Mukbang Star Tzuyang's Epic Eating Day: From 1,000 Servings of Tteokbokki to a Movie Theater Feast

Renowned mukbang creator Tzuyang, who reportedly earns around 100 million won (approximately $84,000) monthly, showcased her extraordinary eating habits on the latest episode of MBC's variety show 'The Manager' (Episode 370), aired on the 25th.

Tzuyang, who boasts 12.6 million YouTube subscribers, revealed that her subscriber count increased by 400,000 in just three months since her last appearance on the show, much to the studio's surprise. She expressed her delight over the positive response and significant rise in viewership. Setting an alarm for restaurant opening times, Tzuyang ordered three large servings of tteokbokki for breakfast. While waiting for her delivery, she snacked on chips and fish cake soup to stave off hunger. Once the food arrived, she devoured the tteokbokki, tantalizing viewers with her appetite.

Her manager, Oh Subin, shocked the commentators by revealing that Tzuyang had consumed 1,000 servings of tteokbokki at a provincial event the previous day and was still eating it for breakfast. Her eating spree didn't stop there; she continued to order fruits and 15 types of bread, showcasing her impressive appetite.

Tzuyang has also ventured into the fashion industry, participating in a clothing photoshoot. She explained her desire to create her own clothing line due to the frequent stretching or staining of clothes during mukbangs. She plans to donate a portion of the sales proceeds, hinting at her positive influence. During the shoot, Tzuyang humorously couldn't resist eating the food in front of her.

Tzuyang and her manager visited a movie theater, where she astonished the commentators by ordering 29 different snacks, including popcorn, hot dogs, and drinks, from the kiosk. Her manager, seemingly accustomed to this, packed the food into a bag. Tzuyang also shared her favorite menu items from various theaters, displaying her food expertise.

Spending approximately 150,000 won (around $126) on snacks, Tzuyang began eating some before the movie started and continued to order more during the film, maintaining her endless mukbang. Even during shocking scenes in the movie, she calmly continued eating, providing viewers with a day in her life that was more cinematic than the film itself.
