The video opens with a local boy interacting with the Korean national and asking her age. He then grabs the woman's hands and pulls her along as she inquires, "Where are we going?" The boy invites her to ride on his two-wheeler, but she declines. As she walks away, he reappears with another man on a bike, offering her a ride. The woman denies it, saying in broken English that her house is nearby.

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. https://t.co/QQvXbOVp9F
