Mukbang YouTuber Tzuyang Embarks on First Fixed Variety Show 'Where to Pop'

Tzuyang, a mukbang YouTuber with 12 million subscribers, has revealed the reasons behind her decision to take on her first fixed role in a variety show, titled 'Where to Pop'.

At the production presentation for the new ENA variety program held on the morning of the 19th at the Grand Ballroom of the Stanford Hotel Seoul in Mapo-gu, Seoul, Tzuyang shared her feelings about joining the show. She explained her venture into fixed variety programming after 7 years of focusing on YouTube content. "I was primarily active on YouTube when the PD contacted me," she said. "I initially went just to show my face and say hello out of politeness, but they spoke to me so comfortably that I decided to appear without any pressure."

Tzuyang had previously hesitated about variety shows due to the pressure of needing to be witty and the concern of potentially being a burden. However, she stated, "The production team's reassurance that 'it's okay if you're not funny' gave me great strength to decide to join."

'Where to Pop,' co-produced by ENA, NXT, and Comedy TV, is a new variety show that embarks on a relay of discovering authentic restaurants recommended solely by restaurant owners themselves, with no pre-arranged lists or scripts. The program promises a 100% trusted culinary journey. Its first broadcast is scheduled for the 21st at 7:50 PM.

Tzuyang is renowned for her impressive eating capabilities, often described as 'food porn' by fans. Her genuine and entertaining personality has garnered a large and loyal following. Beyond her online career, Tzuyang actively engages in social contribution activities, spreading positive influence.
