This whimsical editorial spread illustrates the eccentric face of the Mukbang; a popular trend in which content creators eat a delicious meal for the viewing-pleasure of an online audience. In addition to its original purpose of sharing companionship over a hot meal, the driving direction of this trend is to provide satisfying visual and auditory stimulation for the viewers.

Bright, neon colors illustrated in a layered and pop-painterly style serves as visual personification for the A.S.M.R. component of Mukbang videos. Tying in popular food choices and the infamous, exaggerated eating style of the trend, the dynamic illustration aids as both a contrasting and binding agent to the overall design. Bold, black slabs in both the typography and grid layout of the article pay respect to the design and style of the written Korean language, the country in which Mukbang originated in the early 2010's.

Highly graphic, this editorial design fully encapsulates the bizarre and misunderstood eating sensation of the Mukbang. A trend that is often stigmatized is now playfully explored and explained under a new light, and serves as a guide for prospect Mukbanger's looking to start a creative online career.
