Peter Kang once revealed that he had been bullied in school because of his Asian ethnicity. However, he does not have any hatred in his heart and loves the Asian culture.

His family was not sure what TikTok was all about when he initially stepped into the platform. He believes one can make a lot of money on TikTok. Responding to a fan query, he once said that there are three ways to make money on the platform: to interact with fans a lot, to make sure one gets TikTok “gifts” from fans (which later turn into money), and to continue to promote brands. He himself has promoted fashion brands such as Fashion Nova on social media.

He wants to continue posting content on TikTok till the app lasts and hopes it does not fizzle out like Vine. He believes if one loves doing what one does, one would never get bored of it.

He believes TikTok will never go out of fashion, as it is like a “mini YouTube.”

His favorite YouTube content creator and inspiration for his social-media content is Lance Stewart. He is also a fan of Korean–American YouTuber DavidSoComedy and English YouTuber Kristen Hanby. It is his dream to meet David someday.

Peter’s favorite Naruto characters are Rock Lee and Gaara.

Responding to a question regarding how he balances social media, MMA, and school, he said discipline is the key to a balanced life. He also stated that he has a lot of work at school but tries to post on TikTok at least thrice a day and on YouTube at least once a week. He also revealed that he devotes time to MMA six times a week.
