In a post on X on March 10, Somali explained that he will be returning to Asia after hisstreamswere “enjoyed by millions” across the continent.
“I’m happy to announce that I am returning to the continent! I will be arriving in Seoul, South Korea this week! Get ready for the journey!” he announced.
He further added that he will be looking to show the Japanese government that he is “reformed,” but it seems like that new persona didn’t last for very long.
Three days later on March 13, theKickstreamer responded to an account complaining that he would be coming to Seoul by issuing a warning to the beloved Korean group BTS.
