A mukbang (UK: MUK-bang, US: MUK-bahng; Korean: 먹방; pronounced [mʌk̚p͈aŋ] ; lit. 'eating broadcast') is an online broadcast in which a host consumes food (from popular fast-food restaurants or home-prepared dishes) while interacting with the audience or providing commentary. The genre became popular in South Korea in the early 2010s, and has become a global trend since the mid-2010s. Varieties of foods ranging from pizza to noodles are consumed in front of a camera. The purpose of mukbang is also sometimes educational, introducing viewers to regional specialties or gourmet spots.
