9 Top Mukbang Youtubers to Follow: the Most Entertaining Channels of the Viral Korean Trend - Yp

One of the most popular internet video trends around is one that we’re all a huge fan of – eating. 

Mukbang (muhk-bahng) is a Korean term that literally translates to “eating broadcasts”. People known as mukbangers eat large amounts of food in front of a camera that’s streaming to the internet, all the while interacting with their viewers. It was first popularised in Korea in 2010 among online streaming channels such as AfreecaTV. These streams have since spread onto sites like YouTube. 

To those intrigued but unfamiliar with the phenomenon, we’ve found the top nine mukbangers on YouTube who –  quite simply – live to eat.

Banzz 

One of the pioneers, Banzz is about as close to being the OG Korean mukbanger as you can get. He is famous for being able to eat massive amounts of food while retaining his impressive physique. Although Banzz speaks Korean in his videos, many are subbed into different languages (including English), making him a favourite for viewers all around the world.
