online live stream. She was harassed by Mobeen Chand Mohammad Shaikh (19) and Mohammad Naqeeb Sadrealam Ansari (20) and later they were arrested by Khar Police.

 

 

Reportedly, the South Korean national was harassed and molested by the accused on Tuesday night while she was streaming live from Khar. A video of the incident went viral on social media.

 

Taking to Twitter, Mumbai Police wrote, "Mumbai Police's Khar Police station has taken a suo motu action in an incident that happened with a Korean woman (foreigner) in the jurisdiction of Khar West. In this regard, both the accused have been arrested and booked under relevant sections of the IPC."

 

In the viral video, the arrested youths are purportedly seen forcing the Korean content creator to sit in their car. Later in the video, one of them is purportedly seen putting an arm around the woman's shoulder and trying to kiss her cheek.

 

Narrating her harrowing experience, the woman tweeted, "Last night on stream, there was a guy who harassed me. I tried my best not to escalate the situation and leave because he was with his friend. And some people said it was initiated by me, being too friendly and engaging in a conversation. It makes me think again about streaming."
