Where Is Johnny Somali Now?

As of May 2025, controversial livestreamer Johnny Somali, whose real name is Ramsey Khalid Ismael, remains in South Korea, facing serious legal consequences for his disruptive behavior.​


In March 2025, Somali pleaded guilty to multiple charges in a South Korean court, including obstruction of business and public indecency. These charges stem from incidents such as confronting a convenience store worker after being asked not to drink alcohol inside and making sexist remarks. He also faced backlash for kissing a “comfort woman” statue, a memorial to victims of wartime sexual slavery, which sparked nationwide outrage. ​

Following these events, Somali was temporarily arrested for his own protection after being attacked during a livestream by a rival YouTuber. The police are investigating complaints against him, although he has denied charges of assault and drug use. ​

Upcoming Sentencing

Somali is scheduled to be sentenced on May 16, 2025, in South Korea. If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison. 


Current Status

Despite his legal issues, Somali continues to be active on social media platforms such as Rumble and Parti. However, his YouTube channel has been taken down, and he has been banned from several livestreaming platforms due to his controversial content. ​


In summary, Johnny Somali remains in South Korea, where he faces significant legal challenges. His case has drawn international attention, highlighting the potential consequences of provocative online behavior.​
