This shameful incident occurred months after two men in Mumbai’s Khar neighbourhood sexually abused another South Korean travel influencer.
Hyojeong Park, a South Korean YouTuber better known online as “Mhyochi,” was harassed by two men in Mumbai’s Khar in December last year.
The police took prompt action within 24 hours and arrested the accused; the two men were identified as Bandra residents, Mobeen Chand Mohammad Shaikh and Mohammad Naqeeb Sadrealam Ansari, and relevant sections of IPC were lodged against them. Later, she admitted that the police had acted swiftly, and despite this incident, she plans to revisit India again at some point.
