Early life and education
YouTube career
Chen began posting videos to his self titled YouTube channel in 2023. His first YouTube video titled I Rick Rolled an Entire City involves Chen hiring a pilot to fly a banner behind a plane with a message suggesting it is the phone number for Elon Musk. However when people called the number they get sent to voicemail, which plays the song Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley (also known as a Rick Roll) instead.[4]
In August 2024 Chen attracted media attention after he opened a fake five star ramen restaurant in Sydney, Austrlia, that actually served instant ramen. Shortly after the stunt occured, he uploaded a YouTube video about the stunt, titled I Opened a Fake 5-star Ramen Restaurant to his channel, which went viral online.[2][5]
In November 2024 Chen went viral again after he pranked the YouTube streamer IShowSpeed with a mobile billboard during Speed's livestream on the first day of his Australia tour.[3][6]
In August 2024, Chen was temporarily banned from Uber Eats after a video uploaded to TikTok captured by an onlooker, showing him delivering food for UberEats while riding horseback, went viral on the platform.[7]
In August 2025 Chen set up a stand at a Good Food and Wine Show in Australia where he served burgers advertised as being an "organic farm to table healthy alternative" to fast food. However they were actually burgers from the fast food chain McDonald's. Chen had wanted to show that a higher price did not always equal higher quality and see if customers would notice a difference. Many customers who tried the burgers, including a former McDonald's recipe developer and several food critics, did not notice and rated the burgers highly.[8]
