How it's actually used

Born on Korean streaming platforms and now a global format that kept the Korean name. Koreans use it for the genre and for a specific video.

Examples

Where it comes from

A blend of 먹다 (to eat) and 방송 (broadcast).

Now actually use it out loud

Reading a definition isn't the same as saying it to someone. Lingo Kaiava is a voice tutor set to Korean — it uses 먹방 the way locals do, corrects you in the moment, and never "fixes" the way real people actually talk into textbook Korean.
