Livestream drama drops when Hasan finds a stranger in his room

There are plenty of “you can’t make this up” livestream moments, but Hasan’s latest story might top the list.

During a recent stay in China, popular Twitch streamer Hasan Piker found himself at the center of a weird hotel scare. He fired up his camera, clearly unsettled, to share what just happened: somebody he didn’t know—a man Hasan described as a “random Chinese guy with black gloves”—was caught rummaging around his hotel room.

The Hotel Mystery

Let’s be real: walking into your room and seeing a total stranger handling your stuff is unnerving no matter who you are. For Hasan, who’s not just a guest but a very public figure, it hits extra hard.

He explained how he’d just stepped out for a bit. When he came back, there was this guy—black gloves and all—sifting through his personal space. No knock. No explanation. Just there. Hasan sounded thrown off, not just by the intrusion, but by the way the guy seemed totally unfazed, as if this was normal.

Why Is This So Weird?

• Most travelers expect hotels to be secure.
• You figure staff knock, announce themselves, or at least wear a visible uniform.
• Black gloves? Not a great look if you’re just “fixing the AC.”

Of course, speculation runs wild. Was it hotel staff? A confused guest? Something sketchier? Hasan admits he doesn’t know. All he knows is, the vibe was off, and the hotel didn’t explain it.

When Privacy Isn’t Private

If you’ve ever stayed in a hotel, you know it’s not your home, but you still trust nobody’s going to walk in unannounced. For streamers who travel, these risks are even bigger. What if someone figures out where you’re staying? What if they’re looking for valuables, or worse, planning something?

Hasan’s take was simple: he didn’t feel safe. And I get it. That feeling doesn’t just disappear because staff says, “our bad.”

The Takeaway

Hasan’s experience is a reminder to all travelers—especially if you’re known online—to take your safety seriously. Use the extra lock. Ask the front desk about who’s supposed to have access. And don’t brush it off if something doesn’t feel right.

Not every day you tune into a stream and get a real-life thriller.
