Influencer Oli London apologizes to Jimin, BTS, and the Asian community after undergoing 32 cosmetic procedures in an attempt to resemble the #BTS member.

London says their addiction was “wrong” and “unhealthy,” although they still claim to identify as Korean and “transracial.”

“Since I shared my story with the world the bullying has only gotten worse and the level of abuse I receive on a daily basis for my identity as a Korean person is beyond horrifying and traumatic,” London said.

“I never meant to cause any offense with my actions and I am sorry if anyone misinterpreted or misunderstood my strong love for Korea and Korean culture,” London added.

London ended the video Monday saying: “I do struggle with identity issues … but I’m conquering these demons. I’m working hard. It’s not easy, but I’m trying my best.”

“I am coming out as non-binary. … My pronouns are they/them, Korean and Jimin. I know a lot of people don’t understand me, but I do identify as Korean. … I don’t identify as British,” London said

“That has been a big factor in me having surgery, me being unhappy, me also funneling my love into Jimin,” London said. “I really tried to model myself on that person, because I thought that would make me happy.”

London said they recently got married, which helped them “grow as a person.”

“I can’t be another person. I just need to love myself. I’ve started to really love myself,” they said.

London issued a public apology to Jimin, whose full name is Park Ji-min, and to “any member of the Asian community that has ever misunderstood me or misinterpreted me or thought maybe I was a little bit too obsessed with Jimin.”

London said they were bullied as a teenager in school and felt lonely and unloved, which affected their self-esteem and created identity issues.
