She continuously expressed admiration while eating Tteokbokki with stretching cheese. Edurnyx also tried dipping shrimp tempura in Tteokbokki. She held fried food and Tteokbokki in both hands and unfolded a proper Mukbang.

International internet users commented on her video, stating their desire to try Korean food. Some asked about the ingredients of Tteokbokki, while others suggested that she visit Korea and try everything before returning. One user inquired about the red sauce used in the dish, wondering if it was made from tomatoes or some other ingredient.

The TikToker enjoyed Korean food while eating various foods in Korea. She ate a lot of representative foods that Koreans love. Edurnyx even ate Yukhoe, which is challenging for foreigners and attracts attention.

Foreigners generally dislike raw food, making Yukhoe unfamiliar. However, Edurnyx tried Yukhoe and expressed satisfaction.

Many fans showed mixed reactions of concern at her eating raw food. They expressed surprise at eating raw meat and raw eggs.

Although she liked most Korean food, she began to cry as soon as she ate a live octopus. TikTok visited a seafood market in Busan, and she began to eat raw foods such as abalone, sea cucumber, and sushi.

She first ate live octopus among them. Initially, she boldly picked up the live octopus and ate it, but she showed a flustered reaction as soon as she ate it. She said, “An octopus is stuck to my lips,” and made a painful expression while crying. The TikToker enjoyed challenging Korean food, but she couldn’t eat live octopus.

③ Considered Dangerous Food Abroad

Live octopus is an unfamiliar food to foreigners. The wriggling appearance shocks foreigners who avoid raw food. Cephalopods with suction cups wriggle even after death. In our country, we cut live octopus and eat it with seasoning such as sesame oil and seeds.

Last year, British pop star Sam Smith was caught eating live octopus at Gwangjang Market during his visit to Korea. He picked up a live octopus with his own hands and ate it. Star chef Gordon Ramsay stirred the public’s attention by revealing his reaction after tasting live octopus during his trip to Korea. He posted a video of eating a live octopus at Gwangjang Market and left a comment saying, “It feels like it’s still moving in my body,” causing laughter.

In the past, a British newspaper named live octopus the most dangerous food in the world. There is a risk of suffocation when eating live octopus. Because it is slimy, removing it if it gets stuck in your throat is difficult. You must immediately report to 911 to prevent suffocation. When eating live octopus, you should eat it in as small pieces as possible.
