"Mukbang" is an internet fad that finds viewers watching mukbangers binge eating copious amounts of food. This strange trend began in Korea in 2011. The term "mukbang" comes from a mix of two Korean words, "muk-ja" (eating) and "
bang-song" (broadcasting). The most
popular mukbang stars (also called 'BJs' for broadcast Jockeys)
eat messy foods as they loudly slurp, chomp and display bad table manners.
I told my YouTube subscribers I would make thirty mukbang videos in thirty days, but I
think that
may be too many, so I
will only do a mukbang every other day.
