"Koreans going hard AF. We salute you" - Video of Johnny Somali getting assaulted once again in South Korea goes viral

Controversial streamer Ramsey "Johnny Somali" has once again found himself in the news. The streamer is currently hosting his first-ever South Korean tour. Similar to his other trips, this one also has garnered a lot of backlash for him. For instance, in a recent stream, Somali was seen kissing Korea's "Statue of Peace," which is a memorial honoring victims of Japanese wartime sexual slavery.

This was one of many notorious antics. It appears that the string of controversies has provoked the South Korean locals. In a recent livestream, Johnny Somali was seen confronted by a stranger, who ended up assaulting him. This resulted in the YouTuber dropping to the ground. Watch the clip here:

This clip was quickly shared across the popular r/LivestreamFail community. Despite the incident, many members expressed their approval of the confrontation. User shaggymatter said:

"Damn, Koreans going hard AF. We salute you."

Another user, choqik, mentioned how the South Koreans have been quite vocal about Somali's recent antics:

"The Koreans aren’t f**king around."

Other users remarked that this situation was in the making, indicating Somali's provocative antics:

"To be fair people have been calling this for a while now, it was just a matter of when," said u/jollypnda.

One added that a South Korean YouTuber has put a so-called "bounty" on him, leading to many creators hunting him down. The user wrote:

"It’s cause he’s been green-lit in the Korean YouTube community. A Korean YouTuber put a 1 million won bounty (about $770) for information where he’s at," said u/XIVIOX.
