意味

Mukbang — an eating broadcast where someone eats large amounts of food on camera, originating from Korean internet culture.

モッパン comes from the Korean 먹방 (meokbang, eating broadcast) and describes video content where creators eat impressive amounts of food on camera. The genre is massive on YouTube in Japan, with creators consuming entire restaurant menus, attempting spicy challenges, or simply eating aesthetically. Japanese モッパン often emphasizes ASMR elements — the sounds of crunching, slurping, and chewing.
