Avid fans of the variety program "Running Man" have seen various sides of Song Ji Hyo from a pretty actress to a strong contender during missions. However, an upcoming episode of the SBS show will transform the South Korean into an eating monster. In the latest teaser clip, as obtained by Star News, the "This Week, My Wife is Having an Affair" will be seen scarfing down several delicious Taiwanese goodies.

Song Ji Hyo, along with fellow cast members Haha and Yang Se Chan, is set to explore Taiwan to complete the next phase of their global project. Part of a special "Running Man" mission, the show's eight members were split into three teams where each group was sent to South Korea's Jeju Island, Taiwan and Japan to accomplish several challenges.
