mukbang

Filmed binge eating

Mukbang is an online video format where someone eats large quantities of food while talking to the camera.

The genre originated in South Korea, where the word combines terms for eating and broadcast.

Viewers watch for the sounds of eating, the spectacle of consumption, or companionship during their own meals: I put on a mukbang while I eat dinner alone.
