1
How is it possible that a YouTuber could get 31 years in prison?
2
I have no moral of sociopath.
3
You're about to watch someone who thinks they can do anything, anywhere, face real legal consequence,
4
and how five mistakes built a legal case so strong that this creator may never be allowed to return home again.
5
It all starts with a simple visit to one of South Korea's most beloved memorials.
6
I stand with the Korean people.
7
I love Korea.
8
Everything that I did in Japan was for the Korean and the Chinese people.
9
When Johnny was in Japan, he walked through the streets shouting about two atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
10
Shima!
11
Nagasaki!
12
That's super offensive.
13
A lot of people died because of what happened there.
14
I don't know why he's yelling that in Japan.
15
The problem is that this isn't a normal statue.
16
It's called the Statue of Peace, and it commemorates Korean women who were forced into slavery by the Japanese military during World War II.
17
And Johnny's trying to justify his crimes in Japan by claiming everything he did was for the Korean people.
18
But really, he's just disrespecting a protected public monument, which is obstruction of both public order and a public place.
19
And that was just the first of five things Johnny did that could land him up to 31 years in prison.
20
Next, look at what he did inside a convenience store in Seoul.
21
Johnny is seen sitting in a convenience store, making an alcoholic drink and blasting music.
22
An employee comes over and tells him to quiet down and stop drinking.
23
Under Article 21 of the Food Sanitation Act, allowing customers to drink inside a convenience store can result in the owner getting fined or even having their license canceled.
24
But he continues to act like a jerk.
25
This is obstructing business, meaning he's stopping someone from performing their duties.
26
But it's the least important thing that's happening here.
27
Then, a customer tells Johnny to clean up his mess.
28
Shut up!
29
Johnny's response?
30
He turned the music up even louder and started dancing in the middle of the walkway.
31
Once he starts yelling at other customers, he becomes liable for violations under Korea's Minor Offenses Act, which covers disorderly conduct and clean-up costs.
32
So what does this mean?
33
All of these actions will be included in the case against Johnny, and when a judge reviews the case, the judge will treat each of these moments as evidence.
34
What's even more interesting is that Johnny deleted the original footage from the convenience store because of backlash online.
35
However, he may not realize that other people have already re-uploaded the video.
36
A judge can still find and use it as evidence, and depending on the circumstances, could treat the deletion of the original as an attempt to destroy evidence.
37
Which brings us to the first bus incident.
38
The music Johnny's blasting on the bus is a North Korean propaganda song.
39
He's trying to offend and disrupt the passengers to get a reaction from them.
40
Get out!
41
Get out?
42
Oh!
43
Allah Akbar!
44
Let me tell my team money!
45
Shhh!
46
Allah Akbar!
47
So once someone forces a driver to stop a bus, and they're removed, they're no longer just being disrupted.
48
They're now preventing someone else from running their business.
49
But this wasn't the only case of Johnny causing a scene on public transport.
50
People are very frustrated with him already.
51
English!
52
English!
53
Wow.
54
This is where things get dangerous, because now Johnny isn't just putting himself at risk.
55
He's putting that man, the people around him, and the driver in danger too.
56
And that opens the door to even more serious charges, like intimidation and assault.
57
I call the police!
58
112, 112, I call the police!
59
3-0-2!
60
Wow.
61
Anonymous said $10.
62
I call the police 112.
63
But the man on the bus was the least of his problems, because once Korean news started running this footage, everything changed.
64
Mapo Police Station confirmed they had opened a formal investigation.
65
Police began reviewing the clips for proof of crimes being committed.
66
And soon after, the local news reported that Johnny had been booked by police.
67
In Korea, being booked does not mean you're arrested.
68
It means you are now a formal suspect and the case is moving through the legal system.
69
And if that wasn't bad enough, the police also placed a travel ban on Johnny, which meant he couldn't leave the country while the case continued.
70
Then something happened that shocked not just Johnny, but everyone following the case online.
71
Wow!
72
Johnny was attacked by a group of strangers who said they
73
were fed up with what he had been doing in South Korea.
74
And then it happened again.
75
What do you got?
76
Oh!
77
Oh my gosh.
78
But this time it was different.
79
It wasn't a random civilian.
80
It was a former Korean special forces soldier turned YouTuber.
81
Oh man, look at him.
82
Come on in.
83
My hat, my hat.
84
He's wobbling.
85
What's up?
86
You took it off?
87
That was a hard hit.
88
And this guy's getting arrested.
89
It's still against the law to hit someone, but, you know, if you're Johnny, you should expect this coming.
90
You pretty much angered an entire country.
91
After the incident, the attacker was investigated and charged under South Korea's criminal act.
92
Reports first said he was fined around 1.5 million won, about 1,025 US dollars.
93
But later, Dialgan told another YouTuber his punishment was far worse than anyone expected.
94
He was also charged with intimidation and stalking, because the confrontation with Johnny was planned and filmed.
95
And once legal fees were added, the total fine was 10 million won, roughly 7,000 US dollars.
96
This is huge, because in South Korea, the average monthly income is around $2,800.
97
And at first, it looked like he would be stuck paying all the fines alone.
98
But then he posted a photo on Instagram of him standing in the street next to Johnny.
99
The caption read that he did what he had to do as a Korean citizen.
100
He thanked people around the world for calling him a hero.
101
Underneath was a PayPal link.
102
Almost immediately, the public began to help cover the cost.
103
But what's even crazier was that a former police officer and American YouTuber, known as Donut Operator, paid the remaining $4,000.
104
By this point, most people would start taking the situation seriously.
105
And for a brief moment, it looked like Johnny did too.
106
Johnny then went live to explain himself and share his side of what happened.
107
I want to apologize to the Korean people.
108
I was not aware of the significance of the statue.
109
You know what I mean?
110
It was just entertainment for my audience.
111
But despite Johnny's best efforts, the public didn't believe this apology was sincere.
112
Almost immediately, people warned the Korean public that Johnny had done the exact same thing in Japan.
113
They said he apologized there too.
114
And then, the moment he left the country, he insulted them again.
115
And things only got worse.
116
On the actual day of his hearing, Johnny showed up late to court.
117
This is seen as extremely disrespectful in any court in the world, because it shows that you're not taking this matter seriously.
118
And it became worse when he entered the courtroom.
119
He was wearing a Make America Great Again hat, which broke courtroom rules, and he had to be told twice to remove it.
120
Then the prosecution read the charges into the record.
121
In total, he faced two minor offense charges and four obstruction charges.
122
Johnny's lawyer entered guilty pleas to all of them.
123
By pleading guilty at the hearing, Johnny locked in criminal convictions, and in South Korea, that sharply increases the chance of a prison sentence.
124
But then something totally unexpected happened.
125
The judge introduced a fourth charge that Johnny and his lawyer had not reviewed yet.
126
Back in October, Johnny was doing more than harassing random people.
127
He was also targeting a well-known streamer named Bongbong.
128
Johnny pulled up AI-generated images and video on a live stream that showed him and the Korean streamer Bongbong
129
IRL in staged intimate moments, including a clip that makes it look like they were kissing.
130
He used that as supposed proof that she was his Korean girlfriend.
131
He told viewers that she had invited him to Korea and used those fake clips to sell that story, even though there had never been a real relationship.
132
The clip he showed even had an AI watermark in the corner, which viewers noticed right away.
133
Under South Korea's violence laws and recent deepfake reforms, creating or sharing NSFW deepfakes of a real person is treated as a crime,
134
even if everyone knows the footage is fake.
135
Each count can carry a sentence of about 10 years in prison,
136
and prosecutors have said that the bong-bong deepfake is one of the main charges driving Johnny's potential prison time.
137
Johnny's lawyer entered not guilty pleas to the two deepfake charges, but he clearly shook Johnny because of what he asked the judge next.
138
I'm going to ask you if there's any way we could do expedited trial, because I've already been here for over one year in trial camp.
139
I have family, my obligations in America, and I want to have the right to speak.
140
She explained that other foreigners had already been waiting nearly two years, and that Johnny would not receive any special treatment.
141
I don't understand your situation, but more things happened to other alien defendants who have been
142
around in this country for more than two years for any time.
143
But a lot of what Johnny said may be a lie, because during one of his streams, Johnny claimed that his family disowned him.
144
The only thing I'm really tripping over is because my dad told me he does not want me to have kids.
145
So I'm like, yeah, I'm going to just go back to crashing out.
146
Y'all don't like me anyway.
147
Y'all make a new family.
148
This contradicts his statement to the judge
149
that he needs to go home to see his family and could affect his credibility for anything he says in the future.
150
What's even more ridiculous is
151
that I found an interview where someone from Johnny Somali's team
152
revealed just how much money Johnny was making from all of his stunts.
153
In a day, roughly, how much would he make?
154
If he was streaming, a long stream, it was $700 a day.
155
What?
156
$700?
157
It's only on donation.
158
$700 to terrorize a country?
159
That doesn't seem worth it.
160
He's literally risking his life over a few hundred dollars.
161
The public also wants to see Johnny face real consequences, especially after years of YouTubers causing problems across Asia.
162
Because of that history, some people are openly saying Johnny should be punished harshly.
163
The next court date has been set for February 11, 2026.
164
If the victim, Bongbong, does not appear, the hearing could be delayed again.
165
Right now, Johnny Somali is facing eight charges in South Korea, and if he is convicted on every count, the maximum sentence is 31 years in prison.
166
Thank you so much for watching.
