In KBS2's 'The Return of Superman,' Kang Joo-eun, who has a close mother-daughter-like friendship with Woo Hye-rim, will meet brothers Si-woo and Si-an, showcasing her grandmother charisma.
'The Return of Superman' (hereafter 'Superman is back'), which first aired in 2013 and has received national love for 11 years, features Choo Sung-hoon and Choo Sa-rang, Song Il-gook and the triplets, Lee Dong-gook and his five children, Sam Hammington and the Wilbun brothers, Sayuri and Zen, Kim Jun-ho with Eun-woo and Jeong-woo, Jay Seon and Jun-beom, and highlights the valuable meaning of parenting while presenting different family forms, making it the only parenting program in the country that helps inexperienced parents discover happiness through their children.
The 565th episode of 'Superman is back,' airing at 8:30 p.m. on the 19th (Wed), features MCs Park Soo-hong, Choi Ji-woo, and Ahn Young-mi alongside Superman Kim Jun-ho and Woo Hye-rim. Among them, Kang Joo-eun, known as Woo Hye-rim's 'role model,' will meet brothers Si-an and Si-woo. Hye-rim reveals their unique relationship, saying, 'I waited an hour during my first year of university to get Kang Joo-eun's autograph.' The two are so close that they even drafted a 'virtual family relationship certification' on a variety show, surpassing a typical mother-daughter bond. In particular, Kang Joo-eun expresses her fondness, stating, 'Hye-rim is like a daughter to me.'
On this day, 36-month-old Si-woo draws attention by presenting a nimble taekwondo performance to welcome Kang Joo-eun. Si-woo enthusiastically shouts, 'Welcome, Grandma Joo-eun!' not only breaking a wooden board but also fiercely kicking a small ball held by his dad, creating an exciting welcome that elicits cheers from Kang Joo-eun. Si-woo beams with joy at Kang Joo-eun's affection, spreading happiness to viewers.
Amid this, Kang Joo-eun hilariously reacts to Si-woo's address, which causes a laugh. When Si-woo cries out, 'Grandma Joo-eun!', she becomes flustered by the unfamiliar title at 55 years old. Kang Joo-eun remarks, 'I thought it was something said to someone else. But it turned out to be just me,' and adds, 'It's the first time I've heard the title of grandma,' eliciting more laughter. Additionally, while holding Woo Hye-rim's second son Si-an, Kang Joo-eun shares, 'If Choi Min-soo had seen him, he would have thought he was even cuter. The babies are so beautiful,' according to reports.
Meanwhile, with two sons who have already become proper adults, Kang Joo-eun shares sincere parenting tips with Hye-rim, a fellow 'Mom of Two,' and even opened a Western cooking class to teach recipes for Hye-rim, who is not very good at cooking. Anticipation is rising for the broadcast of 'Superman is back,' which will showcase the charismatic mother-daughter chemistry between Kang Joo-eun and Hye-rim.
