In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped imitation crab meat, Worcestershire sauce, sesame oil, chopped green onions, grated garlic, and black pepper.
Mix the filling ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Place a spoonful of the crab mixture onto the center of a wonton wrapper. Place a second wrapper on top and press the edges firmly to seal, creating a ravioli-like pocket.
Heat vegetable oil in a pot for deep frying. Carefully add the filled wontons to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove from the oil and let drain on a wire rack.
To make the gochujang crema, combine gochujang and Mexican crema in a tall container. Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a squeeze bottle for easy drizzling.
Arrange the fried wontons on a large platter.
Drizzle the wontons with sweet chili sauce, the prepared gochujang crema, and chili oil.
Garnish with thinly sliced serrano peppers, chopped green onions, and a sprinkle of furikake seasoning. Serve immediately.
