Do you know mukbang? It is about the eating shows in front of the camera on the Internet. In the shows, mukbangers eat food and sometimes talk to people who watch their videos.
The eating shows started in South Korea in around 2010 and there are many viewers (观看者) from all over the world. Why did mukbang start in this country? In fact, South Korea has the culture of eating together. But nowadays, eating alone is quite usual in the country. Watching mukbang can be a way to have someone to eat with. People can chat with others when they are at home alone.
However, mukbang has its dark sides. The way mukbangers eat food in some shows isn’t healthy. These bad eating habits can bring serious health problems. What’s worse, some mukbangers prepare a lot of food but throw away much food during the show or after the show. These mukbangers waste (浪费) a lot of food.
Now, many people criticize such shows. Food waste is a serious problem around the world, and there are lots of people who still don’t have enough food to eat. Our country does a lot of things to solve the problem and asks short video platforms (平台), such as Tiktok and Kuaishou, to take action.
