== Mukbang ==


Muk-bang or mukbang (Korean: 먹방, lit. "eating broadcast") is a type of performance in which someone eats large quantities of food, while interacting with their audience, for apparent entertainment value. Usually done through a webcast, muk-bang became popular in South Korea in the late 2000s. - according to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muk-bang Wikipedia].
When you watch a Mukbang video you see a person (mostly little Korean girls) unpacking and eating the food. This can take for hours sometimes. Meanwhile the person explains what she is eating and how she likes it. At the sometime the person is in contact with an audience. Through a lifestream the audience can ask questions and talk to the person who is eating. There are several hypotheses why Mukbang is popular. One could is the rise of one-person households in Korea and by watching people eat it looks like you are eating (or at least socializing) with someone else.
Some Mukbang broadcasters are:
#Joon Ha Park (BJ-Sof)
#Ji Hwan Choi (BJ-Biryong)
#Ji Hyun Kwon (BJ-Wang Joo)
#Hanna Choi (BJ-Hanna)
