King Liang (/kɪŋ læŋ/[13][a]; born February 4, 1999), known online as Plainrock124, is an American vlogger and YouTuber. He is known for making tech destruction content.[citation needed]

Personal Life

edit

King was born on 4 February, 1999 in Yakima, Washington[14][15] to Cantonese immigrants.[citation needed] At an unknown young age, his family moved to Flagstaff, Arizona where he resided until in 2023 when it is revealed that he moved to, presumably, Las Vegas, Nevada, where he still lives as of 2024.[16][citation needed]

He attended Flagstaff High School and graduated in 2017. Afterwards, he burned his high school diploma.[17] King attended Coconino Community College for 2 weeks but subsequently dropped out to pursue YouTube full time.[18][19]

King has came out as asexual[20].

Career

edit

After King made videos destroying the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5, many news articles circulated a post on Facebook which took a frame of King's video out of context.[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]

King has been banned from BlueSky as a result of his actions on X.[29]

Notes

edit
  1. ^ Normally, his surname would be pronounced [ljɑŋ˧˥]. However, he pronounces his surname both without tone and using a more Cantonese pronunciation, despite said surname being transliterated in accordance to Pinyin, which is used for Mandarin.
