About
One of South Korea's most famous mukbang creators, mukbang being a live-streamed video where viewers watch the host eat, usually lots and lots of food, Heebab is renowned for much she can eat and how quickly she can eat it all. Heebab proves that old adage wrong--the one about never eating anything bigger than your own head--on a regular basis. It's how she has amassed a whopping 1.6 million subscribers on YouTube, with 20,000 followers on TikTok and 50,000 on Instagram.
Before Fame
In 2019 she started working for Afreeca TV as one of their BJs. In Korea, independent broadcasters are known as Broadcast Jockeys (BJs). "Bang" itself is Korean for "room." In Korea, there are bangs for all sorts of interests and activities--from singing rooms (noraebangs) and internet cafe rooms (PCbangs) to game rooms (gamebangs). The mukbang is an online-only outgrowth of these other quasi-publicly available bangs. And AfreecaTV is a kind of mashup of a bang, Twitch, and YouTube; it's a "place" where the BJ is the channel host/owner/star and they perform or oversee such activities as playing video games or eating food, all while talking and/or narrating it while they're doing so.
Trivia
She has a bachelor's degree in sociology from Peking University in Beijing.

Her given name is Jwa Hee Jae.
