It has been revealed that YouTuber Jjyang can eat up to 20 bags of ramen due to a larger stomach than average people.
On the 29th, a video titled 'Jjyang's reason for not gaining weight..?? What is the size of the stomach of a person who eats 20 bags of ramen? Stomach endoscopy and health check-up results!' was uploaded on Jjyang's vlog YouTube channel 'Jjyang's Outside Garden.' The video captures Jjyang undergoing an endoscopic examination for the first time.
After anesthesia, the attending physician looked into Jjyang's stomach and said, 'It is a bit larger than that of women with similar builds.' When the filming staff asked, 'Is that why you can eat a lot?' the attending physician replied, 'Yes.' They added, 'It appears that Jjyang's stomach capacity is about 30-40% larger than average people, and it is estimated that his absorption, digestion, and elimination abilities are superior to others.'
The attending physician also noted, '(I) was a bit surprised to see inside (the stomach),' and 'Jjyang has a body mass index of 17.5, which is considered underweight, yet his stomach is larger than that of most adult Namsung.' The attending physician evaluated that Jjyang's colon is clean without polyps or inflammation, and his liver and kidneys are also very healthy.
The attending physician was particularly surprised that Jjyang has normal levels of glycosylated hemoglobin despite consuming a lot of food. He stated, 'People who eat a lot often have elevated blood sugar after meals, so it’s common for them to have high blood sugar results over six months, but Jjyang's glycosylated hemoglobin is 5.2%, which is normal,' adding, 'He either lowers the blood sugar that rises after eating and exercising, or the pancreas effectively secretes insulin to regulate the elevated blood sugar after binge eating.'
Jjyang gained popularity through content featuring large quantities of food. His vlog YouTube channel has approximately 11.8 million subscribers.
