Have you ever watched an eating show?

Eating shows became popular and can now be found on various forms of media, including YouTube and television 🍽️

In today’s post, let’s find out how Koreans call an “eating show”!

먹방 is short for ‘먹는 방송’ which means ‘eating show’.

This term became known as some internet streamers started to eat while broadcasting and eventually became a type of content.

Some experts say that the popularity of 먹방 is related to the increase in people eating alone, due to the increase in single households.
