"Sushi-Eating Perfect Day" Jung Yong-jin Continues Daily Seafood Mukbang

Vice Chairman Jung Uploads Consecutively After Contaminated Water Discharge

Jung Yong-jin, Vice Chairman of Shinsegae Group, has been continuously enjoying seafood mukbang since the discharge of contaminated water from Japan's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant on the 24th of last month. He has been posting photos of seafood one after another on Instagram. This move has attracted even more attention as it comes at a time when domestic seafood consumption has been shrinking following the contaminated water discharge.
