Controversial IRL (in real life) streamer Ramsey Khalid Ismael, aka "Johnny Somali," has found himself in trouble again after being reportedly arrested in Seoul, South Korea. Allegedly, the streamer was out in the city streets wearing boxers. Additionally, he taunted the authorities.
The news of his arrest was shared by verified X user Legal Mindset (@TheLegalMindset). To make matters worse for Somali, he has also been suspended on Parti — where he currently hosts his streams. Here's what Legal Mindset wrote on X:
"I wake up to hear Ramsey Khalid Ismael (Johnny Somali) ran around the streets of Seoul in his boxers last night, repeatedly taunting cops until he was finally arrested (temporarily, he's been released) and his sole live streaming platform, Parti, suspended him."
Will Johnny Somali be deported from South Korea?
This isn't the first time Somali has had a run-in with the police there, as he has previously been accused of causing public disturbances and offending Korean sentiments.
There is also a possibility of the IRL streamer facing deportation from South Korea. When asked about it, Legal Mindset remarked:
"They will deport him..after jail time."
A clip from the streamer's recent live broadcast was shared on X. In the footage, he can be seen livestreaming shirtless, allegedly while intoxicated. Watch the clip here:
