Mukbang YouTubers are known for their impressive eating skills and always delivering mouthwatering content for viewers. It’s pretty common for fans to send them unique food and drinks to help with their content creation. But sometimes, being “too loved” can be a challenge, like what happened to Ssoyoung, a Mukbang YouTuber with over 6 million followers. Recently, she had to wrestle with a massive 10kg live octopus gifted by a fan.
In her latest video, fans got to see just how much trouble Ssoyoung had dealing with this tough challenge: taming and preparing a 10kg live octopus. At first, she was pretty freaked out since the octopus was still alive, which gives you an idea of its impressive size.
Summoning all her strength and after a long battle to overcome her fear, Ssoyoung finally managed to clean and toss the unruly octopus into a large pot to boil it. Of course, this process was tough since the octopus kept trying to jump out and wasn’t cooperating.
But the end result surprised many. The 10kg octopus was marinated in a spicy-sweet sauce, and just looking at the color made viewers drool.
Ssoyoung herself admitted that after cooking and tasting a whole octopus leg with a glass of soju, the dish was absolutely amazing, even if the prep and struggle were pretty intense. In the comments, many fans praised her skills and determination. Some even said they would faint just seeing the octopus, let alone cooking it like she did.
