Mukbang creator Tzuyang has revealed that her extraordinary eating capacity is a genetic trait inherited from her grandmother.

On the 'Lee Young-ja TV' YouTube channel, a video titled 'Tzuyang's Soul Food, Cooked in Lee Young-ja's Cauldron!' was uploaded on the 7th. During the video, Tzuyang shared a heartwarming story about the handmade noodle soup (sujebi) her grandmother used to make when she lived with her for half a year in middle school.

Tzuyang recalled, "I lived at my grandmother's house for half a year when I was in the first year of middle school. My grandmother had a very generous hand and would always cook a huge pot of food." She particularly mentioned, "We ate sujebi almost every three days." The grandmother would prepare about 12 servings at a time, filled with ingredients like potatoes, zucchini, and chives, using a rich anchovy broth.

When host Lee Young-ja asked if her enlarged stomach was due to her grandmother, Tzuyang confessed, "I only learned a few days ago from my father that my grandmother ate a lot when she was young." Lee Young-ja exclaimed in admiration, "You only just found out? Your genes? It was your grandmother, not your parents?"

Tzuyang is a popular South Korean mukbang YouTuber known for her immense appetite and engaging eating broadcasts. The stage name 'Tzuyang' originated from a nickname given by her fans. She brings joy to a global audience through her entertaining videos of consuming various dishes.
