A recent video by a South Korean vlogger visiting India has sparked conversations across social media after she shared an uncomfortable experience during her trip. The incident, which the vlogger described as “disturbing,” involved harassment from strangers while she was filming in public spaces.

In response, an Indian content creator posted a heartfelt video apologising “on behalf of the country.” In his video, the Indian YouTuber expressed disappointment and frustration, acknowledging that such incidents reflect poorly on the country’s reputation — especially when it comes to tourism and hospitality. “We are known for welcoming guests, not making them feel unsafe,” he said.

The South Korean vlogger, known for her cheerful travel content, had initially praised many aspects of Indian culture and food. However, a particular incident — where she was followed and made to feel uncomfortable while recording a vlog — led to her visibly shaken reaction in the video.

Many viewers, both Indian and international, appreciated the Indian creator’s mature and empathetic response. “It’s important we take accountability,” one user commented. “This is not just about one person’s experience — it’s about how we treat our guests.”

The conversation has since grown into a broader dialogue about the need for better awareness around respecting boundaries, especially when interacting with solo female travellers. Travel communities online have also been discussing ways to ensure a safer and more respectful environment for all visitors.

While this one incident doesn’t represent the entirety of the Indian experience, it serves as an important reminder that kindness and safety must go hand-in-hand with cultural pride.
