Mukbang shows, literally ‘eating broadcasts’ in Korean, show young performers filming themselves while consuming vast quantities of food. As they live stream these videos over the Internet, they interact with their audience and provide a commentary on their dishes. These broadcasts have been very popular in South Korea since the 2000s. The selected extracts show two performers: Shoogi, who consumes king crabs and sashimis, and Banzz, who gobbles up three birthday cakes.
