New development in the live broadcast harassment scandal in Istanbul

South Korean streamer Mhyochi, known for her videos traveling to many countries and having 145 thousand followers, experienced a major shock when she encountered an unexpected incident during her visit to Istanbul.

An elderly man approached the young woman as she was waiting to cross the street in Kadıköy. Although she could not fully understand what he was saying, it did not take long for her to realize that something was wrong with the situation.

The elderly man verbally harassed the tourist by propositioning her. However, the incident did not stop there.

The young woman, who was live-streaming with her phone while touring Istanbul, realized this time that the man was implying something with a hand gesture he made. After realizing what happened in those moments, the woman shared her experience with her followers. Stating that the elderly man who passed behind her touched her, the woman expressed that she was also subjected to physical harassment. Not knowing what to do and overcome with fear, the woman asked her followers for help.

While waiting in a corner, the woman panicked and could not hold back her tears when she noticed that the man had not left the area and continued to watch her from a distance. Experiencing great fear after the events, the young woman tried to get away from the man by running toward the side streets of Kadıköy.
