Korean girl ‘Hyojeong Park’ opens up on her unpleasant experience in India, praises Mumbai Police

Mumbai: A South Korean traveller and content creator named Hyojeong Park was harassed and molested by two men on Tuesday night while she was live streaming from the streets of Mumbai to over 1,000 viewers. However, the duo have been arrested and the girl has opened up on what happened and what lays ahead for her. During the time incident happened, she was live on the streaming platform, Twich.

The girl opens up on the incident

In a statement, she said, “Being a content creator, I wanted to visit India since a long time. So, I was doing a live stream on the way back to my hotel around 11pm. There were two guys standing on the road and one of them yelled saying, ‘I love you’. Mostly when you are making content, people want to engage in the conversation so I said, ‘I love you too’ back while heading towards my hotel. But then, one of those guys approached me and put his hand around my shoulder while trying to kiss me. It startled me because this has never happened in my life.”

Continuing further, she said “She further explains, “After this, I immediately wanted to leave the place without escalating the situation further. But he grabbed my wrist and dragged me towards his bike, saying, “Oh, I will give you a ride”, where his friend was also sitting. At that point, I strongly told him “no” multiple times. When someone says no, the other person should understand that it is a clear ‘no’ but he didn’t and tried to kiss me for the second time.”

Fortunately, a viewer who was watching the live stream and was local to Khar helped her at that point. “One of my live stream viewers saw it, came over and told him to leave in Hindi. After that, they started to keep their distance. But I was still not sure if they were watching or following me, so I waited for five to ten minutes alone on the streets to ensure that and then ran back to my hotel, right after.”

Park praises Mumbai Police for their quick action

Despite not receiving a complaint, Mumbai police started looking for the suspects and arrested them on Thursday morning. Mobeen Chand Mohammad Shaikh and Mohammad Naqeeb Sadrealam Ansari have been named as the two defendants. At the Khar Police station, an FIR has been filed against the accused.

Later on, Mumbai police posted this on their Instagram story, “Not on our streets. Never on our streets. A South Korean woman was recently harassed by two men in public, while live streaming. Taking suo moto cognizance, Khar Police registered a case and arrested the accused early this morning. They were charged with sexual assault u/s 354, 354(d), and 34 of the IPC”.

Speaking on Mumbai Police, park said “I was very surprised by how quickly the Mumbai police took action. As a foreigner, I didn’t know what to do since I don’t know how the law enforcement system works here. If my friend hadn’t helped me upload the video, I think I wouldn’t have done anything at all.”

Park’s response when asked about her view on India

Clarifying her instance on India, she said, “It is sad that because of this viral 10-minute video, my viewers will think India is not a safe country for women to travel. But if you see my other content, you will see that’s not really the case. I got to eat a lot of free pani puris and attend an Indian wedding too! I want people to know that India is still a beautiful country to visit and they should come here. While this incident has tainted my memory, I still love India and will return back.”

The 24-year-old has been touring the nation since the beginning of November. Reportedly, Indians have filled her Instagram and Twitter comment sections after the incident was made public, apologising for the bad experience she had to go through.
