Johnny's been around for a few years. He was the guy last year that went around Japan screaming "Nagasaki, Hiroshima". He mostly stuck around Asia because it was relatively safe. Thailand, Japan, etc... basically just told him to leave the country, and everything would be fine. Even Israel just locked him up in his room, and sent him home when they got tired of him.
South Korea turned out different. After a few days the Korean live streams formed posses, and were actively beating him up and chasing him around town. After awhile he started running to the police, but the police didn't care, and flipped it on him.
