In the June 29 broadcast of Running Man, Song Ji Hyo unveiled her hilarious and relatable “foodie instincts”, shocking cast members and viewers with a buffet performance no one saw coming. Despite her recent image as a seductive businesswoman, she’s proving that “bulking-up” is also a superpower.
It’s been six months since Song launched her own underwear line and posed as the brand’s model, revealing a perfectly sculpted figure in a sultry photo shoot that sent the internet into a frenzy. Her confident curves and radiant look earned her nicknames like the “Korean Kim Kardashian.”
However, this week, the only curves being discussed were those of her growing food pile. In particular, as the show’s breakfast buffet mission began, Haha was first to expose Ji Hyo, stating, “I thought Ji Hyo was just slowly enjoying one churro… but when I looked again, she was already on her third.”
Hearing this, Yoo Jae Suk added with a laugh, “Now that Ye Eun is dieting, Ji Hyo is filling her place. She’s the rising star in the new food champion lineup.”
Even Kim Jong Kook chimed in playfully, “These days, it’s like Ji Hyo’s the one stealing Ye Eun’s food. She keeps getting bigger while Ye Eun’s shrinking.” To which Ji Hyo coolly replied, “Bulking up is a talent too.”
When the buffet brought out pork belly, the cast cheered her on like a competitive eater. In a moment that went viral, Song Ji Hyo unzipped her pants on camera, declaring, “Making room in my belly!” causing an eruption of laughter.
Then, as Ye Eun revealed she had already done the same, and the cast erupted, “It’s the ultimate showdown: new mukbang queen vs. the OG!”
