Controversial British influencer Oli London, who went viral last year for getting cosmetic surgery to look like a member of Korean K-pop band BTS, said he plans to reduce his penis size to be ‘100% Korean’.

He said the “hate” he received led him to take a temporary social media break and, at one point, to shave off his hair.

The comments were made during a recent interview with Newsweek’s Ryan Smith, in which London, who uses “they” and “them” pronouns, estimated he has spent $250,000 on 20 cosmetic procedures to achieve his goal of resembling singer Park Ji-min.

London, who has almost 700,000 TikTok followers, announced in June 2021 that he identifies as “transracial” on Twitter, leading to a wave of backlash. Since he shared his “transition” from white to Korean, he told Newsweek he has received many negative comments and death threats.

London told Newsweek, “Last year when I actually shared my story… that was horrendous. Like, I was in Beverly Hills, I didn’t leave my hotel for a week, because the abuse was really, really bad. You know, I had, like, so many DMs saying, ‘We know exactly where you’re staying, we’re coming to shoot you.’
