The Story

Dizzy, a fiercely unsuccessful Mukbang YouTuber, is determined to make a living doing the one thing she truly loves: eating. Her family, who mostly loves her, thinks she should get a real job. When she wakes up to find one of her videos has gone mini-viral, she realizes there is a cost to turning her culture into content. As she struggles with what it means to be Korean in America today, she’s confronted by hard-hitting questions like: “Who has the right to profit off Korean culture?,” “Wait, kimchi is cool now?,” and “Is my grandma flirting with my boyfriend?!”
