As someone with a Korean heritage, I can confirm that many Koreans feel loneliness due to people around them not being genuine or using them for their own benefit.

    I personally don't mind mukbang videos when the portions are realistic and the person is eating like a normal person while just having a casual conversation. Basically how they were originally. It is like a nice little chill hangout.
    Of course I was not surprised when people started making the videos with bigger and more insane meals, people always do that. And like any of these niche trends online, it would obviously turn into a kind of fetish that would draw even more attention to it and morph it into having even more bizzare behaviour as the requests got weirder and weirder.
    Another aspect of it that Jamie didn't mention is that these massive mukbang videos are sort of "freak show" content. A lot of people want to witness other people acting outside of the norm. Like watching reality tv or competative eating contests, if you saw people eating or behaving like this in public most people would want to avoid them but in a different setting with different context a lot of people would find it entertaining.

    As far as mukbangs go, Stephanie Soo is the best. She has a lot of food but splits it between her and her fiance and maybe another person or two so it's not gross.

When i first saw trisha (i guess about 4.5 years ago) do those mukbangs, i was pregnant with my 3rd son, i was in constant pain and i had just discovered food delivery services. I finally gained some weight but in the most unhealthy way. Id sit on my couch all day because it was to painful to walk anywhere ot do anything, and order fast food twice a day. When i finally had my son i couldnt walk around at work without having to catch my breath every couple of minutes.luckily i worked with my dad and uncle so i took my son with me and had a futon in my dads office. All that to say, im not easily influenced by social media but something about watching people eat large amounts of food on youtube really didnsome bad things to me mentally and ohysically. It took me a while to start eating normal again. Oh, and my hisband was out of town for a week or two at a time soche had no idea. When he was home, he'd cook every meal and hes an amazing vook, but id sneak out to "run an errand" just so i could go thriugh a drive through. All the employees that worked a window within 20 mile radius, knew me by my order. It got bad.

    When I was 16, I was very lonely and ate dinner alone most nights. I'd watch Trisha paytas eat during dinner and it truly felt like I wasn't alone.
    Sometimes id watch this woman named Wendy eat hot Cheetos because I want really allowed to eat hot Cheetos. So it was both.
    Today's mukbang videos are weird. I noticed the shift with Nick's videos with the other woman who made mukbangs. They went to a burger place that weighs you before you eat giant portions. That's when it became something else.
    I don't watch mukbangs anymore.

I do have some emotional food insecurity, my mom and dad had it and raised me with it, but I've learned that learning how to manage my pantry and cook healthy meals makes things better.

    • @kittygoesWOOF

      literally same. we did have food to be fair, but I would always somehow end up eating an ingredient for a recipe or cleaned the pan wrong and we had very limited food options.. the cupboards may as well have been bare aside from bananas and ramen (packs not cups.) I loved cooking though for other people, I still do, but for myself, I have noticed I hoard food a bit, like I repurchase a frequently used product prior to running out or only having one left. I sort of do that with everything. Idk if it's because of the food insecurity growing up, that combined with getting kicked out most of my teenage years, being literally homeless, sometimes not being able to eat due to no money and it being a break from school or something. I didn't do it at the time, but it's a learned instinct like a stray animal that's just been taken in. have you or anyone else reading dealt with that or anything similar?
      *edit - not talking about bingeing food but storing non perishables or like, overstocking on items. getting low on a product continuously used makes you anxious, that sort of thing. Not in a doomsday way either. I have a large shelf that should be a pantry and the regular kitchen space in a small-ish house. Everything fits except I need to reorganize my shelves and see if I have items to donate. Because of that, some things bought by the case (not on purpose all the time, some are like 50% cheaper.) Or weed, cigs, literally all facets of consumption, even content sometimes.

    Clearly my eyes were bigger than my post flu stomach.
    I’ve always been a slow eater, where some people can eat a meal in less than 5 minutes I can still be going 30 minutes later.

I actually think 99.9% of mukbang is disgusting and disturbing. But although she eats a large amount of food, she eats it normally and gracefully. If that makes sense 😂 She isn’t gross about it. Just eats like a normal person it’s just a lot of food.
    Also your video made me realize I enjoyed her videos because at the time, I was in my first trimester of pregnancy and very sick. I wasn’t able to enjoy food at all. I remember feeling a satisfaction from watching her eat this great food because I wasn’t able to, and was almost fantasizing about being able to eat good food again because I couldn’t at the time.
