Ever since Korea's mukbang craze started up a few years ago, mukbang has not only taken over web broadcasts; it's everywhere! These days, mukbang is a central part of TV broadcasts - idols do mukbang, actors and actresses eat in their dramas, even on the news, reporters share news about mukbang!
Now that mukbang has become recognized as its own genre of entertainment, AfreecaTV BJs have also moved on to YouTube to begin catering to fans outside of the initial "live broadcast" setting. So who are the top mukbang BJs gaining popularity on YouTube right now?
9. Haetnim
Very descriptive with taste, tends to have a frowny-type expression when eating. Likes to add surprise, unlisted items to the menu (i.e. pulling out 3 bowls of ramen while doing ice cream mukbang).
8. Dorothy
Known for noodle-mukbang + spicy capsaicin mukbang. Likes to stuff her mouth to the brim with food, then chew a lot before swallowing.
7. Fran
Famous for pastry, bread, cake, dessert mukbangs. Not too talkative during her mukbangs, usually uses one gloved-hand or both gloved-hands to eat with her fingers. Eats a lot of food with an unchanging, blank expression.
6. ASMR Suna
As her name suggests, Suna's mukbang focuses on ASMR - little to no talking, video content focusses on chewing sounds. With main dish foods, she also cooks them herself before the mukbang and includes a fast-forwarded cooking process. Also creates other content including beauty, miscellaneous ASMR, etc.
