On social media, many Indians urged the Mumbai Police to punish the guys who harassed the foreign visitor.
Mobeen Chand Mohd Shaikh, 19, and Mohd Naqib Sadarialam Ansari, 20, were two of the suspects who were subsequently nabbed and charged by the police.
Park's video from her livestream in Mumbai showed one of the accused approaching her and holding her hand despite her protests. He reappears with another man on a bike as she leaves and offers to give her a ride.
In a video on YouTube, the Korean tourist said, "My name is Hyojeong Park. I am from South Korea. I was assaulted in Mumbai, India. This is the video."
Park, who goes by the online moniker 'Mhyochi,' says she enjoys gaming and socialising with people on Twitch.
