A viral video shows Kick streamer Johnny Somali, known for his provocative actions, being assaulted by South Korean YouTuber Yoo Dal-geun.

The incident occurred on a street in Seoul’s Songpa District, where Yoo, a former Underwater Demolition Team soldier, confronted Somali-whose real name is Ramsey Khalid Ismael. Seoul Songpa Police Precinct confirmed Yoo’s arrest following reports at around 9:30am on Thursday and Somali was treated for minor injuries.

The video has sparked discussions online as Somali has recently faced mounting criticism for his controversial content. Known for actions deemed offensive during his time in South Korea, he was recently seen performing a lewd dance in front of Seoul’s Statue of Peace, a symbol commemorating wartime sexual slavery victims, further inflaming public opinion.

His YouTube channel was taken down earlier this week after allegedly broadcasting explicit material, though Somali claims his account was hacked.
