“Video shows a Korean man dressed as a pregnant woman being harassed by a group of men while testing women’s safety in India.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video was created by combining two unrelated videos featuring South Korean YouTuber Sumin. The first video shows him participating in Holi celebrations as a man in Varanasi, India, in May 2025, while the other shows him conducting a social experiment in Dhaka, Bangladesh, dressed as a pregnant woman in April 2026. Since the videos were recorded in different countries and contexts, they do not show Sumin being harassed while testing women’s safety in India.
