We need to talk about Mukbang 먹방 ...

⚠️ WARNING: Extreme Food Content⚠️

From Zach Choi, to Eat With Boki, Nikocado Avocado, and Trisha Paytas - Mukbang and ASMR food content is extremely popular on Youtube. This video aims to explain why we love watching other people eat so much - as well as the rise and popularity of food content in general.

As we'll learn, food is an incredibly potent visual stimuli. And just looking at it - even through a screen can be enough to make us hungry - or even 'satisfy' us, as if we had eaten ourselves.

We'll start at the beginning. How food content became so prevalent through Instagram, the Food Network and our current Foodie culture. How Mukbang Started in South Korea - and then made its way to America.
