Mukbang YouTuber Tzuyang revealed behind-the-scenes of the awards ceremony.
On the 11th, a video titled "Review of the MBC Entertainment Awards after fasting since the previous evening" was uploaded to the Tzuyangbak Garden channel.
Earlier, Tzuyang won the popularity award at the 2025 MBC Entertainment Awards through Omniscient Interfering View. He said, "I'm not lying, I really can't bear to watch my acceptance speech yet so I haven't watched it. I don't remember what I said," and added, "Actually, this time I received the popularity award at the MBC Entertainment Awards. I'm grateful. I really didn't expect it. I was nominated for best couple, right? So I attended, and even there I absolutely wasn't expecting an award because Kim Yeon-kyung is so popular, so I was just thankful to be a nominee. I had never asked the two what to say for the acceptance speech, right? What they would say. As soon as I received it my mind went blank and I felt like I might cry," expressing her dazed feelings.
Then the producer asked, "Why did you match outfits?" and Tzuyang defended herself, "No, I'm just going to an awards ceremony — I can't go there scruffy like I usually am." The manager also said, "But you almost wore an award-level dress," and Tzuyang retorted, "What award-level dress? I wore a plain dress." Then the manager teased, "It was maximum exposure, though?" which drew laughter.
Later, footage from the dress fitting day was also revealed. Throughout the fitting, Tzuyang kept saying, "I don't think I can eat like this," and only thought about eating. The manager firmly said, "There is no food."
The producer pressed, "Did wearing the dress make you want the award?" and the manager said, "She asked to have more glitter applied under her eyes." Tzuyang said, "I normally do all my own makeup, but I went to an expensive place and got it done almost for the first time."
On the day of the awards ceremony, the manager excitedly said, "Jeon Jeong-won is even thinking about the grand prize. What if Jeong-won wins today?" Tzuyang said, "I won't expect it," but the manager said, "You don't. I'm doing it."
Getting more talkative from nerves, Tzuyang video-called her parents, and when her father saw her he said disappointedly, "It doesn't stand out at all." Tzuyang asked, "Should I have worn something eye-catching?" and her mother said, "Maybe your father wanted something more flashy." Tzuyang candidly said, "Really? This is over the top. I'm at maximum exposure right now."
Also, Tzuyang said tremblingly, "This is unreal. I haven't eaten since the morning. I'm so hungry I feel like I might faint, but I don't even feel hungry. I'm nervous."
In the subsequently released awards ceremony footage, viewers laughed at the sight of Tzuyang carrying out a storm of mukbang onstage. After winning the popularity award, she happily said, "I really didn't expect to win, but fasting overnight paid off," and, as if her tension had eased, continued eating. With bread crumbs all over her black dress, she even regretted, "I should have worn a white dress."
Finally, Tzuyang delivered a fresh acceptance speech for what she couldn't properly say at the ceremony. She said, "It's an honorable award. Thank you. I'm sorry to the fish I defended, and I thank all the food I ate, and not only the 13 million subscribers but also the 650,000 vlog subscribers. I will eat even harder going forward," and when asked about this year's award goals, she frankly said, "I originally planned to just give a brief thank-you during the acceptance speech that day and leave, but the reason my words ran long was that it really felt like it would be the first and last time."
