After the incident's video became viral on social media, the outrageous incident came to light.

The victim repeatedly declined the accused's approaches, but the footage shows him allegedly holding her against her will and getting near to her. The accused and his friend approached Hyojeong on a bike and offered to drop her off when she tried to leave. A South Korean YouTuber immediately disputes this and says her home is close by.
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
