BTS' Jin is periodically running a mukbang titled “Eat Jin” on V app.

A mukbang is a broadcast in which the host devours food in front of the viewers. The word is a new coinage combining the Korean verb for 'eat,' which is mukda, and the noun for 'broadcast,' which is bangsong.

Jin on Saturday aired another edition of his famous “Eat Jin” mukbang past 10 p.m.

Jin ate a platter of steak and salad inside his Japanese hotel room in Osaka. Side dishes were kimchi fried rice and udon.

“You know we had a concert today? I’m so hungry after the performance,” Jin said.

BTS is holding a weekend concert at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan.

Six minutes into the live broadcast, over 250,000 people tuned in to watch Jin slurp noodles.

Naver’s real-time broadcasting app V allows fans to interact with their favorite K-pop stars through live broadcasts. The app is available for Android and iOS. For more information, visit http://www.vlive.tv.
