The Korean foodporn hashtag on Instagram: #먹스타그램
I've been active on Instagram(IG) for over a year now and a couple of months ago I decided to just make my instagram a food photo blog. If you check my Instagram, the photos are usually of food I eat everyday. I've been a Korean food junkie since my university days so I love checking out Korean foodporn shots on the internet.
As many Instagram users know, hashtags are used to make your photos be more popular and accessible and so I use a lot of hashtags on my photos.
I've been cooking a lot of Korean food nowadays because of the availability issues I have in the country where I live. I started using the hashtag #Koreanfood months ago and I noticed that a lot of Koreans I see on Instagram use the hashtag #먹스타그램.
If I were to translate it in English, its an IG slang for meog (eat) and -stagram for Instagram. If you're a Korean foodporn junkie, you might as well use this to look for Korean food shots on IG. This hashtag is very popular amongst Koreans active on IG, which makes it the #foodporn hashtag in hangul. As expected, not many foreigners use this but as I tried using it, I started getting more likes and views on my photos.
It was like I found another group of friends that share the same interests as me.
However, I don't recommend it for people who wants to gain more followers, but, it's a very good hashtag to check great food shots from Koreans themselves. It's popular in Korea and I hope it'll be a great new find for people who are very fond of Korean food like me.
Plus! Another famous hashtag in Korea!
#먹방
먹방 (meog-bang) = 먹는 방송 (meogneun bangsong)
Translates to: broadcasting what you're eating
Hope this post become helpful for people like me. Have a great day everyone!
Bon Appétit! 많이드세요!
