Video - Uncover Mukbang: From Fighting Loneliness to Caloric Feasts!

Did you know that mukbang, the South Korean trend of eating large quantities of food on camera, has some bizarre origins? It started in the early 2010s as a way for people to combat loneliness while eating. Talk about dining with a digital twist!

Imagine the cheese dreams that followed! Mukbang has become so popular that some hosts earn thousands of dollars a month from ad revenue and donations.
