[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Joo-hee] Singer Taei showcased a mukbang of eating 21 donuts after two years of dieting.

On the 24th, MBC Every1's 'Video Star' aired a special episode titled 'Great! Special: I Eat the Most,' featuring Don Spike, Taei, Lee Won-il, Sang Hae-gi, Suhyang, and Pume.

Park Na-rae said, "After analyzing big data, we found that the phrase Taei said most often in interviews was 'I'm really a pig,'" and asked, "Did you realize something new about yourself during the interviews, or what happened?"

Appearing on 'Video Star' for the fourth time, Taei said, "If it's the fourth time, there's no need for an interview, but it lasted two hours," adding, "While talking, I kept feeling like I was such a pig. It's not self-deprecation about my appearance, but about my appetite and love for food. These feelings are so intense. My family jokes that I have pig genes, and I think I really am a pig," he explained.

When Park Na-rae asked, "You're currently dieting, but can you eat on today's show?" Taei replied, "I've been dieting for two years. I'll just eat diet-friendly meals."

However, shortly after, while competing with Sang Hae-gi in a donut-eating challenge, Taei exclaimed, "I'm eating donuts for the first time in two years, and they taste so good," as he ate 21 donuts.

Taei said, "This is so great. I really must be a pig. Earlier, I almost collapsed while eating ramen, and I felt better while making a burger, but eating donuts was a mistake," causing laughter.
