Writer Kim Poong joked, “Is this the warehouse of a convenience store?” Chef Choi Hyun-seok added, “Four refrigerators are like a 100-seat restaurant in scale.” The studio was abuzz with industrial-sized ingredients and a fridge just for drinks.
Tzuyang also shared his favorite ingredients. The crew noticed some single-serving ready meals, which they said were for quick snacks while waiting for food deliveries, prompting laughter.

Its appearance highlights not only the impressive scale of professional mukbang setups, but also the growing popularity and influence of food content on digital platforms.
