Mukbang Creator Tzuyang Serves Up Epic Eating and 15-Minute Cooking Showdown on 'Please Take Care of the Refrigerator'
Mukbang sensation Tzuyang is set to become the talk of the town with her appearance on JTBC's 'Please Take Care of the Refrigerator'.
In the episode airing on the 23rd, Tzuyang's refrigerator, stocked with massive quantities of ingredients, will be the stage for a thrilling 15-minute cooking battle. The sheer volume of food is a testament to her status as a creator with over 3.4 billion cumulative views.
The first challenge revolves around creating a noodle dish that will earn '12.7 million subscribers' likes.' Chef Kim Poong, known for his unconventional menus like 'Goryeon's Mudfish' and 'Fried Silkworm Pupae,' confidently declared, 'Views are my specialty.' Facing him is Kwon Sung-jun, who presented himself as a disciple of Chef Jeong Ho-young, a long-time regular at his restaurant, promising a tough competition in noodle cuisine.
A major highlight of this match is the 'large-volume cooking' aspect. To accommodate Tzuyang, a renowned big eater whose meals can last up to six hours, Kim Poong brought out an enormous pot. Kwon Sung-jun countered with a 'bottomless noodle refill' strategy, setting the stage for an intense culinary duel. Within the tight 15-minute limit, both chefs enlisted the help of 'Unichef' to speed up ingredient preparation, transforming the studio into a battlefield. Observing the avalanche of food, MC Ahn Jung-hwan quipped, 'Are we having a company dinner today?', fueling anticipation for the final dishes.
The second segment features a face-off between 'Refrigerator Kid President' Son Jong-won and Sam Kim. Sam Kim, having suffered two consecutive losses, revealed, 'I received a handwritten letter from an elementary school student asking me to defeat Chef Son Jong-won,' showing his determination. Son Jong-won responded by raising the stakes, stating, 'Parents at my restaurant tell me their kids cry when I lose,' and vowed, 'I won't let the eyes of elementary school students across the country well up with tears.'
Meanwhile, Tzuyang's explosive mukbang performance proved her legendary appetite, leaving the studio in awe. When she rapidly devoured food using a ladle instead of a spoon, MC Kim Sung-joo exclaimed, 'Are you even chewing?' and Yoon Nam-no commented, 'She's like a vacuum cleaner.' The participants couldn't help but marvel, 'This is why we watch mukbang,' as she emptied bowls in seconds and downed a soda in just 10 seconds, truly showcasing the secret to her popularity.
Even after the filming concluded, Tzuyang remained, asking, 'Could I have a little more broth?', continuing her meal and astonishing everyone present. The incredible eating display by Tzuyang, a testament to her 12.7 million subscriber status, can be seen on JTBC's 'Please Take Care of the Refrigerator' today, the 23rd, at 9 PM.
Netizens who watched the broadcast reacted with intense interest, leaving comments such as 'Tzuyang's mukbang is legendary,' 'Is she really eating with a ladle? Definitely a rice thief,' and 'I'm looking forward to the chefs' cooking, but even more to Tzuyang's mukbang.'
