Reading Aloud 15 Don’t you wish you could get paid for eating, bouncing on a bed or swimming like a mermaid? Well, you can! Park Seo-yeon sits in front of her webcam and lets people watch her eat gigantic meals. Every day, thousands of people watch her every mouthful over the Internet. These ‘eating broadcasts’, which Koreans call mukbang, have become a major hit in South Korea. Park suggested that people had been able to keep to their diets because of her videos. She also said that loneliness might be a factor as Koreans dislike eating alone. If eating in front of a webcam is not your cup of tea, perhaps a bed tester could be your dream job. In the UK, Natalie Thomas’s job title is Director of Bed Bouncing! She spends up to eight hours a day bouncing on beds. Premier Inn, which is the hotel chain that Natalie works for, even said that they had insured her bottom for millions of dollars recently!
