This lady earns more than $9,000 a month by eating food in front of a webcam

Park Seo-yeon, 34, eats in front of a video camera during her eating show in her apartment in Incheon, west of Seoul January 22, 2014. Known as The Diva, Park broadcasts for up to three hours every day from her apartment, where she eats alone as thousands of viewers watch and chat with her in real time over the Internet. South Korea's latest fad - gastronomic voyeurism

34-year-old Park Seo-yeon used to work for a consulting firm but has left that job. Why? She’s earning more than $9,000 a month to eat on camera. Going by the name, “The Diva,” she sits down to a table of food and eats for up to three hours. Her viewers chat with her and send her “virtual balloons,” which Reuters says, “translate into cash.”

So, what’s the deal? The Diva thinks it’s about enjoying something through someone else, “People enjoy the vicarious pleasure with my online show when they can't eat that much, or don't want to eat food at night, or are on a diet."
