Is MUKBANG really PORN?

*Warning: PIRATE RADIO presentation*

Girl's Day Hyeri is becoming the new it-girl, as everything she does has Korea falling head over heels. A recent Nate post titled, "The top #1 girl group member Hyeri's mukbang (eating) class," has reached over 200,000 views as it examines yet another Hyeri quirk--her eating habits. The girl knows how to eat!

For those of you who don't know what mukbang is, it's a phenomenon in Korea and the word is short for 'muknun bangsong' or "eating broadcast." Koreans enjoy this trend because they like living vicariously through the person feasting on all sorts of delicious food. People who are on diets, or people who simply don't have access to all that food, can enjoy it through 'mukbang'. Those who feel lonely at night can also choose to eat dinner with online personas like Diva rather than eating alone. You can check out an example of mukbang here.


Check out these pics of Hyeri stuffing her face--opening her mouth wide and engaging in OMNOM mode--and see why she's quickly becoming Korea's favorite little piggy. 


The preparation. 


Aww, looks innocent enough. 


"JK, INTO THE TUMMY." #ripcake


"Let this be known tempura, you will not survive this. Nyam."



"What pizza party? This is all for me fools." 


Off to steal yo food. 


Hyeri, the Cookie Monster of Korea.




Man, how can a girl look this cute mid-chew?


Oh. 


Bonus! Here's a trending video of Hyeri eating jjajangmyun on a 'We Got Married'episode. Her method is certainly jjang
