While the sisters filmed a mukbang in a convenience store in Korea, a woman continually harassed them. Initially, she told them to speak quietly and asked if they were filming there. It didn’t stop there, though. She raised her voice while calling them “b*tches,” “beggars,” “broke,” “Chinese,” and more. They believe it was a racist/xenophobic attack, as the woman thought they were not Korean.

Netizens commended the Ha sisters for how they maturely handled such an unpleasant and dehumanizing situation.

While the Ha sisters were victims, they still pushed through with a good attitude, even attempting to give the woman the benefit of the doubt. They were concerned that she was going through a rough time at work and was ill, intoxicated, etc.
