In KBS2's 'The Return of Superman,' Oh Jong-hyuk challenges himself to make kimbap for his 32-month-old daughter, Roji.
'The Return of Superman,' which first aired in 2013 and has enjoyed the nation's love for 11 years, features families including Choo Sung-hoon and Choo Sa-rang, Song Il-gook and the triplets, Lee Dong-gook and his five children, Sam Hammington and the Wilben brothers, Sayouri and Zen, Kim Jun-ho with Eun-woo and Jung-woo, and Jay Seon and Jun-beom. This unique parenting program sheds light on the valuable meaning of parenting, highlighting how parents unfamiliar with child-rearing find happiness through their children and presenting various family forms.
Tonight (Dec. 12) at 8:30 p.m., the 564th episode of 'The Return of Superman' airs, featuring the segment 'Only your Superman' with the three MCs Park Soo-hong, Choi Ji-woo, and Ahn Young-mi, along with Superman Oh Jong-hyuk and Park Soo-hong. Among them, 32-month-old Roji, who closely resembles her father, the original flower boy, makes her first appearance. Roji boasts a vibrant charm, holding 12,000 followers on social media. Notably, Oh Jong-hyuk shared, "Roji has max-level sociability," drawing attention to her straightforward charm and boundless energy.
On this day, Oh Jong-hyuk, known as 'Steel Dad' because of his Marine Corps background, prepares breakfast for Roji. Despite his clumsy cooking skills, he manages to make soy sauce egg soup and stir-fried sausages. Roji, enjoying her dad's heartfelt cooking, exclaims, "It's delicious!" and showers him with kisses, spreading joy. In contrast, Oh Jong-hyuk humorously eats plain rice with water, resembling military 'field rations,' declaring, "Taste doesn't matter. As long as I'm full," provoking laughter as he eats only rice without side dishes.
The attention turns to Oh Jong-hyuk, who usually has no interest in food but is attempting to make kimbap for his daughter Roji. Oh Jong-hyuk awkwardly cuts cucumbers and carrots, preparing the fillings. As he starts rolling the kimbap, he causes a disaster by rolling the seaweed and mat together, struggling against the kimbap. Roji, diligently chewing her father's kimbap, suddenly freezes with a stiff expression, making viewers laugh. It raises curiosity about whether Roji will give a passing grade to Oh Jong-hyuk's kimbap.
Meanwhile, in the released stills, Roji is seen painting her eyebrows and cheeks with nail polish, showcasing her unique philosophy as "Princess Roji" in her makeup method, bringing smiles. She opens the 'Roji Beauty Shop,' applying blue blush to her camera uncle, transforming him into a prince like herself. Following this, viewers eagerly anticipate how Roji's charming and mischievous makeup will explode in the main broadcast of 'The Return of Superman.'
