00:00A vlogger who is famous for making a fake news about his death after he was robbed of his food.
00:06His brother felt bad because he spread fake news about his death.
00:11Ian Cruz has a report.
00:19This is one of the fake news vlogs of the content creator Candido Apatan Jr.
00:23or better known as Dongs Apatan who has more than 400,000 followers on Facebook.
00:29Many were shocked by his death at the age of 38 on June 14.
00:34In a post on his FB page, blood was found on his brain based on a CT scan.
00:40His brother, Lea Apatan, denied that he was the one who robbed Dongs in the last upload.
00:46They ate fried chicken that morning.
00:50Before leaving to visit his friend, he ate a mango.
00:54They did not expect that he would go home with a dead body.
00:59The fake news spread is also painful.
01:10They know that he has high blood pressure but he doesn't eat a lot.
01:24The cardiologist, Dr. Tony Leachon, found out what happened to Dongs.
01:29His blood pressure rose and the root of his brain popped.
01:34He died from a hemorrhagic stroke.
01:38Eating salty food and eating a lot of meat has a bad effect on the body.
01:45You will do that every day.
01:48It will destroy your root of the brain and you can get a heart attack.
01:51The global trend of mukbang comes from the Korean words for food and broadcast that started in 2008.
01:59Based on their studies, watching mukbang becomes another way to be connected.
02:06Viewers can feel that they are not alone or isolated while eating
02:12because they consider the mukbanger they are watching as eating partners or meal mates.
02:20But watching mukbang also has a bad effect like having an eating disorder or internet addiction.
