The shocking incident occurred in the middle of her ongoing Wobblethon cycling challenge and soon raised worldwide concern in the streaming community.
Fans watched in real time as the popular creator, whose real name is Yoo Yoon-jin, appeared visibly shaken while trying to barricade the hotel room door with furniture. The reminder of the real-world dangers faced by online creators turned what should have been just another fun travel stream into a disturbing moment.
Jinnytty Stalker Incident Shocks Twitch Community in Wobblethon Challenge
Jinnytty has garnered a massive international fan base through her travel streams, gaming content, and live interaction with fans. The multilingual streamer, born in 1992, was one of Twitch's most recognizable IRL creators by documenting spontaneous adventures from around the world.
In her latest project, the Wobblethon, she cycled nearly 1,500 kilometers from Poland to Romania, all streamed live on the internet. Supporters tuned in daily to follow the challenge step by step, making the trip one of her biggest streaming projects to date.
But the atmosphere changed dramatically when reports emerged that a man had allegedly followed her to a remote hotel in Rozdziele, Poland. Online accounts say the individual later tried to enter or break into her room late at night.
Jinnytty barricaded the door with furniture and began livestreaming the ordeal, fearing for her safety. Viewers apparently heard disturbing noises outside as the streamer tried to keep it together. Her chat told her to call the police and stay in the room immediately.
The livestream was quickly uploaded online with clips popping up on X, Reddit, and Twitch communities within hours.

The main protagonist of the story is Polish streamer Mokrysuchar, who ran to help Jinnytty during the emergency. Fans praised his quick actions, with many calling his actions heroic for helping to move her to safety before authorities arrived.
The online emotional reaction was immediate. One user wrote, "The courage to stay calm and stream this is unreal." Another added, "Massive respect to Mokrysuchar for stepping in when she needed help most."
The incident also sparked wider conversations about streamer safety, especially for women who broadcast their location live. One social media user warned, "This is a serious reminder that the danger that female streamers face is one that people take too lightly."
Though Jinnytty was not physically harmed, the scary experience left a lasting impression on viewers all over the world. The majority of creators are now asking for more robust safety measures, delayed location sharing, and improved emergency planning when they are doing IRL streams.
