The once popular 'mukbang' has been put on hold, as YouTube tightened regulations on binge eating and eating disorder-related content, putting 'mukbang YouTubers' monetization on high alert. YouTube targeting mukbang YouTubers YouTubers are confused as the actual sanctions are enforced, as even mukbangs have ambiguous standards depending on how food consumption is shown and whether they earn revenue, and the burden of having to check past content individually for violations is also significant. Regarding this, YouTube claims it is a necessary measure to protect vulnerable viewers such as teenagers, but mukbang YouTubers have been hosting broadcasts where they eat enormous amounts of food, and the enormous income they earn is said to be just as enormous as the amount they eat. Tzuyang once revealed on a broadcast, "I think I earn about a year's salary every month compared to peers," and she In a 2020 broadcast, she revealed her income, saying, "When I earn a lot, I can earn between 40 million and 80 million won a month." Now that she has become a YouTuber with 13 million subscribers, Tzuyang's income appears to be much higher, and considering subscribers, views, and sponsoring companies, the industry estimates her monthly income to be in the hundreds of millions of won. Soyoung, a mukbang YouTuber with 11 million subscribers, said on a broadcast, "My monthly income from mukbang is more than what I earned as an actress over 14 years," and added, "My husband I paid off 900 million won in debt," mentioning her enormous earnings. But what !! he said, from now on, eating too much will be a problem!! and binge eating videos will be deleted!!!!!!
