Originating in South Korea, mukbang videos quickly went viral worldwide and became a major content trend for YouTubers. If you search “mukbang” on YouTube, you’ll find creators from Asia to Europe making this kind of content. However, long-term unhealthy eating has led one YouTuber to face some very serious consequences.
The focus here is Nikocado Avocado, a pioneer of the mukbang trend in the West. This YouTuber has been making mukbang videos for six years and has 2.61 million subscribers on his main channel. His content mainly features him eating huge amounts of fast food on camera.
The result of consuming so much fast food for so long is rapid weight gain and severe health decline. He even had to use a ventilator to support his breathing but kept making mukbang videos.
Many other YouTubers criticized Nikocado for “trading his health for views.” One of his friends even warned that if he keeps eating unhealthily, he might only have a few years left to live. Despite these warnings, Nikocado hasn’t stopped making mukbang content, leaving fans and friends deeply worried.
The best advice for this YouTuber is to try to maintain a healthier diet. With 2.61 million subscribers, he’s famous enough to create any content he wants and still get views. It would be a real shame for fans if he only has a few years left because of mukbang videos.
