“In Korea, if a boy can’t sleep with you, this kind of thing will happen. I was slapped for no reason,” she shared.
Man asked to spend the night together
According to ETtoday, Ms Liu went to Hongdae — a well-known nightlife spot in Seoul — with her friends when a man invited her to spend the night together.
When she declined, the man suddenly assaulted her.

It is understood that Ms Liu had reported the incident to the South Korean police, but received a lacklustre response.
“The Korean police are f*cking terrible,” she wrote in her post.
Additionally, Ms Liu said she couldn’t respond to private messages because of a broken finger.
Netizens remind tourists to be cautious
Taiwanese netizens were appalled at what had happened to the YouTuber.
One said South Korea was originally on their travel bucket list, but finding out about the incident made them feel disappointed.
Translation: Originally, South Korea was on my list of places to go abroad, but now I feel a little sad.Â

However, some were not as shocked about the behaviour of South Korean men, with one netizen sharing a similar incident that had happened to a Taiwanese tourist in June.
According to the tourist’s Threads post, she and her friends were dragged to a nightclub in Hongdae and were “beaten up” and called names after they tried to leave.
Translation: Last night, my friends and I were dragged to a nightclub in Hongdae. We tried to leave, but they wouldn’t let us out. They started beating us up and calling us “sh*t”.

As such, one user reminded tourists to exercise caution when travelling to the country, saying reality is far from what they see in Korean dramas.
Translation: Idol dramas and reality should be separated. Some Korean boys are really chauvinistic and not as gentle as you think.Â
