Who is Jino? Controversial Kick streamer threatens to assault Japanese McDoland’s employee and dox an online community member

Kick streamers have a track record of being in the headlines for provoking controversy. This trend appears to be continuing with Jino (@jinoirl), a streamer with 5.3K followers on his Kick account. The streamer, like one of his predecessors Ramsey "Johnny Somali," has made the news for the wrong reasons while in Japan.

Jino has previously collaborated with Johnny Somali. The latter, of course, was arrested in 2023 in Japan for his antics and has since left the country. Jino has continued staying there and recently, there have been reports indicating that he has been involved in further disturbances.

Jino, a Kick streamer, has landed in the headlines after causing a disturbance in Osaka. Much like Johnny Somali, he specializes in IRL (In-Real-Life) streaming, sharing his outings and activities with his audience.

On April 19, 2024, Jino, the streamer, entered a McDonald's located in the Shinsaibashi South district of Osaka while livestreaming. He then livestreamed from inside the establishment, despite being prohibited from doing so. A member of the staff even approached him and attempted to remove the phone.

This action provoked the streamer, who initially threatened to involve law enforcement and even suggested he might resort to physical confrontation with the staff. The Kick streamer said:

This wasn't the only controversy Jino found himself embroiled in. During a stream on April 20, he used his platform to publicly confront online accounts that had criticized him for his behavior, threatening to dox them. He said:

This isn't the only instance of Jino getting into trouble. In March 2024, the streamer visited Thailand and was witnessed causing disturbances by confronting locals. Jino was also assaulted live on stream last year
