5 K-Pop Stars That Are Making Us Hungry

The world of K-pop isn't exactly known for its healthy eating practices and acceptance of all body shapes, so it's especially refreshing when a star isn't afraid to go to town on their favorite foods. It's also a cool way to learn more about Korean foods (or know what kind of non-Korean grub they find most appealing).

Here's a list of some of the K-pop stars that are making our stomachs growl:

miss A's Min

Min understands Instagram. Her account is the perfect mix of flattering selfies, nail art, an attractive fluffy white puppy, and of course, FOOD. She brings Korean staples like kimchi fried rice, ramyeon, and omurice into the mix, but the account is also a treasure trove of Western junk food. Pepperoni pizza seems to be a favorite, and cheeseburgers get captions like "DROOL" and "WANT." She's also a girl that knows that sharing a steak with mom is the best kind of meal and that heaven is truly the chip aisle of an NYC supermarket. Our favorite, though, would have to be a post from her now-defunct me2day account with a photo of her eating fried chicken. The caption reads, "Cut my bangs, wearing my sunglasses, and in the process of inhaling chicken. Chicken is my best friend." Ours too, Min. Ours too.

CNBLUE

Meat: it's what's for dinner if you're CNBLUE. The boys are notorious for their love affair with all things meat and have earned the nickname of the "Meat-lover's Idol." The topic came up on their episode of Taxi, where they suddenly turn animated when talking about the meat on which they spend a good chunk of their paychecks. Their mutual meat love also brings out their nostalgic side -- another time, Jonghyun told concert goers that before the guys hit it big, they used to go to the supermarket in the wee hours of the morning, when meat was discounted, to spend the little money they had on a small portion of meat. They would then divide it evenly between the group. Check out a classic clip of CNBLUE campaigning to be hanwoo spokespeople on an episode of Gourmet Road:

T-ARA's Jiyeon

The title of this video really says it all: Jiyeon puts all other noodle-eaters to shame with her boss-like eating. Save some for us, please!

Park Soo Jin & Kim Sung-eun, Hosts of 2014 Tasty Road

Tasty Road is a super fun show that guides viewers through the streets of South Korea, trying out new foods, restaurants, and styles of growing and preparing meals. The latest season (the fourth in the series) is led by these two charismatic stars who seem to genuinely love the food they eat. Their passion and their knowledge of the world of food will waft straight from the screen to your taste buds.

Yoon Eun Hye in "Coffee Prince"

This woman knows how to make eating look fun. In her role as the Go Eun-Chan, the tomboy with the appetite of a hippo, the actress had us simultaneously laughing at the pint-sized scoops of ice cream she inhaled and salivating at all the delivious meals she devoured. It's exactly the kind of eating that makes us want to change into sweats, order takeout for 5, and call it a night.
