This study investigates how school-based nutrition and dietary education can influence the relationship between frequency of watching mukbang broadcasts and body image distortion among Korean adolescents. Using data from a sample of 51,743 Korean adolescents collected from the 2022 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey (KYRBS).The results show that frequent mukbang viewers are more likely to have a distorted body image than those who watch less frequently. Furthermore, the positive relationship is substantially weaker among adolescents who have received school-based nutrition and dietary education than among those who have not. These results suggest that nutrition and dietary education are an important countermeasure to the harms of watching mukbang broadcasts.
