A former South Korean Navy SEAL, Dalgeun Yu, has become the talk of the news as he knocked out the notorious American streamer, Johnny Somali. This American streamer has built quite a name for his rude stunts in Asian countries. Yu, who has experience serving on South Korea’s elite Underwater Demolition Team, claimed he wanted to “defend national dignity.”
The incident reportedly occurred after Johnny Somali, caused outrage by desecrating a monument dedicated to the victims of Japan’s wartime sexual slavery during World War II. The streamer, infamous for his inflammatory behavior across Asia, was live-streaming near the monument when Yu confronted him. Witnesses, Yu punched Somali after an escalating verbal exchange.
Yu was arrested immediately after the incident and is now under investigation on charges of assault.
Yu showed no remorse, saying he had acted to defend South Korea’s honor. “I could not stand by while someone insulted the victims of history and our nation,” he said.
