Johnny Somali says he’s ‘ready to die’ for anarchist viewers as he faces jail time

Controversial streamer Johnny Somali is undeterred despite ongoing legal trouble in South Korea and is promising to be anarchist viewers’ “bastion of evil.”

Johnny Somali, real name Ramsey Khalid Ismael, is on trial in South Korea after a series of nusisance streams that earned him international attention for all the wrong reasons.

The streamer, who previously caused chaos in Japan and Israel, entered South Korea in 2024 and instantly continued the behavior that got him kicked out of other countries, resulting in police filing charges.

As such, he’s pled guilty to Obstruction of Business for an out-of-control stream inside a 7-Eleven and two counts of the Minor Crimes Act for harassing citizens with a dead fish and twerking on the subway.

As more charges loom, Somali has doubled down on causing as much bedlam as possible ever since joining the new streaming platform, Parti. In fact, he’s vowing to “crash out with no remorse” in exchange for donations.

Johnny Somali wants to be viewers’ “bastion of evil”

During a stream on Parti, Ismael urged his viewers to donate to him and in return, he’d unleash complete chaos for them.

“If y’all give me the support and the donations, and the love, the power chats, the crypto donations… I’m ready, bro. Y’all want chaos? Let me be your conduit!” he exclaimed. “Let me be your bastion of evil.”

Johnny Somali says he has no remorse, self-worth, or even self-preservation. He is a "bastion of evil." So, #johnnysomali, why give you money and support if you think you're worthless anyway? Will you self-preserve with money or support, if you have no sense of self-preservation? pic.twitter.com/kBQD5HnZnz

Somali has a history of pushing the envelope. In Korea alone, he’s been accused of blasting North Korean propaganda, creating deepfakes of other streamers, violating the railroad act, and threatening to sexually assault female streamers.

And it sounds like he’s only just begun.

“If you want to see anarchy, if you’re an anarchist and you want somebody that is going to crash out with no remorse, with no sense of self-worth, with no sense of self-preservation, I will be your man,” he warned.

“I’m ready to crash out on the streets and die for you. I have body scars. [Somebody] slashed my forehead when I was in Israel. I got bodyscars and I’m still pushing p.”

Ismael has been attacked numerous times on streams for his behavior, including suffering a brutal KO at the hands of a former Korean Special Forces soldier.

Somali’s next court date is April 9. During his first trial appearance, the streamer showed up late, hungover and wearing a MAGA hat, which he had to be told to take off several times.

He’s facing yet another Obstruction of Business charge (which carries a maximum penalty of five years in jail) and is reportedly facing a sex crime in another district.
