The latest video from popular mukbang YouTuber Tzuyang has taken the internet by storm.

On January 11, Tzuyang uploaded a video titled “Review of the MBC Entertainment Awards After Fasting Since the Night Before” on her YouTube channel, Tzuyang Bak Garden.

Tzuyang recently attracted attention for winning the Popularity Award at the 2025 MBC Entertainment Awards, a topic she addressed in her latest video. “I genuinely didn’t expect anything. I was a nominee for the Best Couple Award, which is why I attended. I didn’t have any hopes for that award either, as Kim Yeon-kyung is extremely popular, so I was just grateful to be among the nominees,” she shared. 

She added, “As soon as I received the award, my mind went completely blank, and I felt like I was about to cry.” 

Explaining her glamorous outfit choice, she said, “I couldn’t go to the awards ceremony looking casual like usual. I chose a simple, classic dress.” 

The video showed Tzuyang trying on different dresses for the ceremony, discussing options with her staff, and finally making her decision. On the day of the awards, after getting her hair and makeup done and putting on her dress, she video-called her parents to show them her look, reacting shyly and saying, “This is too much—this is maximum exposure.”

Tzuyang commented, “This is unbelievable. I didn’t eat anything since morning. I felt like I would faint from hunger, but I was so nervous that I didn’t even feel hungry.”

Although she tried to set aside any desire to win an award, Tzuyang admitted she couldn’t hide her excitement simply from being at the ceremony. 

Nevertheless, after ultimately winning the Popularity Award, she was moved to tears during her acceptance speech, saying, “There were times when I struggled so much that I just wanted to live. I pushed myself because I wanted to live, and I believe all those moments brought me to this precious place.” Her emotional speech quickly became a major talking point online.
