Mystic Messenger, Have You Eaten Yet?

The Mystic Messenger app is a popular social media platform that allows users to share their experiences and conversations. Users can ask questions like “Did you eat yet?”, which can be answered in various ways, such as yes, no, or I’m eating now. In Korea, asking if someone has eaten yet is a way of saying “how are you” and can come across as awkward when translated to another language or culture. This question is similar to the Chinese one, which is a polite greeting, similar to “how have you been?” in western countries.

In Korea, people usually ask if they’ve eaten yet before hours, like on the second day of dinner. For example, Yoosung would say “Did you eat your dinner?” on the second day of dinner at 6 pm. This “Have you eaten yet?” question is similar to the Chinese one, which is a polite greeting, similar to “how have you been?” in western countries.

The Mystic Messenger app reminds users to eat, and users can buy “Have you eaten yet?” as a poster or essential T-shirt. In a conversation between Jumin and MC, the user expresses hope that Jumin had their meal. The app is available on Android and iOS, and users can also enjoy the Otome game available on Android and iOS.
