This study aimed to analyze the content of mukbang YouTube videos, as well as news articles related to mukbang and the association between watching mukbang videos and health habits. We analyzed 5952 YouTube mukbang videos, 5265 news articles, and a survey of 1200 people in Korea. In this study, we confirmed that the provocative content of mukbang YouTube videos, such as overeating, was related to video popularity (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). In addition, more exposure to mukbang was associated with greater effects on dietary health due to mukbang (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). The prevalence of news articles on the negative effects of mukbang showed an increasing trend over time, while the articles on \u201cMukbang is funny\u201d were most common in all the years evaluated. To cope with public health problems such as obesity, it will be necessary to continue to investigate the content and effects of mukbang on public health.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1460458220901360","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,29]],"date-time":"2020-01-29T04:23:54Z","timestamp":1580271834000},"page":"2237-2248","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":87,"title":["The popularity of eating broadcast: Content analysis of \u201cmukbang\u201d YouTube videos, media coverage, and the health impact of \u201cmukbang\u201d on public"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"EunKyo","family":"Kang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Seoul National University Hospital, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jihye","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Seoul National University College of Medicine, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyae Hyung","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Seoul National University Hospital, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2740-7279","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Young Ho","family":"Yun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Seoul National University Hospital, Korea; Seoul National University College of Medicine, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1460458220901360","unstructured":"Wikipedia.
