Isn't
this the most interesting thing you have heard all day? This South
Korean woman Park Seo-yeon, 34, has turned an unusual online trend into
hard cash, making more than £5,600 (N1.5m) a month by just livestreaming
herself having dinner. Her plates of choice range from two medium
pizzas to 30 fried eggs and a box of crab legs, or five packets of
instant noodles.

Tens
of thousands watch Park every day as she serves up disproportionately
large meals in her Seoul flat and eats them, live, on a streaming site
where she goes by the name The Diva. She can spend as long as three
hours eating in front of the camera, and thanks to the success of her
show, Park was able to quit her day job at a consultancy firm and focus
all her energy on her daily meals on camera. The mmoney she makes are
from advertising and ‘donations’.
The
trend, known as gastronomic voyeurism, has grown in recent months in
South Korea, a country that has one of the highest increase in single
households in the world. So people living alone get a sense of community
when they watch Park eat.
