Episode description

In 2018, a "Mukbang" YouTuber named Kate Yup became a bit of an internet sensation, showcasing her ability to consume monstrous amounts of seafood on her channel, despite being a woman of small physical stature- all the while making sure to keep her face hidden.  As her views rose into the millions, viewers began to notice something...  well, odd about her videos.  People noticed bruising and other signs of physical trauma on Kate, an unsettling presence of another person, and coded messages in the videos asking for help.  As the concern and questions grew, so did Kate's popularity, prompting her to somewhat address it on a video stating she was okay...  yet *that* video contained more coded messages.  Then, suddenly, the videos stopped.  And no one has seen Kate since.  We dive into this strange case with many questions and theories about her identity, and what was REALLY going on with those videos.
