Ahmet Sonuç (born 1988, Istanbul) known online as Jahrein is a Turkish YouTuber, Twitch streamer, podcaster and internet celebrity. Although starting his online career on YouTube, Sonuç gained fame as a Twitch streamer and was one of the first Turkish streamers on the platform.

Biography

He was born into a Turkish Cypriot family. Taking his early education in Karabük and moving to Antalya to receive his high school degree, Sonuç claims he studied molecular physics and biochemistry in Leipzig. He stayed in Germany for some years, but left before he graduated. Sonuç then moved to Poland and worked for G2A. He won the best publisher award at the Game Stars award held in 2018. After his marriage with Selin Çakmak on October 5, 2019, he moved back to Antalya, Turkey.

He can speak Turkish, well English, German and Polish.

In May 2021, he interviewed the main opposition party’s (Republican People's Party) (CHP) chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. Later followed by controversial Democracy and Progress Party (DEVA) chairman and former AKP economy & finance minister, Babacan. He expressed his interest in running for parliament as an independent during the 2023 Turkish parliamentary elections. But later following a few months, he said that he gave up on the idea.

Following the Turkish illicit money (money laundering) scandal revealed on Twitch, Sonuç left the platform as a protest in late 2021 and started streaming on Nimo TV in January 2022, later moving to his first ever platform YouTube as of today due to the Nimo platform ceasing its services internationally in early-mid 2022. Between April 2022 and August 2022, he had been broadcasting on YouTube and announced during his stream on August 31, 2022 that he would return to Twitch, where he is currently streaming.

During June 2022, he announced that he “has stopped taking Turkish politics and politics men seriously” following a chain of events/drama that took place on Twitter with officials within the CHP, and that he will soon legally & officially be forming a joke political party, Meteorite That Kills Dinosaurs Party ("Dinozorları Öldüren Meteor Partisi", abbreviated DİNÖM), dedicated for the younger voter base and “those are who tired of the inefficient opposition”. The party has still not legally been formed, but will be soon submitted to the Ministry of Interior, after their party manifesto is published publicly as said by Jahrein on his livestream.

Controversies
