On KBS2 'The Return of Superman,' 37-month-old Si-woo visited his grandfather's taekwondo studio in Hong Kong, signaling the birth of a brave taekwondo boy who acts confidently.
The 571st episode of KBS2 2TV 'Superman Is Back' (directed by Kim Young-min) was titled 'Going Together Doubles the Happiness,' featuring 3MCs Park Soo-hong, Choi Ji-woo, and Ahn Young-mi, along with the mother-son duo Woo Hye-rim and Si-woo and brothers Hwang Min-ho and Hwang Min-woo. Woo Hye-rim and Si-woo visited their grandfather's house in Hong Kong, showcasing a day filled with memories for the three generations of the Taekwondo family, while Hwang Min-ho delighted everyone by sincerely reciprocating the love from fans.
In particular, 37-month-old Si-woo showcased his boldness at his grandfather's taekwondo studio run by his grandfather and uncle in Hong Kong, not backing down in front of unfamiliar people. His mother Hye-rim worried whether he could keep up during his first group class, but Si-woo followed along nicely in his grandfather's pattern class, bringing joy to everyone. Despite the class being conducted in English, Si-woo's ability to accurately follow the movements to his grandfather's commands was adorable and impressive. During a kicking competition, he surprised everyone by defeating his 5-year-old opponent who was at least a hand taller than him. Si-woo's perfect kicking stance, with legs fully extended, convincingly proved the genetic lineage of the '21st dan' Taekwondo family. Additionally, Si-woo had his first sparring match, briefly wobbling while wearing taekwondo protective gear. However, he displayed bravery as he faced his opponent with fiery eyes. Yet, when the sparring began, he was taken aback by a kick from his opponent, quickly running to his mother and exploding with cuteness.
A heartwarming moment showcasing the undeniable resemblance between Woo Hye-rim and Si-woo was revealed. Visiting her childhood home in Hong Kong, Hye-rim shared her memories by showing the room she lived in during school years. Upon entering her parents' room, Hye-rim recalled, 'This used to be all mirrors. This was where mom performed,' reminiscing about her childhood dancing on the bed. Si-woo naturally climbed onto the bed, adorably humming Wonder Girls' 'Tell Me,' which made the whole family burst into laughter. The resemblance between their facial expressions and overflowing energy brought smiles to everyone watching.
Si-woo's fearless boldness was also evident at a local restaurant in Hong Kong. His grandfather shared, 'In the past, we served goose dishes to special guests,' expressing his affection for his treasured grandson who was trying goose for the first time. Si-woo delighted his grandfather by eagerly consuming the unfamiliar dish without hesitation. Eventually, the entire family was astonished when he picked up and ate the goose's head, and his grandfather commented, 'Si-woo is a VIP,' with a proud smile. Si-woo's clever language skills also stood out; when Hye-rim spoke Cantonese to place an order, Si-woo confidently chimed in with 'Yum kui~,' showcasing his communication skills, further highlighting his impressive abilities as a 'super baby.'
Meanwhile, brothers Hwang Min-ho and Hwang Min-woo successfully hosted a 'reverse fan meeting' that they prepared from start to finish. Especially, Hwang Min-ho's heartfelt sincerity towards his fans resonated warmly with the viewers. The entire family spent the day before the performance wrapping gifts for the fans and personally serving the specially prepared food to each fan with care, reciprocating the overflowing love. They also performed a serenade for the fans and even surprised them with shoulder massages, completing a heartfelt experience that warmed everyone's hearts.
Furthermore, Hwang Min-ho expressed his deep filial piety towards his mother, delivering an emotional moment. Hwang Min-ho conveyed his gratitude to his parents, who had been by his side for over 15 years since his brother Hwang Min-woo started performing, by reading an original poem dedicated to his mother titled 'Mom.' Reading the lines, 'Mom is my blanket. She wraps me warmly, melting my ice-cold heart,' his mother, deeply moved, said, 'I want to hang this in a frame,' highlighting Hwang Min-ho's thoughtful heart, which endeared him to viewers.
