Despite indulging in hearty meals and drinks, Tzuyang surprises many with her petite and adorable figure. The female YouTuber reveals her weight to be around 40-50 kg, leaving others amazed and envious.
Tzuyang, whose real name is Park Jeong Hyeon, was born in 1996 and is one of the top mukbang YouTubers in South Korea, with over 8.5 million subscribers.
Every video uploaded by Tzuyang on her YouTube channel attracts from hundreds of thousands to even millions, and sometimes tens of millions of views. She astonishes her audience with her unlimited eating capacity. The amount of food she consumes in each video is multiple times that of an average person. She once finished 10 kg of grilled beef intestines and only stopped because the restaurant ran out of stock. She's known as the healthiest eater in South Korea.
Despite indulging in hearty meals and drinks, Tzuyang is not overweight. On the contrary, she has a petite and adorable figure.
On comedian Park Myung Soo's radio show on KBS CoolFM on July 13, Tzuyang revealed her weight is consistently around 40 kg, with a slight increase currently, but not due to eating more.
'I used to weigh 47 kg, but I've gained weight. Now I weigh around 50 kg because I work out a lot. I started going to the gym 3 months ago,' she said.
MC Park Myung Soo expressed surprise upon learning that she gained 3 kg because she looks slender. This means Tzuyang is heavier due to muscle gain.
When asked if she decided to exercise due to health issues, Tzuyang denied it. The beauty affirmed that her health is completely normal.
Regarding what she'll have for lunch after the radio show, Tzuyang answered she hasn't had breakfast and plans to have pork ribs. Despite emphasizing that she doesn't eat much on regular days, Tzuyang still shocked the MC by revealing that the basic amount for her is 3 portions of pork ribs. Furthermore, she admitted that amount is just like an appetizer, not enough to fill her stomach.
Tzuyang recalls noticing her larger appetite compared to her classmates when she was in middle school.
'When I was in middle school, I lived with my grandmother for a short time. She cooked very large portions, and I finished everything she cooked for me. While my friends ate one or two bags of fries, I ate 6-7 bags. That's when I realized I eat a lot,' Tzuyang said.
At the age of 20, unable to afford large meals, Tzuyang often visited buffet restaurants to indulge in food. However, after feeling guilty towards the restaurant owners for eating so much, she never returned to those places again.
Turning an unusual circumstance into an advantage, Tzuyang chose the path of a mukbang YouTuber in November 2019. Currently, she is a leading figure in the industry, even earning advertising fees equivalent to A-list celebrities.
In early 2023, Money Today, a South Korean ramen company, revealed that the cost for a 15-minute video on Tzuyang's YouTube channel is estimated at 100 million won (over 78,000 USD).
Also in the same year, Tzuyang used her substantial income from eating to buy her parents a new house and car.
