Mukbang YouTubers are often known for their impressive eating abilities, while also providing a very appetizing experience for viewers. Therefore, it’s quite normal for them to frequently receive gifts of unique food and drink items from viewers and fans to help with their content creation. However, sometimes being overly “appreciated” can be a bit much, as in the case of Ssoyoung – a Mukbang YouTuber with over 6 million followers. Recently, she had to truly wrestle with a 10kg octopus – a gift from a fan.
In her latest video, Ssoyoung’s fans got to witness how much she struggled when facing an overwhelming challenge: taming and cooking a 10kg live octopus. At first, she appeared quite scared as it was a living octopus, and it’s easy to imagine the impressive size it had.
Gathering all her strength, it took a long time for Ssoyoung to overcome her fear and successfully clean and toss this unruly octopus into a large pot to boil it. Of course, this process was quite arduous as the octopus frequently jumped out and was uncooperative.
However, the result afterward left many people astonished as the 10kg octopus was marinated with sweet and spicy sauce, and just looking at the colors afterward made many viewers drool.
Ssoyoung herself, after preparing an entire octopus leg and sipping it with a glass of soju, had to admit that the dish was indeed fantastic, even though the preparation and struggle involved were somewhat tough. In the comments section, many fans expressed their admiration for Ssoyoung’s skills and determination. Some even said that just seeing this octopus was enough to make them faint, let alone cooking it like this YouTuber did.
