BoxBox is a social media star who has made a name for himself on platforms like YouTube and Twitch where he lives live on League of Legends. He first started out on Twitch and amassed a massive following before moving on to other platforms. Today, he has managed to build an audience that numbers in the millions. Here is everything to know about him.
Who is Boxbox? Biography
Although he is more popular by his nickname, Box Box, the player was born Albert Sun Zheng on June 17, 1996 in Fairfax, Virginia. Although born in the United States and given a Korean name, Zheng is of Chinese descent.
Growing up, he was introduced to the game quite early in his life, as well as certain musical instruments such as the trumpet. Nevertheless, it was the game he would choose over other things.
Because his life revolves around live streaming and gaming, not much is known about his personal life or how he was raised, much like not much is known about his degrees.
It is on Twitch and later on YouTube that BoxBox must make a name for itself. Although he is more popular for League of Legends, he has also played many other games including Fortnite. On YouTube, he came to build a channel that had over 1.2 million subscribers by the second half of 2018. Since 2011, it has garnered over 1.8 billion views and over 260 videos. He is also very popular on Twitch where he has over 1.3 million followers.
Aside from gaming, Boxbox is also interested in cosplay, but he doesn’t take it as seriously as he takes his games and other pursuits.
As previously stated, the player made a name for himself through his broadcast, but he later joined Velocity eSports in 2013 as a substitute player. He left the organization the same year. As of now, he hasn’t joined any other gaming groups yet, as he takes his vlogging more seriously.
Who is his girlfriend or is he gay?
One of the questions Boxbox keeps asking is whether he’s gay or not. It’s not very surprising that people think that way, especially when you consider that he enjoys cosplaying as a woman.
However, there is no indication that he has ever dated a man in the past. In fact, he has stated more than once that he is not gay.
It is unknown how many women he has dated in the past, but his last girlfriend is named Annie. The two dated for a while before calling things off. Just like the gamer, Annie also has her own vlog where she also plays games, but hers is less popular than Boxbox’s. They have played many games together in the past, such as MapleStory Date, League of Legends, and many more.
Interestingly, what led to the breakup of their relationship was academic stress for Annie, who reportedly attended nursing school. But then they got back together because they weren’t happy without each other. Since then, the two have been together.
