British influencer Oli London underwent 18 surgeries to look like BTS crooner Park Jimin, but is reportedly receiving "death threats," according to TMZ. London identifies as non-binary and changed their name to Jimin, but it seems the threats against them have only intensified. Some comments are telling them to "commit suicide" and others "[threaten] to gun them down." The influencer also identifies as Korean after going through surgeries including a brow lift and plenty of eye work. London alleges most of the attacks originate from "liberal white people," but "Republicans" and those dealing with identity issues have remained supportive.
Despite the threats, London wrote on Instagram that they "hope by sharing my story I can help others find themselves and be able to express who they really are." London seems to be taking a stand against critics and released a diss track on their YouTube channel in May. The purpose of the track was to "call out Youtuber's and people that have gone out their way to troll me online, to make videos about me and incite bullying towards me," they wrote on Instagram.
