This 14-Year-Old Teenager Makes Up

To £1,000 Per Night By Simply

Eating Fast Food On Webcam

This 14-year-old basically has a job that basically all
foodies will kill for. Kim Sung-jin from Seol makes upto
£1,000 an evening by eating fried chicken, delivery pizza or
Chinese food, while being watched by thousands of his fans
via a live video feed.

                He is better known as ‘Patoo’, and is one of the youngest
broadcasters on Afreeca TV, an app for live-broadcasting
video online that was launched in 2006.
The kid has been streaming since he was about 11 and
sometimes invites his friends on the show to eat with him.
And then there are times when he wears a blonde wig and
dresses as a woman for fun while eating junk food, of
course. His most successful episode till date has made him
an unbelievable £1,100. That’s actually literally what he
does in all seriousness.

This sort of content for live audiences in Korea is

apparently quite predominant. In fact Afreeca TV, which has
eight million unique monthly visitors, has become an
important part of social life for Korean teenagers.
Shows like Kim's are known as Meok Bang, a mash-up
Korean word of broadcast and eating. They are the most
popular and profitable among some 5,000 live shows that
are aired live on Afreeca TV.
Moreover, this dude also never seems to put on any weight
no matter how much he eats. Guess, it’s safe to say that
one will never fully understand the culture of South Korea!
