Oli London has gained attention in the K-pop community when he made himself known to be in love with BTS’s Jimin. He even went as far as to marry a cutout of the K-pop star!
The Caucasian-Korean singer first made headlines when he revealed his desire to look like Jimin and underwent multiple plastic surgeries in an attempt to look like him. Since then, he has continued to make headlines for doing outrageous things, but his latest stunt has crossed the line for netizens.
On Thursday afternoon, K-pop fans believed he allegedly pulled off a suicide prank. Fans began talking about the infamous British K-pop star after his Instagram was memorialized for some time on Thursday afternoon, May 27, before going back to normal. He had gone silent on all of his social media accounts three days ago, barring TikTok where he posted a video on Wednesday, May 26.
He began trending on Twitter almost immediately.

Another Twitter user said,
“Oli London did not off himself, he did it as a prank, why does he still have a platform ???”
Some Twitter users are concerned, tweeting,
“This man has some serious issues. all of the memes aside, what goes through his head. when people struggle with this in their daily lives. [sic]”
London is no stranger to being cancelled by K-pop fans. The last time he came face-to-face with their wrath was in April when he opened up about feeling sad and disappointed over trolls cancelling him on TikTok. His live video was bombarded with a lot of rebuttals from K-pop fans, which would have been embarrassing for anyone. Multiple mean comments sprouted and people were even mass reporting his account.
