Controversial Streamer Threatens To Slap A BTS Member On His Upcoming South Korea Trip
Controversial streamer Johnny Somali has attracted negative attention yet again.
Johnny Somali is an American live-streamer primarily active on the platform KICK and has recently attracted attention for his activities while visiting Japan.
While in the country, the streamer was what some called a “public nuisance,” making insulting remarks toward Japanese people, including threatening to kill them with nuclear weapons and getting in fights with locals. This culminated in an appearance before a Japanese court after being arrested after causing a disturbance at a restaurant.

He was fined around $1400 and banned from the country, and reportedly caused businesses in Japan to change their policies on public streaming.
Recently, Johnny Somali announced he would visit South Korea during an upcoming trip, stating he was ready to show the Japanese government that he “has reformed.”

However, before his visit, the streamer has already begun sharing controversial content.
In a now-deleted Tweet, the streamer reportedly stated that he was going to “slap the sh*t” out of a BTS member. A netizens shared this information after the fact, expressing disbelief at the threat.

Johnny Somali likely deleted the tweet to avoid any response from fans, but comments have already shown how unwelcome he is and expressed hope that he is treated the way he was in Japan.
