Darren, the YouTube celebrity known as “IShowSpeed“, is no stranger to testing the limits when it comes to his streaming shenanigans.
However, his next one, or so he claims, could potentially be quite challenging. For context, the streamer took to his South Korea IRL stream today (May 13), to reveal his plans to travel to North Korea tomorrow.
It’s worth noting that North Korea is known for strictly monitoring most cyber activities, including livestreaming. In fact, YouTube, the Google-owned company is blocked in the country. Hence, it’s unclear right now if Darren meant what he said. Speaking to his chat, he claimed: “Yo chat, tomorrow (May 14), join my stream. I’m going to North Korea.”
He also spoke about the possible timings of the so-called North Korean stream, stating: “The stream is going to be 5:30 pm Eastern, 10:30 UK/Europe, Saudi Arabia is going to be like 4 or 5 am and over here (South Korea), it’s going to be 6:30 am.”
YouTube streamer IShowSpeed is well-acquainted with exploring different corners of the world. He’s conducted numerous IRL streams from various new destinations, and, at the time of writing, his latest expedition is unfolding in South Korea.
He also announced plans to livestream from North Korea tomorrow. Streaming from there would present some notable challenges, particularly considering that the platform he streams on is banned there.
