The Phenomenon of South Korea’s 'Big Stomach Queen'
At just 28 years old, Tzuyang has carved a niche for herself as the “Big Stomach Queen” in South Korea’s vibrant mukbang scene. Standing 1.61 metres tall and weighing around 50 kilograms, she astonishes millions by consuming an astonishing 30,000 calories daily—almost 15 times the intake of an average woman.
What truly sets her apart is not just the sheer volume of food, but how her body processes it. Recently, medical evaluations have shed light on the biology behind her remarkable eating prowess.
A Stomach Built for the Challenge
Contrary to common assumptions that such excess consumption would inevitably harm her health, doctors report that Tzuyang’s digestive system is unusually robust. Her stomach capacity is approximately 40% larger than average, even surpassing many adult men’s stomachs, enabling her to manage prodigious food quantities without typical discomfort.
Health examinations revealed:
- Stable blood sugar levels
- A well-functioning, healthy digestive tract
- A colon free from polyps or other abnormalities
- Proper kidney function
- Efficient metabolic response to her food intake
One physician likened her appetite and digestion to that of a “food vacuum cleaner,” suggesting that her unusually large stomach triggers hunger rapidly and continuously.
Public Reaction to Her Health Report
Fans and followers have expressed a mix of amazement and relief upon hearing that despite her extreme diet, Tzuyang remains in good health. Comments like “It’s reassuring to know she’s healthy since I love watching her eat” show the genuine concern behind the audience’s fascination.
A Glimpse into Tzuyang’s Daily Feasts
Her online presence is built around spectacular eating challenges and celebrations of global cuisine. Some of her most jaw-dropping eating records include:
- Consuming 101 plates of sushi in one sitting
- Downing 10 cups of extra-spicy chicken ramen in under seven minutes
- Devouring 12 kilograms of fist-sized oysters
- Polishing off a massive meal consisting of a 3-kilogram steak, pasta, curry, mashed potatoes, and three desserts
Despite these gargantuan meals, Tzuyang sustains a slender figure. She attributes this partly to having multiple bowel movements—three to four daily—although she mentions exercising only rarely.
More Than Just Eating: A Tribute to Food Culture
Beyond the spectacle, Tzuyang embraces food as a cultural experience. Her passion extends to entrepreneurship, having launched her own restaurant in Korea where she shares her love for diverse cuisines.
Tzuyang’s story challenges conventional views of appetite and metabolism, offering a compelling glimpse into the interplay of biology, culture, and digital entertainment.
