Yay Wednesday! | Samgyupsalamay and the Creepy Case of YouTuber Kate Yup

It has certainly been a crazy week and considering it’s just Wednesday. But mid-week means the weekend is around the corner and we’ll once again be free from this weight on our shoulders disguised as ‘adulting.’ While you’re sitting in traffic for 3 hours (thanks, Manila), catch up on the latest trends, happenings, and issues on social media.

I’m one of the intrigued ppl about the mysterious mukbanger Kate Yup who allegedly kidnapped and forced to eat tons of seafood until I found out there’s a missing 16 y/o girl named Karlie Guse and both has similarities: brunnet, same nose, chin, skinny bod even smiles. pic.twitter.com/y1dHwUAmnc

You might have noticed the name Kate Yup trending on Twitter last weekend and if you browsed through the tweets you’ll definitely be creeped out. Kate Yup is a YouTuber who does mukbangs of mostly seafood. Mukbangs aren’t weird but this girl eats a ton of food in under 30 minutes, never speaks on cam, and is always filmed from the nose down. Recently, her subscribers noticed she had bruises on her arm and around her lips leading them to believe she might be held captive and forced to eat a lot for views.

Don’t believe it? Watch for yourself!

In an Instagram post that’s too makalat for millennials everywhere, Tita Kris Aquino announces she is looking for more Facebook friends, preferably guys between the age of 41 and 55. Vice Governor Mark Leviste wasted no time commenting “Looking for someone single, aged 41?” The comments exchange that happened next was incredible.
