Mukbang is a field that is widely viewed on social platforms such as YouTube and TikTok. Mukbang is a combination of the words "to eat" and "to broadcast" in Korean, bangsong. Mukbang is a form of eating and drinking while recording (it can be pre-recorded and then broadcast or recorded live). People who work in Mukbang are called Broadcast Jockeys (abbreviated as BJ). This BJ eats while chatting, interacting and communicating with viewers.

Hoang Lam Foodie - the owner of a Tiktok channel with 3.4 million followers and a Youtube channel with nearly half a million followers, has just shared the downsides of this job. She said that because the content of mukbang clips is based on eating and the variety of food, tiktokers often encounter health problems.
"Continuously eating a large amount of food to film mukbang clips made my body react. I gained weight quite quickly. Many times I felt bloated, and even looking at food made me scared." During the time she was involved in this job, Hoang Lam got sick and had to see a doctor. " When I felt unwell, I would stop eating mukbang, switch to reviewing or eating healthier foods. At the same time, I exercised to regulate my body."

The female tiktoker also said that at first when she pursued this job, her family had no opinion. But after seeing their daughter having some health problems, her parents were quite worried. She had to convince her parents a lot, and at the same time had to have a specific plan to be able to continue working as a content creator on social networks while ensuring her health.
