Aired on June 29, the episode of Running Man featured the “Miracle Rice Morning” segment—a food race challenge where the cast had to guess popular breakfast menu items. If correct, they advanced toward a win; if not, they simply enjoyed a hearty meal.

Amid luxurious hotel breakfast spreads, Ji Ye Eun stunned the cast with her unstoppable appetite. After finishing three full servings with dessert, she still had room for more—going back for tteokbokki, rice, and doenjang jjigae.

Even after claiming to be full, she cheerfully took another big bite when “sandwich” was guessed correctly. That’s when Kim Jong-kook couldn’t resist teasing: “When you eat, you’re like Jun Ji-hyun.” Ji Ye-eun blushed, flipped her hair, and smiled shyly.

The laughter only intensified when the show played a coincidental line from Secret Garden: “To me, this woman is Kim Tae-hee and Jeon Do-yeon…” Other cast members joined in, joking, “She’s like Kim Hee-sun,” “Go So-young,” and “Go Hyun-jung!”

Online viewers loved the segment, showering Ji Ye-eun with praise:
