"On April 15, 2026, the Seoul Western District Court convicted Somali on four counts of obstruction of business, two under the Minor Crimes Act, and two sexual violence offenses involving nonconsensual deepfakes."
"Somali first went viral in 2023 in Japan, where he rode Tokyo trains blasting racist taunts about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, saying 'We'll do it again'."
"In South Korea, Somali live-streamed himself kissing, twerking, and performing a lap dance on the 'Statue of Peace,' a monument honoring Korean 'comfort women'."
"He later claimed ignorance of its meaning and issued a half-hearted apology, which did not sit well with South Koreans."
Ramsey Khalid Ismael, known as Johnny Somali, was convicted in South Korea for obstruction of business and sexual violence offenses. His actions included rage baiting in Japan, where he made racist remarks and disrupted businesses. Somali was banned from Japan after a conviction in 2024. In South Korea, he performed disrespectful acts at a monument and faced public nuisance charges. The Seoul Western District Court sentenced him to six months in a labor prison and additional detention due to being a flight risk.
