With the rise of online communities and live streaming platforms recently, many Mukbang YouTubers have emerged. Basically, this content isn’t hard to create since all you do is eat on camera, making thousands of viewers feel like they’re enjoying the food too. But while it seems simple, the negative health effects can’t be ignored, as shown by Wang Tongtong, a YouTuber who’s been making waves online lately.
She looks older than her age, but Wang Tongtong is actually just 20 years old, standing 1.6 meters tall and weighing only 40 kilograms. This raises questions since she eats huge amounts in her Mukbang videos, yet stays so light. Wang explains this with a somewhat shaky reason: genetics. She says her family members are all naturally thin, no matter how much they eat. She even went to the hospital for digestive tests, which all came back normal. Wang admits she’s always hungry and eats a wide variety of foods. That’s why her livestream channel quickly gained over 4 million followers.
However, rumors have swirled around her. Many viewers noticed that Wang sometimes leaves the table mid-stream, and some even heard sounds that seemed like vomiting. This led to speculation that she might be throwing up the food to keep eating more on camera. Some pointed out that her teeth looked unusually shiny after she left the livestream seat, which they took as proof of cheating.
To address these rumors, Wang even increased her food intake during a livestream. But just minutes after starting, she suddenly slowed down, her face turning pale. Though she tried to keep eating, she couldn’t hold on. As she was about to stand up, she fainted live on stream, shocking viewers. Thankfully, nothing serious happened.
But this incident doesn’t seem to have stopped Wang. Recently, she returned to streaming Mukbang again. In her latest stream, she even spent three hours eating buffet, which earned her a lot of respect from the online community.
