Sam Pepper
Making it onto the list is Sam Pepper, a familiar name in the YouTube community recognized for his controversial pranks. Notably, some of his actions involved inappropriate behavior towards women and orchestrating a fake murder prank on his closest friend.

Suspendas
The fourth individual featured on this list is Avrom 'Suspendas' Merlin, known for his association with the controversial Twitch streamer Ice Poseidon and fellow IRL streamer Hyubsama. However, Merlin has found himself embroiled in various controversies in recent months.
Suspendas' streams have faced significant criticism due to his questionable actions. In one instance, during an IRL stream in the Philippines in April 2023, he engaged in a simulated sexual encounter with a local woman in the presence of his child, drawing widespread condemnation. Additionally, he played loud music on a Japanese train, intentionally annoying fellow passengers. Despite the controversies surrounding him, Suspendas has amassed a following of over 18,000 followers on Kick, where he is currently live streaming from Phuket, Thailand.

Completing this list is Joel 'imjoel3004' an IRL streamer hailing from South Korea. Despite having the lowest number of followers among the individuals mentioned, with just 6.5K, Joel has consistently maintained a strong viewership, often exceeding a thousand live viewers.
Similar to Ice Poseidon and Sam Pepper, imjoel3004 is currently embarking on adventures in New Delhi, India. However, it's important to note that he is not associated with or streaming alongside them. In addition to his presence on Kick, Joel also engages in simultaneous streaming on YouTube, where he has a modest subscriber count of 6.8K. While his following may be relatively smaller, Joel's dedication to IRL streaming continues to attract an engaged audience across both platforms.
