一名因挑衅性恶搞行为在韩国引发全国公愤的美国YouTube博主于周三被首尔一家法院判处六个月监禁，其中包括在一座纪念二战性奴役受害者的雕像上跳舞的行为。
首尔西部地方法院认定拉姆齐·哈立德·伊斯梅尔——这位自称为网络“喷子”、网名为约翰尼·索马里的男子——多项罪名成立，其中包括妨碍业务以及传播伪造的色情内容。
检方曾要求对伊斯梅尔判处三年监禁。伊斯梅尔还面临多项指控，包括骚扰某游乐园的工作人员和游客、在便利店播放高分贝音乐并将面条打翻在桌上、在公交车和地铁上制造类似混乱场面，以及传播非自愿的深度伪造视频。
法院表示，这名25岁男子对韩国法律表现出“严重”的不尊重，并指出他以直播恶搞手段博取关注、赚取YouTube平台收益，冒犯了无数民众。法院在宣判后下令立即将其收押，理由是其有潜逃风险。

2026年4月15日周三，美国YouTube博主约翰尼·索马里抵达韩国首尔西部地方法院时向记者发言。
2024年10月，索马里发布了一段自己在一座纪念二战时期日本军队性奴役受害者的雕像上亲吻并跳贴面舞的视频，由此引发韩国公众的强烈愤慨。他随后道歉，称自己当时不知道该纪念碑的意义。
此前被限制出境以待审判的伊斯梅尔此前对当地记者表示，他对自己的行为感到后悔，并希望向韩国公众道歉。
全球范围内都有网红和游客因不良行为受到处罚。一名澳大利亚男子在新加坡《魔法坏女巫：永无止境》首映礼上冲上前与爱莉安娜·格兰德互动，因“扰乱公共秩序”被起诉并监禁9天。据移民当局消息，该男子约翰尼·温随后被遣返回澳大利亚，并被禁止进入新加坡。

在欧洲，类似事件屡见不鲜：一名游客攀爬罗马特雷维喷泉接水；一名英国男子在罗马斗兽场刻下自己和女友的名字；另一名英国游客在威尼斯运河里跳水；还有两名醉酒美国人在巴黎埃菲尔铁塔上过夜。
American YouTuber Johnny Somali sentenced to 6 months in South Korean prison over offensive stunts

An American YouTuber who sparked national outrage in South Korea for provocative stunts, including dancing on a statue honoring victims of World War II sexual slavery, was sentenced to six months in prison by a Seoul court on Wednesday.
The Seoul Western District Court found Ramsey Khalid Ismael, a self-proclaimed internet “troll” known online as Johnny Somali, guilty of multiple charges, including obstruction of business and distributing fabricated sexually explicit content.
Prosecutors had sought a three-year term for Ismael, who also faced accusations of harassing staff and visitors at an amusement park, disrupting a convenience store by blasting music and upending noodles onto a table, causing similar scenes on a bus and subway, and distributing non-consensual deepfake videos.
The court said the 25-year-old displayed “severe” disrespect for South Korean law, noting that he offended countless people with livestreamed stunts aimed at generating YouTube revenue. The court ordered his immediate detention following the verdict, citing him as a flight risk.

In October 2024, Somali sparked public outrage in South Korea after posting a video of himself kissing and performing a lap dance on a statue commemorating victims of the Japanese military’s sexual slavery during World War II. He later apologized, claiming he was unaware of the monument’s significance.
Ismael, who was barred from leaving the country pending his trial, earlier told local reporters that he regretted his actions and wished to apologize to the South Korean public.
Bad behavior by online personalities and tourists alike has been penalized around the world. An Australian man was charged with “being a public nuisance” and jailed for nine days rushing Ariana Grande before the Singapore premiere of “Wicked: For Good” there. The man, Johnny Wen, was then sent back to Australia and has been banned from Singapore, according to immigration authorities.
An American influencer visiting Australia was threatened with deportation from the country after videos of her snatching a baby wombat from its mother went viral. The influencer, Sam Jones, apologized for the incident.
In Europe, incidents have been frequent: a tourist climbing Rome’s Trevi Fountain to fill her water bottle; a British man carving his and his girlfriend’s initials into the Colosseum; another British tourist belly-flopping into Venice’s canals; and two drunk Americans sleeping in Paris’ Eiffel Tower.
