K-Pop Idol Mimi Shocks with High-Calorie Dessert Diet on YouTube Show

K-Pop idol Mimi, known for her love of desserts, has revealed her extraordinary high-calorie diet, leaving fellow singer Daesung in shock.

On Daesung's YouTube channel 'House Daesung,' a video titled 'DANGER (Sweet) Warning' was uploaded.

In the video, Oh My Girl's Mimi joins Daesung to indulge in a variety of sweet treats from convenience stores and cafes, showcasing an unusual mukbang.

Mimi shared her unique dessert philosophy, catching viewers' attention. When Daesung asked about her usual dessert intake, Mimi surprised everyone by saying, "To live like a human, I limit myself to just six cookies a day." She added, "I need to eat three ice creams as soon as I wake up to feel awake," highlighting her distinctive taste.

The video also featured the creation of a so-called 'Choco Soup' under Mimi's direction. She began by tossing an entire chocolate cake from a famous brand into a large basin, followed by various chocolate snacks, cereal, and two liters of milk. The production team estimated the dish's calorie content at around 7500kcal. Watching this, Daesung expressed genuine concern, asking if Mimi needed to visit a hospital due to excessive sugar intake. However, Mimi calmly persuaded Daesung, claiming that sugar makes her happy and improves her personality, even suggesting a daring combination of cream bread with pickled green onions, causing a stir on set.

During the mukbang, Mimi also addressed the controversy surrounding her judging criteria on the baking survival show 'Bread Master,' where she is a judge. When Daesung asked why she praises a taste but still eliminates contestants, Mimi explained, "My strict standard is whether a consumer would be satisfied with a single experience or would be willing to buy it again." She asked viewers who found her decisions puzzling to understand her perspective, while demonstrating her professional side by giving firm evaluations to products she wouldn't repurchase.

Unlike Mimi, who pursues extreme sweetness, Daesung, who usually manages his diet, tasted the 'Choco Soup' and was overwhelmed by its sweetness, providing comic relief. The two shared a common love for bread and rice cakes but displayed contrasting preferences for sweetness, creating a unique chemistry. Mimi boldly declared she would consume ten years' worth of sugar in one day, finishing her meal without hesitation. Daesung, though initially overwhelmed by Mimi's energy, gradually adapted to the new food combinations, ending the recording on a cheerful note.
