It has been revealed that Park Yi-young (30, Kaya), a Korean defender who has been on the German stage for nearly 10 years, was committed a pickpocket crime in the Philippines.

Park Yi-young shared a video of two women with a long story in her personal SNS post on the 5th (Korea time).

"Bonifacio Global City (BGC) Pickpocket Alert!" in a post that started recently revealed how he was pickpocketed in the Philippines. He was walking down the street in Bonifacio. Six women stayed quiet for a long time, surrounding me. Three people blocked in front of me so I wouldn't be able to walk fast, and the others stuck close behind me. Then suddenly they dispersed. I sensed something was wrong" he said.

Then "So I checked my bag right away. The zipper was open, and I realized that my wallet was missing. They were running away far away. Divided into three groups and headed in different directions. I chased one of the groups. I approached them and asked them to return my wallet. They began to make a loud noise. He got mad at me and started overreacting, saying, `We didn't take your wallet.' I was more convinced that they had stolen their wallets. I asked for help from a nearby guard, but the guards did nothing."

I kept chasing after them. When we reached a place where there were few people, one accomplice said 'Let's return the wallet to the other accomplice and stop leaving. That's how I was able to get my wallet back. I checked my ID, card, etc. in my wallet and started taking videos to leave evidence. Some cash was missing. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I hope everyone will be alert and careful not to let this happen again."

In the video taken by Park Yi-young herself, two women who appear to be from the Philippines are walking fast somewhere. One covered his face with his hand. At the end of the video, they were seen running. Park Yi-young wrote "Please share this face" Philippine media including GMA News also reported that a Korean soccer player was pickpocketed in the Philippines' is an article.
