There was an article on Facebook that caught my eye. It was regarding a hot new topic on Youtube that has been gaining attention. People commonly vlog in Korea regarding topics such as 먹방, which is eating, GRWM (Get ready with me), and makeup artists. This concept was one that I had never heard of before- Study with me. I was curious so I clicked on the link, and there is a person sitting at a desk literally studying. I was so surprised because there was no talking involved.
I am curious why Korean people start these new topics and how they go viral. Even my friends watch 먹방 while they are eating, I turn on GRWM videos with makeup artists as I get ready, but I'm not sure if I will ever hop on the bandwagon of "Study with me".
I am attaching the video which has 2.8 million views.

I actually never heard about this! Personally, I enjoy watching mukbang's even when I'm not eating, and so it leads me to question the popularity and amount of views for studying videos. I would think that people would not watch them for entertainment, and therefore there would only be views from people who were trying to study. I think many of these new, trending types of videos provide innovative ways to connect with other people across the world and thus never feel like one is alone. However, I don't think I would watch these studying videos either.
