Abstract
Mukbang, which has established itself as a popular content, is now enjoying a sensational popularity not only in Korea but also around the world. This study investigated the effects of mukbang on consumers' vicarious satisfaction and desire increase in different emotional aspects. In addition, we analyzed how the positive and negative emotions of consumers affect the vicarious satisfaction and desire increase of mukbang. According to this purpose, 120 participants in their 20s and 30s who had experienced watching mukbang were encouraged to watch mukbang videos after inducing positive, negative, and neutral emotions, and the effects of vicarious satisfaction and increased desire depending on emotions were examined. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that vicarious satisfaction through mukbang was high in positive emotional states, and desire through mukbang was high in negative emotional states. This study has a theoretical contribution that empirically investigates the different effects of mukbang according to positive and negative emotions, and is expected to help derive marketing measures using consumer emotional states that have not been received enough attention in using mukbang as a marketing tool.
