Yingying (real name Chen Ziyi), a Chinese mukbang (eating broadcast) influencer with 1.2 million followers, has died. She was 24 years old.

According to recent reports from local Chinese media, Yingying's parents announced on the 4th that she passed away on the 17th of last month.

Born in 2002, Yingying produced mukbang content under the name 'GanbanYingying' on the local short-form platform Kuaishou. She gained popularity for her content featuring large quantities of food and amassed approximately 1.2 million followers.

Three days before her death, on the 14th of last month, Yingying directly announced that she had been hospitalized due to hypokalemia. At the time, she explained, "My blood potassium levels once dropped as low as 2.3mmol/L, and when I went to the emergency room, they were at 2.5mmol/L."

She continued, "It may look glamorous on the surface, but behind the scenes, you have to keep eating all night long. Money is important, but health comes first forever, so please take good care of your bodies as well."

Yingying also revealed that in a past live broadcast selling 'pidan' (preserved duck eggs), she once ate 60 to 70 at a time.

However, there is currently no known information regarding Yingying's specific cause of death.
