Korean Special Forces YouTuber faces jail time for attacking Johnny Somali

A YouTuber who was part of the Korean special forces has been handed over to prosecutors for assaulting Johnny Somali.

Controversial streamer Johnny Somali, real name Ramsey Khalid Ismael, has become known throughout the content creator world for all the wrong reasons thanks to his troublesome globetrotting broadcasts.

After the American terrorized Japan and Israel, he set his sights on Korea, and wasted no time in causing havoc by kissing the Statue of Peace – a monument to victims of sexual slavery by Japanese troops during WW2.

However, Koreans weren’t willing to let Somali roam free without getting some payback. YouTuber Dalgeun Yu, a former Underwater Demolition Team/SEAL soldier, took matters into his own hands.

In a clip that Dalgeun Yu posted to his own Instagram account, he punched Somali out cold, right in front of the police which earned him plenty of praise from netizens.

Somali allegedly had a “bounty” on his head, with about $770 being offered for information on his location.

The YouTuber later claimed he “did what I had to do as a Korean citizen,” and proceeded to ask supporters to donate in order to help with legal fees.

Unfortunately for him, the case against him is going forward. As reported by Korea JoongAng Daily, Dalgeun Yu was handed over to the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors’ Office by police on November 28.

Johnny Somali, meanwhile, is facing his own mountain of legal issues. The streamer has already been charged with obstruction of business and will be going to trial in December.

Additionally, he faces a bunch of other charges including violating anti-terrorism laws, drug use, using AI to deepfake having a streamer girlfriend, and even broadcasting North Korean propaganda.

According to lawyer Legal Mindset, additional charges are scheduled to be filed by early December, so Somali could be looking at a long time in jail depending on how these court proceedings play out.

Ismael has remained confident that he’ll be able to return to the USA and avoid jail time, but, with so many potential charges looming, that’s looking less and less likely.

Not sure in specific terms, but he makes a living being posting videos of himself going to other countries and being as obnoxious and disrespectful as possible. He is indifferent to local laws and customs.

He skates on the general unwillingness of people to retaliate against — or even show disapproval of — "persons of color," or at least that's how it appears to me.

Sounds like he likes North Korea.

They should save a lot of trouble by dropping him in there very relaxed with an Ambien and a note pinned to his shirt, “I came to video myself having [bed] with your supreme leader, feed me, keep me, work me. Infidels!”

That will be so fun on his channel.

Johny Somali deserves whatever he gets. This is the idiot who taunted locals in Japan about the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings.

A Japanese court found Somali guilty of criminal obstruction of a business. He was fined 200,000 yen ($1,381)and was deported with an entry ban to Japan .

“The Korean guy is going to have big fat fines to pay.”

And decent wealthy Korean people will pay every penny of it for him.

I've worked with a couple of UDT vets over the years. Nice enough guys, but you did not want to piss them off.

Because they want to put this POS in jail, rather than just give him the pleasure of deportation.....

He’s been cutoff from most of his streaming income by being banned from most platforms. He will have to support himself without being able to be employed. If he’s jailed or fined, he can’t leave until he settles those debts. Korea has provisions for hard labor, one of which is agricultural. Loads of memes about him farming cabbage.

Deported? I doubt he will get off that easy. Check out Youtuber Legal Mindset (an American lawyer in Seoul) for the most factual info on this case.
