Mukbang tells the story of Kim Delorme, a young woman raised on a diet of video games, early 2000s internet videos, and fads. She is completely uninterested in the world beyond her computer screen.
As a young youtuber she discovers mukbangs, a voyeuristic world where people eat and overeat in front of cameras. Kim decides to throw herself into the ring, and challenges the reigning queen, Misha Faïtas. But a horrifying incident halts her ascension and creates a shock wave that affects everyone in her life. Mukbang is a grimy, shocking, surreal and darkly funny dive into our relationships with food, self-image, and intimacy in the digital age.
True to its subject matter, Mukbang is sprinkled with QR codes throughout the story, each leading to an image, reference or video that enhances and adds context to the narrative.
