Hong Kong-based influencer Sanqiange, a.k.a. Brother Three Thousand, was found dead shortly after participating in a challenge on Douyin, TikTok’s sister app, that involved him drinking large amounts of the clear Chinese liquor Baijiu, CNN reported. Sanqiange was participating in a “PK” challenge, a competition that involves influencers going head-to-head for prizes, a friend of the influencer told Shangyou News. “I don’t know how much he had consumed before I tuned in. But in the latter part of the video, I saw him finish three bottles before starting on a fourth,” the friend told the outlet.
@almost.co After losing a challenge, the man, known as Brother Three Thousand on Douyin, recorded a livestream where he drank at least seven bottles of baijiu, a Chinese liquor that can contain between 35% and 60% alcohol. #influencer #man #drinking #alcohol #china #challenge #chinese #livestream #fyp #edutok #learnontiktok ♬ original sound - Almost
