After analyzing past studies done by researchers regarding things like weight, YouTube, and mukbang videos, it becomes evident that there is past research that can connect mukbang videos to the whole of the internet and society. The research done on these topics can help supplement my research in a way that allows me to make connections to mukbang videos and things like weight and comfort level with online shaming as well as Goffman’s concept of the presentation of self. Past research can be condensed into three main categories: mukbang videos as social and problematic, weight stigma, and online shaming and gender influences.
