A South Korean YouTuber was harassed by two men on streets of Mumbai on Tuesday night. As the woman was live-streaming then, the entire incident was recorded.
The video of the incident has gone viral on social media.
In the video that has been widely shared online, the man can be seen approaching the girl and trying to talk to her. The woman tries to be cordial. However the guy grabs her hand and starts pulling her towards a two wheeler offering her a lift. Upon realising what the person is telling her, the Korean woman starts refusing firmly. She can be heard saying “no” repeatedly. She says that she is wearing a dress and cannot accept a lift on a two-wheeler. Whenshe moves away the man moves into the frame with her and attempts to kiss her face.
Then she walks away, visibly disturbed.
The man however, follows her on the two wheeler with a friend and insists that she take a lift. however, she turns them down explaining in broken English that she stays close by. The men finally leave her alone.

The incident reportedly happened in Khar.
The woman, retweeting the video, said she tried not to escalate the situation as the accused was with another person.
“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 that it was initiated by me being too friendly and engaging the conversation. Makes me think again about streaming,” she said.
