Johnny Somali, the U.S. YouTuber indicted for mocking Korea’s Statue of Peace, a statue symbolizing victims of sexual slavery during Japanese colonial rule, and engaging in other offensive acts, has again drawn criticism for his disruptive behavior during trial proceedings.
“Even after the first hearing, he continues to show no remorse, making outrageous remarks like ‘Korea is a U.S. vassal state’ to the press,” Seo wrote on social media Monday. “We must send a clear message through strong punishment.”
