In a YouTube video titled "Being Korean" uploaded on Sunday, Oli said they now identify as non-binary, Korean, and that their Korean name is Jimin.
"I feel Korean. I don't identify as British," Oli said. "I've lived in Korea. I speak the language," they said.
Oli also shared the 18 plastic surgeries that they've undergone, which include a face lift, a brow lift, a temple lift, an eye surgery, and a teeth procedure.
According to Oli, they did this to finally feel good about themself because they have been unhappy for eight years. They hope that people will respect his decision.
"For the first time in my life, I feel beautiful. I look in the mirror and I love the way I look. I feel happy," they said.
"It's been very tough. I've been very confused and I've had so many people online bully me about my looks, my love of Jimin, my love of Korea and people just don’t get it," they added.
Before ending their video, Oli said that they definitely didn't do the surgeries for attention.
"Nobody would do this for attention. Nobody would go through this much pain, this much suffering. I’ve had 18 surgeries," they said. "I'm doing this because it's how I feel."
In a recent Instagram post, Oli flexed the final product which they described as "natural Korean beauty."
