Behind the Influence

Hyunee - On the Mukbang Phenomenon, Eating on Youtube for a Living, and Her HyuneeBee Community

If you have never heard of Mukbang, you're about to get a crash course. While Mukbang orginally beame popular in Korea, millions of people worldwide are now watching these "eating shows." The concept sounds simple: Mukbangers eat food on camera...and people watch (and listen). But, Hyunee, a top Mukbanger here in the US, will tell you - there is a lot more to Mukbang than that. In this episode, Hyunee shares how she discovered Mukbang, how she turned making Youtube videos for her 1.54 million "HyuneeBees" into a full-time career, and how she manages to stay healthy while creating content. We got real about ignoring judgment from others, being true to yourself, and the importance of community.
