Most people look up to idols for several reasons, like their talent and looks. However, it looks like the members of SEVENTEEN are awed by their own Mingyu for a completely different reason. The lead rapper has proven that he is the group's biggest eater. Kim MIngyu did so by finishing an entire meal including side dishes in less than three minutes.
It's no secret that Mingyu loves food. After all, the other members of SEVENTEEN have confirmed that the Face of the Group also happens to be their most enthusiastic foodie. Even Carats know that Kim Mingyu is truly enthusiastic about food. However, the rapper took it to a completely different level in the latest episode of Going Seventeen.
In the first episode of Going Seventeen 2020, the group had to deal with three different food challenges. Not surprisingly, Mingyu loved the idea and was well prepared for the challenges. For instance, he was one of the only members of SEVENTEEN who managed to complete the first challenge successfully.
In the first challenge, the idols had to eat a serving of japchae (stir-fried glass noodles) in five seconds or less. The twist was, they had to pick a number and use a special utensil assigned to their chosen number. Mingyu decided on the number 1 and was told he had to use a fruit fork for the challenge. However, the small fork didn't prevent the rapper from completing the challenge.
Mingyu's technique involved using the dessert fork as a shovel to push the noodles into his mouth. It was so effective that even fellow SEVENTEEN member The8 couldn't believe his eyes. Needless to say, Mingyu was able to finish the japchae within five seconds.
Interestingly, Mingyu didn't stop there. He also completed the third challenge, which required the idols to finish a meal consisting of tteokguk (rice cake soup), galbi jjim (braised short ribs), and a side dish of young radish kimchi. However, they were supposed to finish the meal within an allotted time without going over a certain decibel level.
Mingyu's mission was to finish the meal within two minutes and 30 seconds without going over 85db. Amazingly, this wasn't a problem for the idol who happily consumed the meal in two minutes and 25 seconds. You can watch it below.
It's awesome to see that Mingyu is a healthy eater who has no problems with food challenges. Hopefully, there will be more food challenges for the SEVENTEEN member in the near future.
