A Turkish TikToker known for mukbang videos, where he ate large amounts of food, has died at the age of 24 due to health complications. The news was recently reported by the Turkish media outlet *Türkiye Today*.
Efecan Kultur, famous for sharing eating videos, was a well-known mukbang influencer in Turkey. He had over 155,000 followers on TikTok and more than 12,000 on Instagram.
Mukbang is a live-streaming format where hosts consume large quantities of food while interacting with viewers. The trend began in South Korea in 2010 and soon spread worldwide, including to Turkey.
Kultur struggled with obesity and stopped posting content in October last year. His health deteriorated due to complications from weight gain, leaving him bedridden by December. He later experienced breathing difficulties and required a ventilator. Kultur passed away on March 7.
Viewer Comments:
He was eating at the cost of his life. He didn’t have to live in such a rush.
Being able to gain that much weight is a talent in itself.
If you die young, you actually end up eating less than others. Feels like a waste.
