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.[citation needed]

Personal life

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 presumably moved to Las Vegas, Nevada.[16]

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].

King voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 Presidential Election.[21]

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.[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]

King has been banned from Bluesky as a result of his actions on X.[30]
