1. What happened with Togimochi's "spit-out suspicion"?

 

On December 21, 2025, a Korean food video posted on Togimochi's YouTube channel attracted attention in an unexpected way. The issue was a "strange movement" that was caught for just a moment in the scene where he was eating Myeongrang Hot Dog, a popular Korean chain.

 

In the video, she puts food in her mouth, chews it, and then, without swallowing, looks down and looks at the table. This movement was pointed out by viewers as looking like she was spitting it out, and the clip quickly spread on social media.

 

Up until now, viewers have commented that she is "thin even when she eats a lot" and that it's "amazing that she actually eats it all," so long-time viewers seemed shocked. Was it just a mistake, or was the backstage view unintentionally shown? This point is what started the current controversy.

 

 

 

 

2. Why the moment of vomiting was revealed | The theory of an editing error is examined

 

So why was this scene released as is? The most likely explanation is that it was not intentionally staged, but rather a simple editing error.

 

Mubang videos take a long time to shoot, and it is assumed that unnecessary parts will be carefully cut out. In particular, popular YouTubers often have a packed schedule while producing multiple videos at the same time, and it is not uncommon for the final check to be lax.

 

In fact, the video in question was deleted immediately after the uproar, but what has been pointed out as strange is that an edited version was not made public. If it was simply a case of forgetting to cut something, the video would usually be re-uploaded after editing, but in this case the video itself remained private. This response has led to growing suspicions that "there may have been scenes that they actually wanted to hide that were left in."

 

 

 

 

3. Did he really vomit? The truth behind the chewing allegations

 

In this controversy, one of the major points of contention has been whether the person actually spat out the food or whether they simply chewed it and threw it away. The act of chewing is what has been attracting attention.

 

Chewing refers to the act of chewing food to enjoy the taste and then spitting it out without swallowing. In the competitive eating and ASMR communities, it is rumored that this is sometimes done to reduce physical strain, and there have been cases in the past where streamers both in Japan and overseas have come under fire for similar allegations.

 

In Togimochi's case, because of her slender figure and her history of eating large amounts of food, some viewers have long questioned whether she really eats everything. This latest video appears to have supported those doubts. However, it is not possible to make a definitive conclusion based on the video alone, and we will have to wait for an explanation from her to determine the facts.

 

 

 

 

4. Why did you announce an indefinite hiatus?

 

On December 22nd, the day after the controversy, Togimochi announced on her channel that she would be taking an indefinite hiatus. In the video, she spoke candidly about her poor health and mental health over the past few months.

 

She revealed that she had been suffering from persistent physical symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and tinnitus, and that her busy work schedule had led to an increase in mistakes, which had also had a negative impact on her relationships with her family. She also revealed that her YouTube activities had changed from something she found enjoyable to something she had to fulfill, which was a major reason for her decision to take a break.

 

On the other hand, the video did not mention at all the allegations of venting, which had attracted the attention of viewers. As a result, many people felt that the explanation was insufficient, and it is true that there were harsh opinions that "they were running away from the controversy."

7. Past controversies: What was the eating habits and father blog controversy?

This is not the first time that she has been criticized. In the past, she has been criticized for her messy eating habits, for introducing Korean strawberries, and for her father's defense on his blog.
