South Korea: Kimchi Crazy

Meet South Korea’s unlikeliest superstar – BJ Fitness Fairy.Each night, she eats enough for three people in front of a webcam watched by thousands of viewers. Critics say this bizarre trend is a symptom of widespread unhappiness and a rise of one-person households in South Korea. They believe it’s also a consequence of the government’s fanatic push to use food as a band aid after decades of conflict and colonisation. But the country’s love of food is also changing gender stereotypes. Cooking shows are inspiring men to enter the kitchen.
