What is Mukbang?
Mukbang is a binge-eating show that is mostly live-streamed. Most of the time it shows host eating a large portion of crunchy, spicy or sweet dishes without speaking. The sound of crunchiness of the fried items, slurping the juice or sauces is description of the food in itself. Their expressions speak. But recently there have been shows where the host cooks in front of the camera and then eats it.
This show is popular in the western countries too. So, they try to pronounce it is muck-bang going by the spelling. But it is pronounced in Korean language as mook-bong or moak-bahng. This show became popular after it was live streamed in Afreeca TV. Comments were left on the video in real time.
People commenting even asked the host to eat the particular dish of the day with the sauce or cheese of their liking. Currently, Mukbang shows are not limited to Aftreeca TV but are quite popular on YouTube too. The only difference is on YouTube, the video is recorded and uploaded and not live streamed.
