Meanwhile in South Korea of the Day: Girl Makes $9,000 a Month Eating Food in Front of Her Webcam

The trend, known as gastronomic voyeurism, has grown in recent months. Park Seo-yeon, 34, has been able to quit her day job and instead focus all her energy on her daily meals on camera.

Tens of thousands watch her every day as she serves up disproportionately large meals in her Seoul flat and eats them on a streaming site where she goes by the name The Diva.

Single households are becoming more and more prevalent in South Korea. The people there like to watch others eat because it leaves them feeling with a sense of community.
