  • One of the most important current features of food related industry is the growth of food delivery service. Another notable food related culture is, with the advent of Youtube, the popularity of Mukbang, which refers to content that records eating. Based on these background, this study intended to focus on two things. First, we tried to see the impact of Youtube Mukbang and the sentiments of Mukbang comments on the number of related food deliveries. Next, we tried to set up the predictive modeling of chicken delivery order with machine learning method. We used Youtube Mukbang comments data as well as weather related data as main independent variables. The dependent variable used in this study is the number of delivery order of fried chicken. The period of data used in this study is from June 3, 2015 to September 30, 2019, and a total of 1,580 data were used. For the predictive modeling, we used machine learning methods such as linear regression, ridge, lasso, random forest, and gradient boost. We found that the sentiment of Youtube Mukbang and comments have impacts on the number of delivery orders. The prediction model with Mukban data we set up in this study had better performances than the existing models without Mukbang data. We also tried to suggest managerial implications to the food delivery service industry.

  • This study examines the motivation for using YouTube 'mukbang' content by integrating the use and satisfaction approach and the technology acceptance model, and identified the determinants that affect the continuous use intention. A survey was conducted on 358 YouTube 'mukbang' content users, and major results were derived through exploratory/confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis using the SPSS 21.0 program and the AMOS 21.0 program. The main results are presented as follows. First, information seeking motive, stress relief motive, and time spending motive had a positive effect on perceived usefulness, and information seeking motive and time spending motive had a positive effect on perceived ease of use. Second, information seeking motivation, stress relief motivation, and time spending motivate had a positive effect on perceived enjoyment and perceived novelty. Third, perceived enjoyment did not have a significant effect on perceived usefulness. Fourth, both perceived enjoyment and perceived novelty had a positive effect on continuous use intention. Fifth, perceived ease of use had a positive effect on perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness had a positive effect on continuous use intention. This study will have academic significance in that it elaborates a model that can identify the continuous use of YouTube 'mukbang' content by integrating the uses and gratifications approach, and technology acceptance model. Future follow-up studies should contribute to the refinement of models related to the determinants of the intention to continue using YouTube's 'mukbang' content through an attempt to integrate various models.

  • There has been an increase in the viewing of YouTube content among children and adolescents. This, coupled with the popularity of live-streamed video content such as mukbang, where viewers watch the host eat, has raised concerns about media addiction and the indiscriminate imitation of eating behavior. Therefore, there is a need for guidance on the appropriate behavior for viewing YouTube food content to promote healthy eating habits among children. In this study, we aimed to compare the patterns of the main caregivers and their children while viewing media and investigate the impact of viewing YouTube food content on the physical and mental health of the children. The findings suggest that active YouTube food content viewing by the main caregivers may reduce imitative behaviors due to passive media consumption by their children. This study provides valuable insights by comparing and analyzing the YouTube content viewing of the main caregivers and their children. The results can be used as a basis for the development of lifestyle-centered guidelines for children. However, it is important to note that this study was conducted during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic when there was a significant increase in the use of media, which is limitation of the study.
