A ‘mukbang’ is a popular online content genre, originating from South Korea, where hosts eat large amounts of food while interacting with their audience through live streaming or pre-recorded videos.
The term is a combination of the Korean words for ‘eating’ (먹는) and ‘broadcast’ (방송). Mukbang videos often feature various types of cuisine, ranging from traditional Korean dishes to international favorites like pizza and burgers. Viewers tune in to watch the hosts enjoy their meals, sometimes providing commentary on the food’s taste, texture, and appearance.
Mukbangs have become a cultural phenomenon, attracting millions of viewers worldwide and even spawning dedicated eating celebrities.
The appeal of mukbang lies in its ability to satisfy viewers’ cravings vicariously and provide companionship for those eating alone. Critics, however, raise concerns about overeating, food waste, and the promotion of unhealthy eating habits. Despite the controversies, mukbang continues to thrive as a form of entertainment and social connection in the digital age.
I would like to introduce 7 famous mukbang channels in Korea.
(Posting order is not ranked)
Tzuyang is the most popular Mukbang channel in Korea. It is a channel where a cute-faced girl eats a huge amount of food deliciously.
In this content, it is even shocking to see a cute girl eating a huge amount of food deliciously. I would like to recommend Mukbang to people watching it for the first time.

5. 영국남자 Korean Englishman
This channel is not a channel where the main character eats alone. It is a channel operated by British men who are the operators of the channel. However, it gained huge popularity by introducing Korean food to foreigners. Very famous celebrities appeared on this channel. It is fun to see real reactions of foreigners to Korean food.
