Controversial IRL streamer Johnny Somali was recently punched by an individual while livestreaming in South Korea. Somali was addressing his audience during his broadcast on the livestreaming platform Powerchat, when he was caught off guard with a punch to the back of his head by a passerby.

The streamer then brushed off the attack, saying:
"He hit me, like in the hat. He tried to slap my hat off, he did no damage. No damage!"
