Summary

He calls mukbang repetitive, boring, and disgusting, especially amplified chewing, while speculating audiences seek appetite control or virtual companionship. He admits jealousy of creators gaining millions of views from identical meals, versus roughly 14,000 views for his drawings. Despite condemning mukbang, he promotes Daniel Lord ASMR’s spicy-chicken and rice-ball videos, then films preparing a margherita pizza.
