Arun Kumar K S was born on 28 December 1995 in Thrissur, Kerala. Arun, professionally known as 'Arun Smoki,' is notable for producing YouTube video content related to Automotive reviews and Vlogs in Malayalam. Arun completed his schooling at GVHSS, Ramavarmapuram. After 12th grade, he started working for a private company where he ventured into content creation, now his significant career. Arun joined the YouTube community in 2017 to show his passion for bikes and cars, which eventually became a responsibility in growing subscribers.

It all started with a small video back in 2019 where he shared his knowledge regarding bike accidents in Kerala and the careless behavior among the youth for spreading awareness on safe and responsible driving. The feedback response he got for this video played a significant factor in the decision to launch an automobile-specific YouTube channel. Arun is well-known, particularly among youth, for his bike reviews. He has a dedicated channel for traveling and personal experiences and is a bike and travel lover titled 'Arun Smoki' and 'Arun Smoki Vlogs.' Arun enjoys exploring new places on his motorcycle and thus far has covered more than 16,000 kilometers across 20 states.

Understanding the audience has always given him the upper hand with content through continuous research and a desire to learn about every new bike or car going with the trends and latest models. Great power comes with great responsibility. He conveys to young people the need for defensive driving and firmly believes in not drinking and driving, which he promotes through his videos and blog. His videos include everything from appraisals of new and modified bikes and cars to the innovations of young people from remote places. A demo Lamborghini car made by a young boy in Kerala came to the limelight through his video. Arun received the Best Automotive Vlogger Award 2021 by 24 News Social Media Awards.
