Depressing that it's only six months considering his tomfuckery, but better then the prior punishments he was getting.

Given the fact that he couldn't walk around outside without random Korean dudes zoning in on him and smacking the shit out of him, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that it's going to be a particularly tough 6 months for him.

Six months hard labor, plus he's been registered as a (low-grade) sex offender.

Johnny Somali will serve his six-month imprisonment with mandatory labor at a specialized facility in South Korea. His phone will be confiscated, severing his ability to stream. The five-year employment restriction at child and disability institutions presents long-term consequences for any future work in the country.

Coulda been more I guess, but I'm not complaining too much.

Coulda been a LOT more, per his wikipedia page on his charges he coulda been facing a few years.

I mean, he's clearly an asshole, but he didn't kill or physically hurt anyone, nor did he cause significant monetary damage. I think 6 months of hard labor is appropriate and enough time to reflect on his behaviour.
