[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Seulgi Kim] MBC's 'My Little Television V2' ('Maritel') mukbang YouTuber Jjuyang talked about how she started doing mukbang.


On the 20th broadcast of MBC's 'Maritel', Jjuyang showcased a jjajangmyeon mukbang on Kim Gura & Jang Youngran's segment.


When Kim Gura asked about the reason she started mukbang, Jjuyang said, "I used to eat a lot, but when I was a college student, I couldn't afford my food expenses, so my friends recommended I debut as a mukbang creator."


Then Kim Gura asked, "What's the maximum number of bowls of jjajangmyeon you've eaten?" Jjuyang replied, "It's not my main dish, so the maximum is 7 bowls. I can't eat that much."


Jjuyang also revealed the reason she discovered her talent for eating a lot, saying, "When I was in elementary school, I went to my grandmother's house, and the amount of food she prepared for one meal was large. But I ate it all."



Born in 1997, Jjuyang is a big eater mukbang YouTuber with 1.84 million subscribers. Last year, she won the Rookie Award in the entertainment category at the 27th 'Korea Culture and Entertainment Awards.' She has also appeared in commercials for Namyang French Cafe Roastery and on live broadcasts such as Live Today.
