King Liang (/kɪŋ læŋ/[13][a]; born February 4, 1999), known online as Plainrock124, is an American YouTuber and vlogger. He is known for making tech destruction content, including destroying various electronics in his videos.[14]

Personal life

King was born on 4 February 1999 in Yakima, Washington[15][16] to Cantonese immigrants.[citation needed] His family moved to Flagstaff, Arizona where he resided until in 2023 when he presumably moved to Las Vegas, Nevada.[17][18]

He attended Flagstaff High School and graduated in 2017. Afterwards, he burned his high school diploma.[19] King attended Coconino Community College for 2 weeks but subsequently dropped out to pursue YouTube full time.[20][21]

King has came out as asexual[22].

King voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 United States presidential election.[23]

Career

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.[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]

King has been banned from Bluesky as a result of his actions on X.[32]

Notes

  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.
