Johnny Somali Arrives Late and Hungover to South Korean Court, Pleads Guilty
Alright, so let’s talk about Johnny Somali, the controversial streamer who’s once again making headlines—this time, for all the wrong reasons. His real name is Ramsey Khalid Ismael, and he recently appeared in a South Korean court on March 7, 2025, to plead guilty to multiple charges, including obstruction of business and two violations of the Minor Crimes Act. But of course, in typical Johnny Somali fashion, things didn’t go smoothly.
First off, he showed up late—by a whole hour. Not exactly the best way to impress a judge. And to make things even more bizarre, he strolled in wearing an oversized suit and a red "MAGA" hat, which he had to be told multiple times to remove. The court session had to be postponed to April 9 because neither he nor his lawyer were aware of an additional obstruction charge. That’s right—he literally had no clue about one of the charges against him. How does that even happen?

Now, let’s rewind to the night before his trial. Johnny was reportedly trying to negotiate a deal to livestream his own court hearing on the app Parti. He even hinted at having insider information about the proceedings. But instead of preparing for his big day, he allegedly got completely wasted, ended up vomiting in his roommate’s apartment, and then somehow managed to drag himself to court the next morning, clearly hungover.
For those unfamiliar with Johnny Somali’s antics, he’s been a notorious troublemaker in South Korea, known for his disruptive livestreams that have pissed off both the public and the government. One of his most infamous stunts was kissing the Statue of Peace—a monument honoring South Korean victims of wartime sexual slavery. That incident was so offensive that it even got brought up in a South Korean parliamentary session in October 2024.
Now, back to his legal troubles. The obstruction of business charge alone carries a potential five-year prison sentence, and if he’s convicted on all counts, he could be looking at up to ten years behind bars. But that’s not all—there are also rumors of additional allegations, including potential violations of anti-terrorism laws and public nuisance regulations. Not to mention, this isn’t his first time getting kicked out of a country for this kind of behavior. Before coming to South Korea, he was expelled from Japan for similar disruptive antics.
So, what’s next for Johnny Somali? Well, we’ll have to wait until April 9 to see how his case unfolds. But judging by his track record, it’s safe to say he won’t be staying out of trouble anytime soon.
