The story

What this was

A Korean format — 먹방, eating broadcast — where a host eats a large meal while talking to viewers. Exported worldwide as one of the clearest cases of a platform-native genre invented outside the Anglophone internet.

It first appeared in 2010, during the social era.

Behind the record

Where it came from

There is no original to identify: this spread through many separate posts at once rather than from a first one. ViralWorld holds no copy of it either — what it was, when it spread and what people called it is the record.

Nothing here is claimed to be the first version of this, because research established there was not one — it appeared in many places at once.

Not established. This index only names a creator where the evidence supports it.
