"Mukbang," also known as "eating broadcast" is no longer a new trend in Korea.

Mukbang is a combination of the words "muk-da," meaning "eat" in Korean, and "bang-song," meaning "broadcast."

A broadcaster nicknamed "Thief Cat" has streamed non-stop 24-hour pictures of stray cats being fed. The pictures were on Popcon TV, a real-time video streaming website.

About 1,000 people gathered to watch the cats eating healthy treats.

The broadcaster prepared the food, which included including various types of raw fish such as flatfish and rockfish.
