Johnny Somali threatens to inject YouTube rival with “HIV blood” & spread STDs in Korea

Streamer Johnny Somali could be looking at even more criminal charges after making threats to spread STDs and inject one of his rivals with HIV.

Johnny Somali, real name Ramsey Khalid Ismael, is on trial in South Korea for his infamous nuisance streams, but he’s continued to stir up controversy in the country.

Ahead of Ismael’s next court appearance for allegedly making deepfakes of fellow streamer BongBong, the content creator has sparked backlash for threatening to spread STDs across Korea.

In an April 22 broadcast, Somali called himself a “danger” to women in Korea and even made a disturbing threat to YouTuber Legal Mindset.

Speaking to his viewers, Somali claimed he had been intimate with many women in Korea without wearing a condom and has refused to get tested for sexually transmitted diseases.

“I don’t get any STD tests when I f**k these Korean women. I don’t. I don’t get any STD tests when I f**k these Korean women, and I make sure to spread whatever I have to all these Korean women. And the police can’t stop me. The government can’t stop me,” he mocked.

Furthermore, the streamer said he planned on impregnating as many Korean women as possible.

“I am going to up the birth rate every single day. What do you guys think I do with my free time?” he continued. “I will never take an STD test, and if I have an STD, if I have HIV, if I have gonorrhea, if I have chlamydia, I’m a super spreader.”

Somali’s STD comments didn’t end there, either. He also threatened YouTuber Legal Mindset – a creator covering Ismael’s antics and legal situation in Korea regularly.

During his stream, Somali claimed he would use a needle to “inject” Legal Mindset with HIV-positive blood.

Legal Mindset addressed the threat on his channel, explaining that Somali could be charged with attempted murder if he actually tried this.

“In Korea, if you threatened people with HIV, you’d be guilty of any of these things,” he said before listing off a laundry list of potential charges, adding that Korea has a special law in which conduct risking AIDs transmission could result in ten years in prison.

This comes as Somali is already facing numerous years behind bars for his on-stream antics. So far, he hasn’t been charged with any of these possible HIV-related offenses, so we’ll have to see how the authorities decide to act.
