ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Mukbang

Mukbang is a fun word that comes from Korea and is about eating a lot of food while talking to people on camera. It's like having a food party on YouTube! The person who does the mukbang records themselves eating a bunch of yummy foods like chicken wings, pizza, noodles, sushi, or even spicy food, and shares it with their viewers.

It's like being together with friends and having a big meal, but it's just one person eating all the food while the others watch and talk to them through the screen. Some people like to watch others eat because it can be satisfying and make them feel like they are sharing a meal. Plus, it's a great opportunity for people to try new foods and learn about different cultures. So, mukbang is a fun way to share food, learn about different cultures, and have fun talking to friends through the camera.
