There are some obvious foodies in the K-Pop industry who are known for their love for eating—but food is not all they eat.
These idols are known to also eat CDs, microphones and performances on stage.
Let’s take a look at some of the most iconic K-Pop idol “foodies” who love to eat.
1. BTS’s Jin
If we’re talking about K-Pop idols who love to eat, one of our first thoughts is “Jin!” This BTS member is known for his love for eating, and he even had his own little mukbang “show” called Eat Jin where he live-streamed himself eating while talking with ARMYs.

ARMYs are often wondering is, “Where does all the food go?”
But you are skinny even if you ate a lot of food.. now ARMY will ate a lot because of you ?? @BTS_twt #jin thank you for being healthy, please rest and eat well ! Congrats for winning today ?? YOU’VE BEEN DOING WELL LOVE ?? pic.twitter.com/ZOqmU66plT

Because it’s a known fact that Jin loves to eat, ARMYs and fellow BTS members constantly worry about if he’s eating well while in the army.
Was rewatching Hobi’s live when Jimin came and got emotional when they started talking about Jin and if he’s eating properly in military. It reminded me of this edit if members feeding him ? as much as it’s Seokjiniee n 6 babies, he’s their baby too ?pic.twitter.com/gjKgznnNVd

Besides eating food, Jin also enjoys eating microphones like in his performance of “Permission To Dance” where he hit a high note with ease.

Along with singing high notes, he also eats it up at dance parties and bringing smiles to everyone’s faces.

2. MAMAMOO’s Hwasa
Although Hwasa is known for her talents, beauty and unique airport fashion trends, she also became widely popular for her gopchang moment. In MBC‘s reality show I Live Alone, a moment of her eating gopchang alone while sitting outside went viral in 2018. It’s clear to say that a lot of people were going out to their local gopchang restaurants after watching this beautiful moment.

And when she eats, she makes sure to eat in a way that makes viewers proud… and also hungry.

She even makes a Subway sandwich look so delicious like it’s a gourmet burger.

She never fails to bring her all when performing with her full-out choreography and facial expressions that reel viewers in.

Even on live performances, she eats it up. The gopchang and Subway sandwich must go straight into her singing, dancing and performing skills because this video of her on stage is evidence.

3. TXT’s Yeonjun
Yeonjun is definitely TXT’s secret foodie and he shared that he looks up to BTS’s Jin as a fellow foodie. He is always eating.
Every clip of Yeonjun from this I’ve seen so far is of him eating. I love him so much. pic.twitter.com/rizDM7WC9d
— boobin enthusiast (@hope_hardship) February 24, 2023
He was even seen eating in public in a very nonchalant manner.
Remembered when Yeonjun was walking around unbothered while eating a sandwich outside coex mall? pic.twitter.com/sCz4fknXZJ
— t✘t_nation (@forevertxt304) June 29, 2022
However, he’s not so nonchalant with his reaction to eating sour gummies.

But as much as Yeonjun likes to eat, he also eats it up when performing. It’s not very easy to sing acapella, or without music, but Yeonjun does it easily and well—and the fans agree.

Yes, we know he eats CDs but did you know he also eats microphones… literally?

On top of eating his microphone, Yeonjun can even flip it in a cool way, which he does in this awesome performance where he owns the stage with his singing, dancing, energy and charisma.

She not only eats food but the love BLINKS send her in the form of little hearts during an Instagram live.

She is known for having a very slender frame, but she was simply born that way as she has stated that she isn’t the type to gain weight easily. She also does pilates which keeps her in shape.

Maybe the secret is to hiccup and laugh while eating to burn calories like this adorable moment.

Whether it’s eating a whole chicken or little hearts from fans, Rose makes sure eat—and she never forgets to have her daily dose of CDs and then blow the audience away on stage.

And we can never forget this moment: she not only ate up the stage but the winds with her iconic Coachella performance in 2019.

And like the Shakira song, “whenever, wherever” he’s together with food, he looks happy. In fact, it appears that he enjoys eating at award shows.

He also loves the fast-food restaurant Chipotle, saying that he wants to “eat it everyday.” Last year, he even made Chipotle want to change their name because he mispronunciation the name while he enjoying the food.

But besides Chipotle, did you know Jungkook eats CDs as well? Perhaps CDs have negative calories that keep Jungkook’s vocal cords in great shape.

6. ITZY’s Yuna
Yuna may be the lead rapper, lead dancer, sub vocalist, visual, and maknae of ITZY, but she can also add “foodie” to that list. Her love for food is known to the Midzys as she is often seen munching on food in the most adorable way.

There were times she tried to sneak in a bite while they were broadcasting—only to get caught.
*yuna was caught eating while ryujin was reading a midzy’s story*
Yuna: ?
ITZY: ?
Ryujin: ? Focus~!— theshinspirit (@theshinspirit) December 20, 2021
There are other times when she ate without worrying about being caught. Once, while the other members were passionately dancing to EXO‘s “Growl,” Yuna can be seen eating in the corner—and loving every moment of it.

She rocks at eating food and she rocks on stage like this legendary performance of Lee Hyori‘s “U Go Girl” where she showcases her tiny waist and abs.
FACE? ON. BODY? EATING. VOICE? PERFECT. WE FREAKING LOVE YOU SHIN YUNA. pic.twitter.com/yq9tVuN8cX
— jaaa. (@fyedalla) December 16, 2022
She also eats it up with her low and charismatic rapping voice that contrasts with her usual cute and bubbly voice.

8. LE SSERAFIM’s Sakura
Although Sakura hasn’t shared how much she can eat or if she eats a lot, she has made a public declaration of how much eating delicious food means to her.
On an episode of Fearless Sakura, she made a remark about how she would rather live a short life eating whatever she wants rather than living a long and difficult life of eating boring and healthy foods.
Sakura says that rather than just eating healthily and living a long difficult life, she would prefer to just eat delicious foods and die faster! ??? pic.twitter.com/ABUKhOISCl
— Kkura Unnie (@radian_wizone) February 1, 2023
These clips of her eating happily is evidence that she truly finds joy in eating delicious foods.
the only thing that can comfort me rn is sakura cutely eating bungeoppangpic.twitter.com/hUlhrNCAVl
— jaz (@jinri4eva) November 20, 2022
Her love for food must have started since she was she was young. In this clip of a young Sakura, her heart went out for the poor fish that was sacrificed for her meal and she cried—but moments later, her widened at the deliciousness of the fish.

9. Seventeen’s Kim Mingyu
From pizza to ramen to sushi, Kim Mingyu is passionate about eating.

— ? (@tinymingyu) January 30, 2021
He was once seen on Seventeen’s YouTube video clearing a bowl of Korean pork rib stew which caused CARATS to ask him for more mukbang content.
The secret to his staying in shape may be that he is not picky. He eats his vegetables too, especially cilantro.
no,, but mingyu eating coriander ? pic.twitter.com/3rrSPbqQcK
— 밍구좋아 ♡? (@gyusnoona) October 16, 2021
As much as Kim Mingyu loves to eat, he also works hard for his body, too. Here is him “happily” eating an unseasoned chicken breast, convincing himself that it’s delicious.
Reminding everyone how hard mingyu worked convincing himself eating those tasteless chicken breasts to get his ideal physique & he deserves to show off & get praised for it. You’ve worked hard ?pic.twitter.com/dd9vEzvyhw
— mi원우지? (@miwon17_) September 19, 2022
His hard work clearly has paid off as he is often seeing him eat it up on stage, especially on his performance of “Crush.”
ive never seen this mingyu or crush performance wtf he was so into it!?! like he ate left no crumbs I’m a little obsessed!
— f. (@relatable_9yu) March 8, 2022
Then he went ahead and crushed his performance of “HOME;RUN” and ate up that suit and tie outfit.

10. Aespa’s Karina
Karina has once shared that when she can eat, she can eat a lot—and that she can eat up to three ramens to which singer Song Gain responded with, “I don’t even think three ramens could fit in there.”

— ㄹㄹ?⬛ (@eternallykarina) July 8, 2022
She also loves eating donuts too and can be seen eating almost a whole box of six Krispy Kreme donuts. She stops after four donuts to control herself and save her appetite for later, but based on her hesitation while looking at the donuts, she can probably eat more.
Karina is really eating well, she almost finished a box of donuts all by herself? pic.twitter.com/NN8Oscwb3e
— karina’s wife (@ujiminphoria) January 21, 2023
Like Song Gain said, where does the food go? Perhaps it gives her the energy to flawlelssly perform live on stage like she did for aespa’s SYNK: HYPERLINE concert.
