Mukbangs Are Out of Control - Misha Petrov

What this episode covers

In this video, I discuss the rise (and fall) of Mukbang Culture: how it began in South Korea and how creators like Trisha Paytas and Nikocado Avocado popularized it in the West. I also discuss why audiences became obsessed, the health risks, and the bizarre new era of overconsumption online.🌌 Commentary Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@realmishapetrov🌊 Skit Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@RealiMisha💡 Got a topic you’d like me to cover?
