Biography

edit

Park was born in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province, South Korea[4] on October 26, 1987.[2] He began uploading videos to YouTube in March 2015. He received his current channel's name, Pani Bottle, after he uploaded a travel video of him in India, during which a water vendor reportedly shouted something that sounded like "pani bottle". A video of his experience on an Indian train[5] was reportedly a turning point in his career, and was widely disseminated by the YouTube algorithm.[6] It went on to receive over 7 million views.[3]

He has since appeared in conventional South Korean television programs.[3][7]
